Are our smokers legal?

[westexasmoker]

They have a bbq competition here in town every year, and looks like the company I work for is wanting to put together a team which has a huge offset, but I was wondering if using the OBS is legal for use?

Probably depends on the competition but I am pretty sure that electric smokes are illegal at most. I am sure someone else will have a definite answer for you.

That is my understating also. The electric smokers generally can't compete.

What about the propane unit, or is it charcoal / wood only ?

[westexasmoker]

Thats a good question FL, I guess I'm gonna have to go find the rules involved, even if we have to use the offset (not a problem) it would still be nice to use the BS to keep things hot.

No, as a general rule they are not legal.

No, as a general rule they are not legal. 

Sad but true. Most contest rules I saw said wood / charcoal.
