How to win a barbecue cook off
Review the rules of the barbecue cook-off.
To qualify for winning the cook-off, you must follow and adhere to all the contest rules. For example, if the rules prohibit you from using lighter fluid on the coals within your grill, start the grill using newspaper and matches instead.

Options are:
(1). Obtain a copy of the rules by consulting with the panel of judges for the cook-off or by visiting the website for the cook-off. Learn about the backgrounds of the cook-off judges.
(2). The exception to the rules is if you are roasting one piece of meat before you heat the other, because the lighter fluid should be easier to heat and rub off. Make sure any tablecloths, dish towels or other similar items are thoroughly dry before grilling.
(3). Some barbecue cookouts require a designated grill so you can serve the food or grill it directly on the campfire. If you don't have a designated grill, set one in your backyard if there is one where you can grill the food.
(4). If the rules prohibit you from using deep pan lids, or heated charcoal, you can still use your grill by dipping paper towels into a bucket of water to prevent a burnt glow from seeping through. Avoid using boiling water, or you won't get anywhere.
The answer is:
(1).
