Pit Masters Jeremy Schroder Pit Crew Lindsay Barschaw "We Pull Pork Naked" Our slogan, "We pull pork naked" was concepted while dining at a local Mexican restuarant in Kenmore, WA. We were sitting in the bar drinking our favorite beer and talking about the upcoming BBQ season. We noticed the bartender's t-shirt, it said "I drink naked". After a few more minutes of talking BBQ and beer, the slogan just popped out, "I pull pork naked!". Swap, the "I" for "We" and it's all history. "We Pull Pork Naked" was born. The Beerbque Name Jeremy and Ryan knew they wanted to start a competition BBQ team, the only thing they were missing was a name. Just like our slogan, the name Beerbque was thought of while drinking beer and talking about BBQ. We love beer, we love barbeque. Put them together "beer barbeque", drop the "barbe", and "Beerbque" was born. Our Smokers We use the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker during all our competitions. The Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker (Weber Bullet or WSM for short) is a specialty grill made by the Weber-Stephen Products Company. It is specifically designed to produce barbecued meats cooked "low and slow" over charcoal and smoke wood. You can find more information about the smoker we use at the Virtual Weber Bullet site.
Team Beerbque is a proud member of the PNWBA. The Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association is a recognized affiliate of the world famous Kansas City BBQ Society.
