Today I honor Mike Mather "BBQ Bull"

[bbqwizard]

I realize this may move to another section......

One year ago today we lost a great brother and a best friend. Bull and I met through bbq and like with many he came accross, we became close friends. He was my best friend.

Over the past year, I have been trying to find one of his smokers. Last week, God lead me to one of them. Thanks to another brethren, it now sits on my bbq patio. The whole story is quite something, and one I plan to write about. In the meantime, let's celebrate Mike today and light up our smokers for him.

I am having a plaque made that will be mounted above where (Ferdinand "the bull") sits, to commemorate his legacy.

I miss you my friend. I miss you terribly.

I can only imagine that Mike is smiling knowing his friend and Brethren is cooking on one of his cookers.

I hope so. Now, everytime I feel the urge to chat with him, I can light up his cooker and think.

I solidly know him, but your post makes me wish I had...

Many happy meals to you from his cooker...

 

[Happy Hapgood]

You are a good Friend and do him a Great Honor Sir.

That looks incredibly classy, Phil.

I know that Bull will continue to be a part of your future cooks.
