I am just going to say it! I LOVE BBQ! Without a doubt there is lots more that feel exactly the same. A few weeks back we saw over 500 different BBQ and grilling gurus ascend on Ft. Worth, Texas when fuel was the highest price per gallon ever in our nation’s his- tory.

Now that’s proof that not only love for BBQ exists but the love of getting together with the #BBQfamily ex- ists as well. Meat prices are soaring, stores having trouble keeping help employed, product is tougher than ever to get to stores, and things are just tough all over but today there are more people firing up the grill or pit then ever before. Why? Because they LOVE BBQ too.
NBBQA has put together an annual conference in just over 90 days where they usually work upwards of 9 months to make an event like this happen. How was that possible? Because their board members LOVE BBQ!
Just a short time ago the entire world almost shut down due to a pandemic and what happened? The #BBQfamily started growing like crazy by spreading their BBQ LOVE virtually so others could learn the art of live fire grilling and barbecue. Today we are seeing lots of these newcomers become contestants, stu- dents, and business partners because they LOVE BBQ!
Do you LOVE BBQ too? If so we invite you share your passion around with your family and friends...or maybe get your own bumper sticker and let pure strangers know that you LOVE BBQ!
Stickers now available at www.NBBQA.org
Until Next Month...Keep It Smokin'
