Just a quick post to share the awesome BBQ Smoker Site banner photo I received from Jason Whitcomb of the famed (infamous) Team Unknown BBQ out of Winter Haven, FL. They’re set up and are at this very moment rockin’ out the solid ‘cue at the Naples, FL Rotary Ziggy Dick’s BBQ event.
These guys are amazing… and as any one who knows the Team Unknown guys will attest, they always greet you with a “how the hell are you” and an ice old beer. It’s been and continues to be a real damn pleasure supporting them. Good luck to them today at the Ziggy Dick’s BBQ event!
If you have a favorite Team Unknown story… or just want to make one up – post a comment below! I’m sure we can get a real “bitches brew” up and running here if we really try!
