Tuffy Stone - Bbq Pitmaster And Member Of Cool Smoke
Tuffy Stone isn't what you would call your average joe when it comes to cooking barbecue. Infact, to his name he has a lengthy background in French cuisine, alongside a prize winnings pot of over $120,000 dollars since he began his career competing in BBQ events throughout the USA since 2005.
Unconventional in many ways, Tuffy Stone relies heavily on a methodical and practical approach to barbecue, utilizing computer spreadsheets to help plan the delivery of his award winning entries which has earned him the nickname "The Professor".
Life has been kind to Tuffy as he has worked his way around BBQ events over the last 4 years, winning the Kansas City Barbecue Society Team of the Year in 2007 and the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival grand championship in 2008 among many others.
Every BBQ competitor has their own favorite pits, smokers and grills to use and Tuffy Stone is no exception. His personal favorite is a Jamie Geer built offset Jambo Pit which Tuffy affectionately refers to as the "Grillvette".
On top of his current television appearance in TLC's BBQ Pitmasters, Tuffy also has designs on running his own BBQ restaurant with a tentative launch date of March 2010 based at the Hampton Virginia Peninsula Town Centre, called "Q".
Tuffy also runs his own catering business called "A Sharper Palette", and it seems safe to say that his future success is assured.
The video below, shows BBQ Pitmaster, Tuffy Stone of the Cool Smoke BBQ team get "ribbed" by Lee Ann Whippen, who called Tuffy a "BBQ nerd" for using spreadsheets to plan his recipes!
Tuffy Stone's Secret Barbecue Tip
When it comes to barbecue secrets, Tuffy is quick to offer advice, "The secret is that too many people over smoke their BBQ. You can prevent this by running a clean fire and by wrapping your meat with aluminum foil after your meat has nice color. Then finish cooking until done. This will prevent over smoking."
Tuffy Stone's BBQ Grilling Tips
1. Use a quality charcoal for your heat source when cooking and remember that lump charcoal burns hotter than briquettes.
2. Make sure that your grill/pit is clean before cooking. Clean grate with wire brush and clean out ash from the bottom of your grill.
3. Start charcoal with a chimney and newspaper, instead of lighter fluid.
4. Make sure your grate is very hot, before placing meat on the grill. This will help prevent meat from sticking.
5. Season steaks, hamburgers, poultry, or fish approximately 15-30 minutes before grilling. This will allow for the seasoning to be absorbed into the meat.
6. Allow cooked meats to rest for approximately 3-5 minutes before serving. This will allow juice to stay in the meat, after they are cut.
Tuffy Stone is a colorful character with a keen business mind and a broad knowledge of BBQ, it is no surprise that he is holding his own very well in TLC's BBQ Pitmasters, among the likes of Myron Mixon, Lee Ann Whippen, Paul Petersen, Jamie Geer, Harry Soo and Johnny Trigg who are all competing the $40,000 prize.
