First Time BBQ Competitor.

[arich916]

Hi my name is Alberto and I am entering into my first KCBS sanctioned bbq competition. I was a professional bbq caterer for years and a restaurant chef classically trained. I love barbecuing and I'm looking into making the jump into this crazy, but lovely sport. If anyone would be able to offer some advice I would be really grateful!

Welcome to the Pit from southwest Florida. I’ve never done any competitions, so I can’t give you any advice there. Good luck and try to have fun.

Welcome from upstate NY! I'm excited for you and look forward to seeing your posts about your new adventure. While I have never competed in anything formally I have run a small catering business. Your organizational & planning experience you have developed will serve you well in competitions as the timing is a critical component. There are more than a few folks here on the Pit that have competed so I am sure they will chime in with their thoughts.
