Summary: I was joined by Jack Waiboer of Common Interest BBQ Team and Russ Cornette of Smokin Coles BBQ Team. These two pit masters teach a competition cooking class with a few other guys in the Carolinas aptly named The Carolina Pit Masters class. What is unique about this class versus some others is twofold. First, after they are done cooking, they have qualified SCBA judges to taste the food and have Q&A with. Secondly, this team of teachers do these classes to benefit local charities in this case, they will be donating to the Shriners in Summerville, SC with their class on March 6th & 7th. Check them out at www.carolinapitmasters.com Russ Cornette also makes his own bbq sauce and bbq I suggest going to his site and picking some up. Visit www.smokincoles.com to find out more and to order! Phil White, professional game shoe winner won the sauce and rub tonight, which happened to be supplied by Smokin Coles. Russ has asked to donate some more sauce and rub in the future to other lucky winners! I also found time to talk a little bit about the competition briquette from Kingsford, talked about judging bias not only in barbecue competitions but in baseball Hall of Fame voting and reviewed Billy Bones Mild BBQ Sauce which can be found at www.billybonesbbq.com
