I would disagree with the second statement. At the competitions I have
attended, I have not been impressed wtih the quality of the BBQ from the
competitors. I've been able to produce far superior food to the
often-times slimey (from being steamed rather than smoked), over-sauced
meats available from those who are proclaimed as "best".
