BBQ Greats Talk About Giving Back at the 2019 Firebox Invitational

Hey Everyone, thanks for checking out what I’m calling a bonus episode of the podcast spotlighting The Firebox Initiative Inc. – a charity organization established by Griffin Bufkin and Harrison Sapp of Southern Soul BBQ on Saint Simons Island.

I rode up to the Firebox on Gascoigne Bluff event this past weekend with my buddies Chris Gentry of Gentry’s BBQ and Josh Perry of Double Aught BBQ. The event flyer promised an opportunity to taste amazing offerings from the likes of BBQ Legends including, but not limited to:

• Harrison Sapp of Southern Soul BBQ
• Mike and Amy Mills of 17^th Street BBQ
• Bryan Furman of B’s Cracklin’ Barbeque
• Tuffy Stone of Cool Smoke
• Craig Verhage The BBQ Ninja
• Carey Bringle of Peg Leg Porker
• Anthony DiBernardo of Swig and Swine
• Marty and Melissa Goffin of Red Gum BBQ out of Victoria, Australia
• Tank Jackson of Holy City Hogs

Being the ever-vigilant BBQ Podcast Host, I made sure to have my portable recording mic on hand to capture a few brief interviews with some of these masters of live fire cooking. The recordings are filled with the music and excitement emanating from the packed-out crowd.

I’m sure you’ll agree that the hearts of BBQ and Live Fire cooking people are full of love and appreciation for all the people who keep the food service and hospitality industry going.

Be sure to stay on the lookout for the 2020 Firebox Invitational. Based on what I saw this year, it’s guaranteed to be one special event.
