I think I saw ronbreau had this down to cook in.

He'll be along to let you know for sure.

Nope. Not me. My next comp is September 10th and 11th in Jennings.

I was hoping someone might be cooking over there. Thought they might could use a sous-chef (aka fetcher). I would love to get some hands on training.  ;D

Check to see if you have a local Barbecue Society, many of them have a mentoring programs. Some provide this free with your club dues, others will charge a small fee. Basically what will happen is that they will match you up with a team in your area that is willing to take on the role of mentor.

Show up in Jennings. I'll put you to work. I would be happy to show you the ropes. Just don't drink my beer! ;D
