I met Tommy Houston of Checkered Pig two years ago at the Grill'n & Chill'n BBQ Cook-Off in Waxhaw, NC. I saw him again this year, in Waxhaw, and asked if he would be willing to do an interview with me for my blog. He graciously said he would. Tommy is a busy guy. He owns a restaurant in Martinsville, VA, caters, and travels around to do BBQ competitions. With all that going on he agreed to do an interview.

My fellow Q-blogger Big Wayner put me in contact with Matt of Hot Grill on Grill action. They were one of the contestants on BBQ Pitmasters back in season 2. Going back and forth with Matt in emails has been fun. He and the Hot Grill on Grill team are a group I would love to hang out with at a BBQ competition.  They were happy to oblige me with an interview and I'm in the process of reviewing their BBQ book The Book on Competition BarbequeVolume 1- Priceless for Beginners, Perfect for the Pros. So far it's great and it has a lot of information for those who want to start a team. Read on and find out more about this team.

Since they will be featured on the April 26 BBQ Pitmasters show, I'm releasing the May interview a little early so you can find out more about one of the teams.

I'm always looking for teams to interview for my blog. Jeremy, of Fergolicious BBQ, contacted me about their team and asked if I would be interested in featuring them. After exchanging emails I was more than happy, and honored, to feature them on my blog. They've been judging and competing since 2012 and are one of the contestants on this season (season 5) of BBQ Pitmasters. Find out a little more about how they got into BBQ and how they prepared for the show.
