There are no magical solutions as various factor come into play, with economics probably No. 1. On Episode 361 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we take a stab at examining - from a contest organizer\u2019s point of view - what makes for a good comp, a not-so-good comp and all points in between with long-time organizer Carl McBee. We hope our listeners will add to the conversation in the comments section, though transparent and frequent communication along with bang-for-your-buck prize funds certainly seem to be at the top of everyone\u2019s lists. Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their Father\u2019s Day cooking results and preview what\u2019s ahead as the weather heats up in the short stretch run up to the 4th of July weekend.  A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.
