A good friend of mine took Mikes class this last spring. He has a BBQ place in central IL. He said the class is worth much more than the cost, totally opened his eyes. I dont have his e-mail address handy but if you go to his website his contact info is there. He loves to talk about his time at the class. Shoot him an e-mail.
His website is
www.mainstreetbbq.biz and his name is Todd Peterson.
