Dana Hillis

Pitmaster Big Papas Country Kitchen lighthousepointe@hotmail.com We started bbqing as professionals back in 2007 which seems like yesterday. We have done a lot of traveling, met a lot of great folks and have truly enjoyed this path we took when we started our first contest at Sebring. We met some great folks that have meant a lot to us over the years and the bbq family keeps getting bigger. Some of the old school folks are still hanging around. One of the first teams we met was the Smokin Cracker Bbq team and these folks were really good back then and still are a favorite to win any time they show up. Swamp Boys had been cooking for quite a while and has won all over the united states and made a name for themselveswith a good showing on the t.v. show pitmasters. Big Daddy Q was one of the coolest characters I have ever met and after dropping off the bbq scene for a bit he is making a comeback. He recently had some good calls and ended up third overall and will be on top again soon. Two of my favorite people in the whole world and my very good friends today were at my first contest and showed me way back then what great people these bbq folks are. Tony and Rick Wolfe (Wolfe Brothers Bbq) knew I was a rookie and took me in their trailer and were such a big help to me and they showed me what decent folks really are. Tony has been the president of the FBA the last 2 years and when I was president he was vice president and he has put his heart and soul into making our organizationas great as it is.

Everyone needs to shake his hand and say thanks for all he has done. His lovely wife Wendy has been awesome supporting him and being an awesome rep. I met some guys with the coolest name in bbq - Kick the Tire Light the Fire - Mad Dawg, Mike Byrd, Darryl, June Bug and I loved this whole bunch. I would show up at a contest, Mike would guide me into my spot hand me a cold budweiser and always had a smile on his face. Mad Dawg was the chicken king and was a true character. Both these guys were my good friends and both battled cancer and lost hard ﬁghts and I miss them. Keith Hall worked with my daughter at Blue Cross and was truly a funny guy and we had a lot of laughs at contests. Keith was getting ready to go to the mideast but passed away suddenly and was a shock to us all to losesuch a character. We have lost quite a few members of our bbq family. Big Jim Whitten from big jims LazyQ passed away a short time ago and all that knew him will miss him badly. Another true bbq character that Janet was close to. Others we have lost that are missed- Betty Hightower, she was in on some of my pranks and never gave me up. I made a great friend during my time in Daytona Mr. Martin Bergeron who became addicted to competition bbq in a hurry. He brought some friends to Perry and his energy and fun loving personality was special. It rained a lot and he brought umbrellas for everyone, they drove everyone to turn ins in a brand new car that got trashed with mud and he kept us all in Captain Morgan cocktails to keep us warm. Martin was only 38 years old and had a massive heartattack running on a treadmill. Very few got to know him but us that did knew he was special. This time of year makes me think of some of these folks that were at Perry that are no longer with us. Sam and Diane Grogan with Just Fer Fun bbq were truly two of the nicest people I ever met. Both were school teachers and loved cooking on green eggs and Sam made awesome boiled peanuts. I delivered peanuts all over

to people he would send them to. Miss Diane lost a hard fought battle to cancer and Sam could not live without her. Sam went to his ﬁrst contest not long after she passed away and like a true hollywood love story my good friend Sam passed away sitting in his chair at the contest. We have been truly blessed with the friendships we have made in this bbq life. I could go on and on about the great people we meet but everyone knows what I am talking about. Damon and Pops Wooley have been great friends since the day we met. We stay in Wooleyville often and watching Dawson and Jake grow up has been fun. Gordon from GBs bbq has been a good friend and has raised his grandson Robert from a young boy to a young man and that kid has grown a lot! Kenny and Melissa have raised a little girl we have all watched grow from a little girl to a beautiful young lady - We are all amazed at how we have watched Ashley grow up. When my son Cadin was 10 he met Josh from Budmeisters and neither one of them have stopped growing. Both these young boys have become tall young men and we are all proud of them. Nick and Jeremy Brod have grown so fast - Nick has graduated and joined the armed forces and I am proud of these 2 guys. I saw Carly McCoin last week and she has become a star athlete and it has been fun watching her grow up. We see the Hardin boys everyweek so they are like seeing your own kids -you dont realize how fast they have grown. Garrett Elser is one of my favorite people in the world and we love to go to buffets! Ben Purvis and his wife Shannon have 2 of my favorite kids ever, little Ben and Cyndl, and it was fun watching them go up on stage at Lake Wales last week. They won a well deserved reserve grand and watching those two kids will warm your heart. Well Perry is next and then the Christmas break. Safe travels to everyone and happy holidays to all. See yall soon.

THE BBQ TIMES

Looking forward into 2015

Jeff Petkevicius Pitmaster Give it to God yokedup@gmail.com

It’s that time of year again. The time when all of our pits, trailers and RV’s get winterized and take a nap until spring when it all breaks loose again in the Pro BBQ community. This is a time of reﬂection, and focus on Jesus. A time to pause and remember the year we just had. For me, it was a life-time of memories. This year included 32 competitions reaching from Delaware and D.C., to San Diego, Green Bay, Billings MT, Dallas, Tampa and of course, Kansas City and many other cites along the way. Through it all, I racked up over 43,000 miles on my new Ford F250 and went through 2 sets of trailer tires and a new axel. All in All, I wouldn’t have

changed a thing and I look forward to another year where I can do this again. If you have been to a contest where we hold cook’s church, or you keep up with me on a daily basis on Facebook and Twitter, you’ll know that my emphasis is for all of us to get into God’s word everyday. Reading the bible allows God to reveal His character, His Love, and His desire for our lives with Him. Jesus never goes out of style and the Bible is the greatest book ever written. In it, you learn about Jesus Christ, God in the ﬂesh. Jesus is still a head-liner in our society during this season as much as satan wants our focus off of Him and onto sin and “stuff”. As for me, this new year brings more opportunities to serve Jesus...how, when, what and where are up to Him. I’ll keep close to God everyday and stay encouraged and energized by His love for all of us. These words, and many more, directly from God, give me hope, keep me calm, and keep me focused on what really matters.... All Year LONG! 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and

Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” [Rom 10:9-15 NKJV] 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what [is] that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. ... 9 [Let] love [be] without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 [Be] kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving

the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but [rather] give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of ﬁre on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

THE BBQ TIMES

A Smokin’ Good Breakfast

Brandt Haney

Pitmaster Backyard BBQ Studs The best meal of the day is hands down, no doubt about it, breakfast. There is something about breakfast that is just comforting. Whether it is pancakes, waffles, or eggs, I can find satisfaction with a breakfast meal morning, noon or night. I am not sure when this love affair began but I have my suspicions. I grew up never being in very close proximity to my relatives. Every year, usually around the holidays, we would make the five to eight hour trek to see our grand-

parent, aunts and uncles in North Carolina. Over the course of the visit my dad and I would venture out to one of our favorite local (at the time) food stops Bojangle’s where we would get a nice country ham biscuit and my personal favorite, sausage gravy biscuits. Now that might not seem like a big deal but in the small towns I grew up in there was usually a McDonald’s and maybe one other national chain restaurant, which served the obligatory rubber pancakes and the normal biscuit fare. It could have been the food that I remember was so great, but the older I get and the more I am able to reﬂect on my memories, I have come to understand that it was sharing time one on one with my dad that probably enhanced the ﬂavor of the breakfast foods I ate. Years down the road of life I was given a great gift from my wife, a ticket to attend a BBQ class near our home. This class put me on the road to where I am today in my BBQ life, but that is another story. One of the things we cooked during that class was sausage gravy and biscuits. A fantastic look into how to make one of my favorite dishes. I was excited to put my new skills to the test but time after time I have failed at making this one dish. Sure I could do eggs any way you want. Homemade biscuits are a piece

of cake. Pancakes from scratch, would you like fruit inside or on the side with custom syrup? But that dad-gum gravy has always been a butt kicker. Lumpy, watery, thick enough to mud drywall with it, any way you could screw it up I have managed to do plus some ways that NASA is still trying to ﬁgure out. I sort of resigned myself to knowing if ever I wanted that breakfast from my youth I would have to visit a local restaurant. Then, a while back, I was having a casual dinner with some friends and talking about all the different things we had tried smoking when the conversation migrated to breakfast and how yummy smoked bacon and breakfast sausage c o u l d be with breakfast. That is when I had this

DECEMBER 2014 idea of how incredible it would be if my favorite sausage gravy biscuits was made with smoked sausage. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh...oh...my...gosh! Well now this was one of those ideas that I could not let go and no matter how many times I had failed before there was no way I was going to stop until I conquered the lumpy, watery, overcooked gravy that had become my morning nemesis. So with new found resolve I went to the internet to read up on exactly how other recipes called for making the gravy when I came across one that seemed to make the most sense. Normally I would try to make a rue and then break that down over time with low heat and milk. I know I will never

be a chef because the process of making a rue and I just do not agree. This new recipe I found required patients and a little faith but no rue was involved. The following Saturday morning out came the cast iron pan, rolling pin, and all the instruments required to begin my final assault on conquering this task that had plagued me for so long. I fired up the smoker, sliced the sausage and began a light thirty to forty minute smoke until the sausage was just under cooked. With the homemade biscuits in the oven I finished the sausage off in the skillet, added the flour a little at a time until completely absorbed by the sausage. Then I simply began adding milk, over medium low heat, one cup at a time until a nice thick gravy had formed. I added some seasoned salt and pepper and what do you know, victory at last. After buttering the biscuits I scooped a heaping spoonful of this amazingly smoky gravy over the top and marveled at my new found accomplishment. Truth

fantastic venue for a BBQ contest. Robby Royal of Rescue Smokers took the Grand Championship in the first time event with Just Blowing Smoke taking the Reserve Championship. The GBA sanctioned the long time BBQ competition at the Deep Roost Festival for the first time and the GBA had to go to the tiebreaker for the Grand Championship. Bubba Grills, with Lonnie Smith as pitmaster, prevailed over LawDawg BBQ. Just Blowing Smoke continued their strong run with a second straight Reserve Championship. It came down to the tiebreaker again at Hawkinsville and this time LawDawg BBQ got the nod over 92 BBQ/Assassin Smokers who took home the Reserve Championship. In the Team of the Year Standings, 92 BBQ/Assassin Smokers has built a 71 point lead over LawDawg BBQ. Bubba Grills in in third place and Just Blowing Smoke is in fourth.
