Eric
Are you foregoing the crazy time limits this year? I want to bring my big old Texas smoker and smoke exotic meat all day Saturday. S-L-O-W cooking. No fast cooking. Are you game? Bring meats to smoke challengers.
I sent you a PM. We have to stick with the existing format – after all, it’s a cooking challenge.
Will there be other non lethal trails to explore for those who do not have full on rigs or care about damage?
Absolutely.
