Killer Hogs at Memphis In May 2018 For the past 13 years we’ve competed at the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest in downtown Memphis. And it’s always one of the hardest and most fun weeks of our year. This year, we managed to collect a little footage and Rachelle put together our first Memphis In May video… Over the past …
Finding The Right BBQ Butcher It’s really important to find a good bbq butcher you can depend on – especially for your backyard and competition bbq needs. When your smoking and grilling bbq, you want to use best meat so you’r finished product will be way better than average BBQ. When I’m cooking at home for practice or just for …
BBQ Bacon Burger Recipe This BBQ Bacon Burger has bacon and cheese mixed into the actually burger meat… but it’s the crispy fried onions and the BBQ sauce on top that really make it worth cooking. Out of all the burgers I have been trying and cooking lately, this one is easily one of my favorites. And really, it’s pretty …
I got the chance to try out a pretty cool like gas grill that would be perfect for tailgating. It’s called the Elevate Grill – and it’s about the size of a briefcase. You could take it anywhere. Since this is a travel grill, I decided to cook one of my favorite foods for tailgating: Italian Sausages. I was pretty …
You gotta keep your grates on your grill clean. It just makes your life so much easier if you go ahead and clean it as soon as you are done cooking. My old school grill brush broke a few months back so I had been using tinfoil I balled up and used to scrape the grates. This gets the job …
As a professional BBQ’er, I’m always looking for new BBQ products to make my life easier. More often than not, these products are too good to be true, but occasionally I come across something that I want to include in my assortment of cooking equipment. This leads me to the product I’m reviewing today: Mr. Grill Heat Resistant Gloves. These …
The Killer Hogs (Waylon Reed, Rachelle Reed (my wife), and myself) along with Mark Lambert of Sweet Swine O’ Mine hosted another exciting two days of Barbecue Live back in January. Our class is always a no-holds-barred, information overload on how to win at the KCBS level, and this rendition left no stone unturned. We were fortunate to have some …
In honor of Cochon 555 coming to Memphis next weekend, I wanted to talk about what this traveling event celebrates… Heritage Pork. Now, when you go to your average supermarket for pork that’s what you get… average meat. Over the years the market has demanded a leaner, cheaper and faster-to-market hog. Unfortunately this has driven the quality of the meat …
A week ago I had a ton of great barbecue questions come in, so I shot a few videos answering them. On question was all about controlling and building a fire – and feeding the fire vs the the vent at the top of cooker. A Backwoods model is the perfect smoker to demonstrate this on, so I shot this …
We had some great response from Barbecue Live… and I’m so glad that people really enjoyed the class. But there is one email that I just had to share from Jack and Jimmy from Triple J&C Cookers. OMG!! What a weekend in Olive Branch, Ms at the Barbecue Live Cooking Class!! Anybody BBQing in backyard, amateur or even professional events …
When I think about Ubon’s, I think about great BBQ, great people and the finest southern hospitality you can find anywhere. And last weekend we stole several pages out of the Ubon’s hospitality handbook. At our BBQ Class, we started Saturday morning off with Ubon’s Bloody Mary’s. (the best Bloody Mary’s your gonna find) Then for dinner we served Ubon’s …
Last week I had someone ask for advice because they were gearing up to do their first BBQ contest. And I’d thought I’d share my response here for anyone else who is looking to get started in this glorious thing we call competition BBQ… When it comes to competition BBQ, preparation is the key. It will make the entire experience …
This past weekend the MBN held their first ever BBQ Bootcamp. And I gotta say, this was a great event and cool learning experience for new teams. I wish they would have had something like this when we were coming up. Basically it was set-up as a mock contest. Teams brought their rigs, their supplies and everything else they needed …
It’s the time of year when Sting-Kill puts together a great grilling recipe contest. This year they are giving away a prize packs of Sting-Kill swag, Killer Hogs Rub Combo pack AND a Blackstone Pizza Oven. And the grand prize winner also gets a trip for 2 to my cooking school, Barbecue Live, in January. All you gotta do to …
The first thing I’d like to say is that the BBQ community has lost a true pioneer this year, Mr. John Willingham. John meant so much too many people in and around the BBQ world. He leaves behind a legacy that cannot be equaled and he will truly be missed. Our prayers go out to the Willingham family. This year’s …
