Even after years of competition, we still follow a very rigid inventory process the night before we head out to a contest. There are so many things you need to bring and it’s very easy to forget something.?? What we have tried to do, is package up our gear in the same methodical way every time we load up and tear down for each contest…this way we know where everything “should” be.

If it isn’t in it’s proper place – we’ll begin looking around and if it can’t be found – we need to replace the item.

Though we’ve developed our own checklists, we did start with the one attached below and feel it is the best one that can be found on the web.

We will always use these, just to make sure we won’t have the stress of not having something important…as the cook itself is stressful enough!

Here it is:? EventChecklist
