Got my confirmation letter yesterday! Who else will be there? You suppose there'll be water at teams' sites? Need pellets?

Haven't gotten a confirmation yet, but plan on being there.
Any tips for newbies going (guess I need to bring water).

Russ, I think I'll call Jeff today about the water. No need to bring the sink if there ain't no hose.
When is this contest?

Not this weekend, but next. Bentonville (home to Walmart) Arkansas
Just got off the phone with someone in the office up there. Said all the letters went out late. Haven't cashed my check yet.
There'll be no water service at individual sites. RVs may be accomodated like last year, but for those of us low-renters, leave the sink at home and bring water. I just hope the electric is good...

I am headed out to Bentonville in a few minutes, where I plan to take pictures of all you FEC folks taking calls.
I'll get a couple of shots of Smokin' in his trailer workin' up a sweat.

'bout 3:45 in Bentonville.
Smokin' should have had his second cold drink, after final turnin and be packin up the new trailer.
Be done just about in time to wipe hisself off,get the foldin' chairs for him & the missus, to hike on over to the stage for awards.
Hope it's a jubilant trip back to OCOK.
John's at the house with us.
Give us a call with results.

Out of 57 teams in B-ville, 7 were using FEC100's. All the way from one of Eddy's originals (Just Hav'n Fun) to recent ones (smokin'101).
Teams
smokin'101
papashaka
smokin' jay's
pellet envy
smokin' okie
candy sue
just hav'n fun
I don't have all the results, because it was happening so fast I didn't get it all written down, but here are the basics:
3rd overall - smokin'101
5th overall - pellet envy
smokin' okie was 6th in chicken
papashaka was called for brisket
smokin' jay was, I think, called for either pork or brisket
Smokin' will have the complete results posted soon, I think.
I had a great time and it looked like everyone else did, too.

7 out of 57, not bad market penitration, 12.2%. Sounds like a fun cook. Congrats to all.

Bill, 12.2% is great! From what I observed no other cookers were that well represented.

Fred Smith, congratulations on getting called at Bentonville! I didn't mention you in the other post because you were cooking on another cooker. See, if you want to be famous on the forum you have to use your FEC.

Congrats to all the good guys.
We'll look forward to hearing more.

If you were called at Bentonville, and you were using an FEC, and you are not Candy Sue 
I will send you a bag of pellets of your flavor choice. Send me a private message with your choice, and your shipping address.
To send a private message, look over to the left of your screen where you see my name. Click on my name and then click on "Invite Donna to a Private Topic".
Donna, who just loves to see these FEC teams winning!
PS Candy Sue can't have pellets because she owns a company that manufactures them. I was not just being mean.

Donna,
Where is the love? First, head bonks and now disrespect because I use an FE and an OH. No points for using Cookshack Spicy Chicken. A sensative guy like me could get their fellings hurt.

Oh, Fred, I would never try to hurt your feelings. I just like to razz you a little bit sometimes. And thank you for mentioning Cookshack Spicy Chicken Rub. If more of you used it on your chicken and pork you would get more calls. Just my opinion, LOL!
