A behind the scenes look at cooking in a SC BBQ event with the Big GQ BBQ Team. We only cook events that benefit a worthy cause or charity. We hope it will inspire you to find a way to have fun and give back.

I got an offer I couldn’t refuse a couple of weeks ago ... a gentleman named Garland Hudgins emailed me on some past columns I had written on becoming a barbeque judge and the opening of barbeque competition season in South Carolina. Garland and his wife, Rebecca, make up the Big GQ BBQ competition…

This will be a great class you do not want to miss!

Carolina Outdoor Cooking is proud to announce we are teaming with Mike and Debbie Davis of Lotta Bull BBQ to present the Lotta Bull "U" Technique Cooking Class coming to Greenwood, SC on April 4th & 5th, 2014. AND we have a special offer for all SCBA members!
Mike and Debbie Davis of Lotta Bull BBQ have over 20 years of BBQ competition experience including 81 Grand Championships, 60+ Reserve Grand Championships, 1250+ Top 10 category awards, a world championship from the Jack Daniel’s World Championship with a perfect 180 score and four (4) American Royal Grand Champion crowns. Learning from this type of experience can make the difference in your cooking experience. You will learn the Lotta Bull technique, confidence, and consistency that have won championships time and time again. You learn everything to do from start to finish…from meat prep (which is hands on), all the way to the presentation in the box!
This is a great opportunity to learn from one of the world’s best BBQ teams. Carolina Outdoor Cooking is proud to be a sponsor of this must do class. We are also excited to extend a 10% discount on registration for all SCBA members who want to attend this one of a kind class.

Great time in at the Mauldin BBQ and Family Festival. We managed a 2nd in Pork and a 4th in Ribs out of 20 teams competing. It was good to see our BBQ family and friends. Next time we hope the rain will stay away. :)
