Welcome! I am the above referenced KCBS MCBJ, CTC, frequent cook and "philosopher" on competition BBQ topics. New competitors are always welcome and I love to help new cooks and judges whenever I can. There are quite a few posts in my section that are written especially for new folks so do browse those. Finally, please feel free to send me a PM if I may be of assistance. I'm cooking in Franklin, NC this weekend but will be online today and early tomorrow morning (I don't do cell phones for posting and can just barely make one work for phone calls
)
There is a competition section here as well, so check to see what might help you there, too.
Best of luck to ya'
