Yes, the good old boy factor is alive and well for sure. From what I have seen the venue supplies electrical power and water, though perhaps not 100% of what would be needed. My rig will be a wood pellet setup in terms of the smoker, with minimal cooking actually inside the kitchen. I'm not...- vbgore

I have noticed that the fair vendors do keep it simple. No sides, no complicated plating. "Fair Food" is a cuisine unto its self. People wait all year to go eat the stuff they would never dare. Deep fried twinkies, etc. Being able to offer fountain drinks seems like a must as well. In a fountain...- vbgore

I have researched the space fees a good bit. Typically the cost is either a flat fee based on square footage, or a % of sales and sometimes both. Of course you will pay extra for extra services like electrical etc. But with respect,a NON food booth is not the same as a food booth. As I posted...- vbgore

I have been working in a job that allows me to travel to several state fairs and rodeos. One thing I have noticed is that regardless of how big or small the event is from our perspective, the food vendors are ALWAYS killing it. Just recently I was at the Nebraska state fair (one of our smaller...- vbgore

Steak On A trager Wood Pellet Smoker. To Sear Or Not To Sear?
Both of you are suggesting what I had in mind, which makes me feel better. I was going to use a slow and slow hickory of mesquite smoke using my AMAZN pellet box (cause I also have some stuffed mushrooms and jalapenos to do at the same time) then Finish the steaks and bacon wrapped peppers on...- vbgore

Steak On A trager Wood Pellet Smoker. To Sear Or Not To Sear?
I am going to do some steaks on my Traeger wood pellet grill for Father's day. I just bought one of those A-MAZE-N pellet boxes for added smoke and I'm dying to use it.

HELP! Pulled Pork EMERGENCY!
205..yeah ur right! Quick question...when wrapping in foil should i put them in a roasting pan and cover with foil or wrap the but itsself in foil and put on the rack. Lastly...once covered in foil, the smoke becomes a non factor...so why not put it in an oven where I can better control the... -
