I can see the price of the ego of winning (my wife would have some vision problems there with $$$ outlay)

Is it the bragging rights?

Is it the "joy of BBQ'ing?

Are there some "little competitions" that are a lot cheaper.

Where's Myron getting all his winnings from? Are there really some big purses out there?

Dang, I really want to do one now (just not that much $$$.)

When I have this conversation with other folks on why.....I try to tell them it's like racing dirt track cars, tell me how many of those folks break even. We all load our chit up and go have fun on the weekend though.

You can get into a local contest around here for $125-150, but meat is still gonna cost the same if you are trying to win. We do resale some of it though.

Just as happy when our friends do well, as if we do. It really is legalized gambling after you think about it.
