Startin the Fire is a first. It is a complete ‘how to’ book covering starting your own competition BBQ team, primarily in the KCBS series, although the process and principles explained can be applied to any competition cooking team in any series. It includes details for everything from your initial idea and preliminary considerations to what equipment you’ll need, setting- up your site and even selecting your team name. George also touches on what tunes to put on your I- pod, practice cooks, site safety, turn in box preparation, right through cooking your first event. Everything is included except for recipes and cooking methods. We are assuming you already know how to cook some good tasting BBQ. Included however, are ideas and tips to improve your overall contest results. There is even a glossary included so that you too can learn to “talk que”. The book also contains humorous stories and anecdotes covering the trials and tribulations of forming a new team and cooking as a rookie squad on the KCBS BBQ circuit.
