The BBQ Forum
This is where it all began for me. I’ve learned more about barbeque in this one place then potentially everywhere else combined. Ray Basso has done a wonderful thing for the world of barbeque.

Kansas City Barbeque Society
The KCBS is the single largest governing body of competition barbeque. Check out the new website with team bio’s and the complete list of events all over the country.
Blues Hog Barbecue Sauce
Bill Arnold is the creator of Blues Hog Barbecue Products. I’m proud to call him a good friend. His products have greatly contributed to our success in competition barbeque. Not to mention, they’re just damn good!

Smokin’ Guns BBQ and Catering, Inc.
Phil and Linda Hopkins are great friends of ours. We have used their rubs since day one. They are awesome people, have a great restaurant, and have really great bbq products.
BBQ’rs Delight Wood Pellets
Candy Weaver is a talented cook and competes on the KCBS circuit as BBQ’rs Delight. Her pellet products are awesome and the variety is amazing. I am very partial to her hickory/oak blend.
The Ingredient Store
I have been very luck to know Joe Ames for quite some time now. Joe has an understanding of food science like noone else I’ve ever met. Joe’s son Bob runs the show now. Give their site a look. They have some really great stuff there.

Cimarron Doc’s Bar-B-Q & Chili Company
Larry Koch obviously has the same philosophy about barbeque as me. He offers only a handful of products, but everything he sells is the best. His two rubs are outstanding. I recommend you try them both.
Cookshack, Inc.
“It’s the cook, not the cooker.” That saying gets tossed out in just about every barbeque conversation. While it might be true, eliminating variables leads to success in competition barbeque. Cookshack has teamed up with my good friend Fast Eddy (Ed Maurin) to offer a line of pits that will give you a leg up on the competition. We cook on two FEC-100 prototypes and contribute much of our success to these smokers. Give them a look.
