Pappa Charlies will be there.
We stunk the place up last year but it was my first event in 7 months due to relocation. We did have a great time.
I'm not a big fan of the "peoples choice" which takes place right when your prepping for turn ins but it can't be worse than all the questions I had to field at Sams Conroe from shoppers. I was on the outside row facing what felt like the main entrance to the Sam's Club.
The event was well run last year and the cooking area is behind a chain link fence and you need wristbands to get in so alot of the festival folks don't bother you. Until they open the gates for peoples choice then the savages attack! There is alot going on besides the cook off, so you can wander around when you get some down time.
I've always done my thighs on my UDS so its kind of grilled and kind of smoked. If your going to scrape, do it at home before you head up, eaiser than doing it on site. Also, if your using a smoker and going to ramp up the heat, don't be afraid to practice your temps in the oven, same concept, just without the smoke. Three words. Practice, practice, practice.
Look me up when you get there and if I can be of any help, just let me know.
