BBQ Legend Tuffy Stone Heats Up Maldon's Smoke and Fire Festival
We're thrilled to announce that the highly regarded Tuffy Stone, often referred to as the "Professor," will be gracing this year's Smoke and Fire Festival in Maldon. Tuffy is celebrated for his meticulous precision and deep understanding of the art of smoking, which have made him one of the most influential figures in the world of barbecue today.
Tuffy Stone's expertise is derived from his extensive travels across the United States and the globe, participating in competitive barbecuing, and serving as a special guest at some of the world's most renowned barbecue events.
With a string of impressive titles under his belt, Tuffy has left an indelible mark on the competitive barbecue landscape. His accomplishments include claiming the Grand Champion title at nearly every major barbecue competition. This includes back-to-back victories at the American Royal World Series of Barbecue, triumph at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, and winning the prestigious Kingsford Invitational.
Tuffy's accomplishments also extend to the Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational, where he made history as the only contestant to ever clinch the title three times.
Beyond his remarkable success on the competition circuit, Tuffy has also made significant contributions to the barbecue community. He lent his expertise as a judge on Destination America's Barbecue Pitmasters for five seasons. He's also shared his deep knowledge of barbecue artistry in his book, "CoolSmoke: The Art of Great Barbecue". Moreover, in recognition of his immense contributions and expertise, Tuffy has been rightfully inducted into the Barbecue Hall of Fame.
This year, festival-goers will have the rare opportunity to learn from the master himself. Tuffy will be hosting a series of masterclasses on our FEAST FROM THE FIRE STAGE or join us for PIT CHAT where Tuffy will share his wealth of knowledge and the top secrets behind his success in becoming a six-time World BBQ Champion and what it takes to win
This exceptional experience promises to elevate your barbecue skills and leave you inspired and enriched. Don't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to learn from one of the best in the business!
