There is minimal advantage to how much money one competitor has versus another.<br /><br />I only brought this up because there is a certain number of potential future competitors and even sponsors that might get the wrong idea about how much it really costs to compete.<br /><br />My wife and I are perfect examples. We competed for three years with the minimal equipment one could probably ever hope to use--F-150, WSM, and Backwoods Smoker, a cot, a couple of tables, a canopy, and some dish washing supplies. We spent about $1,700 for the equipment and often performed better than those with more expensive equipment. I do believe it's the cook that counts most, not the equipment.<br /><br />I am not saying it's bad to live in an RV. I was merely asking the question if potential future competitors and spectators would find us easier to approach if the RV's were parked in a separate parking lot at bbq events? <br /><br />I think they would.The BBQ Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878089791775399855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726800.post-81739499678203270502007-01-27T23:35:00.000-05:002007-01-27T23:35:00.000-05:00And some people live full-time in these $250k+ RVs...And some people live full-time in these $250k+ RVs. Is living in an RV, traveling and competing less acceptable than staying in a motel room while traveling and competing? Is a person somehow less a worthy competitor if they live in an RV rather than a $250k house?<br /><br /> These behemoths are full-time homes for many, many people, no different than your house. Does a competitor have to live in a dilapidated old school bus to be acceptable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
