The Baron Brings His Pitmasters Class to Kansas City, Kansas

Bichelmeyer meats hosted another Pitmasters class in Kansas City, Kansas last Saturday. The Midwest was well represented by eager participants from Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, and Wyoming. I really enjoyed this group of participants. They were both high spirited and inquiring. Thank you all for making the class exciting for me!
