While the cookers worked their magic we got to watch as the event came together for it’s start time later that evening.
They were expecting between 800 and 1000 people to attend the event. So lots of room to serve the pulled pork and to serve the beer. On a side note if you get the opportunity to cook at a brewery especially if you like beer just remember to pace yourself, trust me with all the great beers on tap it was not easy. When the time came to wrap the pork we had an assembly line ready to help. Those of us running the cookers ran the meat while the Dog Star volunteers wrapped the meat and loaded it up to be put back on the cookers. We were able to get all of the butts wrapped and back on in about 20 minutes.
As people started to arrive they loved seeing the big smokers cooking away and sending great smells into the air. We had a lot of people asking questions and wanting to check out the cookers. It was great to share with the public our love of BBQ. Soon it was time to start getting the butts off and over to the the pulling table. 4 stations of volunteers stood ready to shred the pork as we brought it over.
By this time the band was rockin, the beer was flowing and everyone was having a great time. This is what the BBQ family is about helping each other out. It doesn’t matter if it’s a competition or at an event like this we are here to help each other and share our passion for BBQ.
We had an absolute blast getting to help our friends at Dog Star and getting to cook with our friends at team Hog Tied. We are already looking forward to next year. So remember love your BBQ family and till next month #cowboyup and #keepsmokin
