[QUOTE="TAFKAP, post: 5025534, member: 7776"] Save your time, money, emotion, & heartache. The competition circuit is full of a bunch of know-it-alls, and they're all out to get ya. There are great folks too, but they're also out to get ya. I've been a social member of a Memphis in May BBQ Fest Team since 2000, and the last thing I want to do is try to compete. The flavor of what judges are looking for is 180° backwards from what actually tastes good. I'm a very good cook, and can make some really good food on the smoker/grill, but wouldn't waste my time trying to compete against 100 other dudes. I have better things to do with a weekend than set up a rig, spend all night cooking, prepping, cleaning, etc. just to break it down on Sunday with a 7th place trophy and a $50 Gift Certificate. And the idea of poking holes and injecting a pork shoulder with apple juice is just wrong. But if the judges don't think it tastes like a jug of apple cider, you're not gonna win. [/QUOTE]
