Hello all,
After having a WSM for about 3 years now, I feel like I'm ready to take the next step and try a competition.
I picked one out in 3 months that is close to me and looks like a good choice.
I have a couple newbie questions that I haven't seen addressed in either the contest materials or other threads here:
1) Does every member of your team have to be a member of the KCBS or does only the team leader need a membership?
I recently got my membership, but I don't really have any bbq people to go with me as teammates. I will basically be picking a family or friend to go with me each contest to help out as directed, but these people wouldn't have a KCBS membership.
2) How is the "Anything Butt" portion of a comp usually handled? I see it on the schedule for Friday night at 6:30, right after the cook's meeting at 5:00. Is the "Anything Butt" usually a contest where you do turn-in boxes, or is it just simply for fun to serve to people, etc?
3) Can you bring pre-prepared items to the event? Such as your rubs, sauces, marinades, brines, etc.? Wasn't sure if you had to bring only the spices and ingredients separately and THEN mix them together at the event OR if you could bring the rubs and sauces already mixed up.
Thanks,
Bryan
