The Pickled Pig
Though we may occasionally act contrary in manner, we are not always pigs. The Pickled Pig is a competition BBQ team that hales from Overland Park, Kansas.
We enjoy the thrill of the hunt, a swill of good beer, fine whisky or rum and slow-smoked BBQ. Our over-indulgent tendencies may appear to be "Pig-like" but we tend to think that the only good pig is either smoked or Pickled! Given our choices in the matter, we choose the latter.
We operate this site primarily to promote one of our favorite passions, good BBQ. We also want to promote our BBQ team, share team information with our friends and supporters, and interact with fellow BBQ enthusiasts.
Whether you're a fellow competitor, certified judge, BBQ novice, fan of The Pig, or just plain love to eat BBQ, we want you to feel welcome here and encourage your participation. We're not good enough to be secretive so we'll gladly share everything we know and hope you'll do the same for the good of the sport. Make sure and check out our Online Community forums.

John Willingham's World Champion Bar-B-q by John Willingham
|
|
|
Willingham, who competes in contests nationwide, moves in a subculture where serious barbecuers guard their recipes like the most valuable of trade secrets. He defines barbecue, in contrast to grilling or roasting, as cooking meat at 250 degrees or lower for a long time with indirect heat. He encourages 'cuers to build their own cookers and to use wood fuel rather than charcoal. No gas, please.
Recipes (more than 150) kick off with starters and breads (using mostly indoor methods) and reach a section called Slow-Cooked Heaven - Real Barbecue, which contains Willingham's World-Champion Ribs: beef, pork or lamb rib slabs marinated and massaged with a dry rub, refrigerated for 12 hours and cooked at 250 degrees for up to five hours.
