Better than Thanksgiving

[James Lake]

I had the chance to attend the Slap Yo Daddy BBQ class this past weekend and all I can say is WOW. Harry is so knowledgeable and entertaining. He will not only push you to become a better Pit Master but also a better human. The food that was cooked was incredible. We had tuna, several different sausages, chicken, ribs, pork butt and brisket. I was so full I could barely move and Harry was still carving the pork butt and brisket. I would encourage anyone to attend this class if they can, the lunch alone is worth the money! Once in a lifetime experience to eat so much food prepared by a Grand Champion.

I'm missing a few in the picture, but these are the only machines that we used:

Here is Harry trying to repair the bark on the brisket after a couple of people scratched too hard:

Now I know what good ribs taste like

John, he teaches both in the same class. My class had backyard guys like me and there were also some teams there. Honestly John, if you can make it to his class I think you would really enjoy it.

Harry looks like a really fun guy/teacher. I would love to attend one of his bbq classes some day. Looks like you had a blast.

Wonderful James, you were very lucky. Wonder if he ever comes east for a class

I would enjoy the class and the weather looks great too.

Looks like a lot of fun and I can only imagine how much you gained from this experience. I would love to see him come to the Southeast for a class or two!

Looks like a great time. I would be all over it if he did a class in my area.
