Most important / least important things to take to cook-off | Cookshack

Former Member

Tom brought up this topic in another thread:

What are your "must-haves" when competing?

What have you learned over the years that you can live without?

I think it will be very interesting, and helpful to new competitors, to read what you experienced folks have learned over the years.

Thanks!

Most important is a checklist to start with. There are several variations out there, I have one too, but I'd start with that.

It's a LONG list of things...

You want me to start a list?

Seasonings (rubs & sauces, etc), stuff you can't buy where ever it is you're competing. A sharp brisket knife. A good cooker and everything you need to run it. Most important for me is to have a backup plan because I always forget something (and yes, I have a check list too)!

Well now,if you call CandySue before the cookoff and she is going,she'll bring you different flavors of pellets.

That way ,you don't have to remember to bring them.

Like Smokin' says,a working list.

If you have more than one cook,split the list,so you aren't duplicating-or omitting.
