Just out of curiosity, what crazy superstitions do people have when competing? Just seeing if I am the only crazy one out there.

Not a competing one, but my wife asks me why I sit and stare at the thermometer.

Nothing to think of as for comps, but when I played hockey (goalie) I'd scrape the ice around the net just so. If it did look right I put water on it and started over again.  ;)

Sounds like Mother's guilt, a Jewish Mother's guilt at that.

We at every competition have a pineapple, a tube of Pringles, Papa Johns Pizza (have actually picked one up and traveled 75 miles because it was the closest one around & reheated it up on the smoker for dinner), and something Bears related. Couple issues, I know.

When I light the charcoal, I do it at 4 point's. Like looking at a clock, I start at 12, 3 ,6 and 9 o clock positions. I don't know why I do it, It makes no sense being that it will be one BIG fire anyway. Just one of my strange things I do.
The main thing is, DON"T BRAG on your past wins. That will get ya every time!!
