[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 662812, member: 9169"] They are serious about it but they started doing it for fun and still have fun at it. Competition barbecue seems to have a lot of camaraderie with the teams. Sort of, "Hey, I am going to do my best to beat you and you're gonna do your best to beat me, but that's no reason not to have a beer together and swap stories while we babysit these smokers all night....." I have seen coverage of the bigpigjig on tv and it looks like a blast. But it costs a lot of money to travel that far, and trying to get everyone on the team's vacation time lined up together is a nightmare, so they haven't been able to compete that far away from home yet. Also, they haven't cooked a whole hog but maybe once, now that's something that is hard to practice! Here's a photo taken at Rock n Ribs in Springfield, MO in April this year. There were 60 teams; they took 5th for chicken and 8th for ribs, 12th place overall. So they aren't a 600 pound gorilla team (yet!), but they consistently place towards the top of the pack and have won some championships.
