Dear Friend:

     In 2006, I saw the need for a barbecue instruction manual. That's why I wrote Competition BBQ Secrets. It's a great book and is still selling well today. But some of the book readers were still not having success in barbecue competitions. A lot of book readers did go on to win competitions and many more improved their barbecue substantially. But I kept thinking...

"Is there a better way to teach people the fine art of slow smoking barbecue?"

     The answer I came up with is... a series of very detailed videos. Videos delivered instantly via the web. Videos that left out no details. Videos that show exactly how I won 4 grand championships in 2009...

• Hasan Shrine Spring Festival 2009 - Albany, GA (FBA) Some of the best teams in the Nation were there and we took 2nd in chicken, 2nd in brisket, and 1st in pork.
• Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival 2009 - Tryon, NC (KCBS) There were 78 teams present at this KCBS event. We placed 1st in ribs.
• Festival of Discovery 2009 - Greenwood, SC (KCBS) There were 58 teams present at this BBQ contest and we placed 2nd in brisket.
• Pigs & Peaches Festival 2009 - Kennesaw, GA (KCBS). There were 43 teams present and we placed 1st in ribs, 2nd in chicken, 4th in pork, and 3rd in brisket.

     I've been competing in barbecue contests since 2004 and I've seen most of the other barbecue cookbooks and videos. They all leave out the fine details or simply provide a "recipe". How can you provide a half page "recipe" for something that takes all day and 100's of important steps?

Don't take my word for it! Read what some of the first Club Members have to say...

So... You think the price is too high?
You are wrong!
The question should be: Can you afford NOT to join?
Just read what these members say...

Thanks Bill, believe me folks---since I subscribed to this wonderful teaching video forum, I have more than paid for the course 2-3 times in winnings that I can directly credit to Bill and his teaching-A NO BRAINER!!!!!! I can't say I do it exactly like Bill does-but I don't believe we all should be little robots either-we all are unique and being different is what it's all about. But, I can tell you the course is top notch no nonsense sincere info. I cook on American BBQ Systems which are charcoal/wood burners,no pellet stoves-but the techniques/principles taught are transferable to all types of smokers. - Mickey Lindsey - Blind Hog BBQ - 4th overall at Smokin in the Ozarks - 1st chicken & 3rd in brisket

I feel the price for the series is quite reasonable. Sure, I hesitated
at first, but after initially signing up for the monthly videos, and
seeing how informative they were, it's a bargain if you are truly
serious about advancing your skills and compete. I've read
countless books and magazines, scoured the internet and
watched many food network type videos. Some were good
and others not so good. I will say having a seasoned bbq
guru show you 'one-on-one', at your lesiure and in the privacy
of your own home, well, to me it's definitely worth it, and more.

The price is NOT to high, it would take you years and tons of meat to learn what is in these vidios.
Thanks Bill for offering them.

Hi Bill:

For those that feel the prices are too high need to look at what it costs to get an education today anywhere else ... The information is great and I have already improved my food quality for my restaurant 1000%, I no longer serve restaurant ribs. instead I put out a superior product which is kicking my competitors bottom which is great for my bottom line! Keep up the good work and Thanks for the eduction.

Bill,... ...Just the money one will save on meat while trying to "practice" would quickly add up not to mention the entry fees and competition meat and other expenses. The videos you have released so far leave nothing out and you offer a lot of good info that I think a lot of "seasoned competitors" might know but I didn't. Plus you can watch at your own pace and as often as you like. I've read your online book and several others.....your videos are the way to go! Good job and good luck!

     Do yourself a favor and join the Barbecue Coach Club today! A barbecue contest costs over $500 to participate in. What's cheaper?... $29.95 a month or losing $600 contest after contest after contest? The answer is obvious! And for you back yard chefs... you'll soon be cooking barbecue on a level that you did not even know existed. If you are not satisfied with the detailed barbecue videos, you can easily cancel your membership at any time. The Barbecue Coach Club will actually save you money!

     For those of you who are not good at math, let's assume a BBQ contest costs $500 to participate in. Sometimes it is much more, but just to make things easy, we'll say $500 total costs. Let's also assume prize money is as follows:

• $2000 Grand Champion
• $1000 Reserve Champion
• $500 1st place each category
• $400 2nd place each category
• There is other prize money for places past 2nd, but let's keep it simple.

Now... I don't know about ya'll, but I like scenario 4 a whole lot better than scenario 1. And if you watch my videos, you'll have about a 50/50 chance of scenario 4 happening to you and your team!

For competitors, the bottom line is this...

If you DO NOT watch the videos, you will end up spending way more than the cost to join.
If you DO watch the videos and follow them, you will probably win more than the cost to join and then some.
It's really a no brainer... I'm "thrifty" too, but I promise you, the thrifty choice is to join BarbecueCoach.com
