Wow, you guys are talking about a lot of money. Those are probably pretty darn nice events but I will admit I could not afford them. Our events usually cost us $100 to $150 (sometimes less if its a beer joint cook) for the entry fee. Then I buy two whole chickens (less than $10 for the both of them), two 10lb or 11lb briskets ($1.39 a lb) and 3 or 4 racks of spare ribs ($1.69 lb usually). Then it usually cost me about $15 in wood for the pit. Factor in ice, cokes, bottled water, and of course beer and margarita mix and tequila for the margarita machine. We usually bring some eggs and beans and tortillas. I usually do about two cookoffs a month. I am sponsored for half of the entry fee and half of the seasoning and meat cost. I could not imaging spending $3000 just to cook for one event.

Youre right about those $$$ figures. Thank GOD for Texas or we wouldnt be able to afford to do this. 3k for 1 contest, Wow that gives me the shakes. When I go to a comp. I usually have 3-4 Chickens, 4 Brisket, and 9 Racks of Pork Spares. All of that with breakfast and supplies (like wood and charcoal) doesnt even come close to 3k.  My wife would Cook me on the pit if it was!!

Yea, I could see spending several thousand if I got invited to The Jack, but that includes travel and a few extra fun items for such an occasion. KCBS contests are running me about $500, without a hotel room. I don't think I have to worry about The Jack.
