I couldn't have picked a better BBQ all star then Ray Lampe, AKA Dr BBQ. Although I have
never met him in person, I feel that I have known him for years through the BBQ Forum.com.
Ray has written 4 books on BBQ which have taught many the secrets of BBQ.
Thanks Ray!

Dr. BBQ grew up in Chicago and after high school spent 25 years in the family trucking business. In 2000 the trucking business had run it’s course, and it was time for Ray to do something different. He had been participating in BBQ cookoffs as a hobby since 1982, so he decided to take a leap and try to turn his hobby into a career. In 2000 Dr. BBQ moved to Lakeland, Florida and began his career as a BBQ man.
