Amazing BBQ, Good quality stuff, I Couldn't recommend it more highly. I would give it 2 thumbs up but it takes both hands to eat the Pulled, Not shredded Pork Sandwich :)Great Corn Bread and Bean soup too. Perfect for those long PNW rainy nights.

'Uncle Gil' produces the best BBQ both at the Depot in Everett as well as at competitions. He might even serenade you on his Fender guitar if you are really nice!! hehe
