Fourie has been a grate customer for several years and we communicate regularly about his adventures. Fourie recently won the title of Best Griller in New Zealand in a contest sponsored by the NZ Lamb & Beef Council and a local radio station. Fourie ROCKED the contest with stuffed jalapeno burgers that he grilled on GrillGrates! His prize is fantastic! A trip to Memphis in May! Fourie and his wife are coming to America and I know the BBQ community will treat him well!
PS- Fourie has two people on his hope to meet list: Mike Mills and Meathead Goldwyn! The man knows his American BBQ.

Grilling is your passion, that is for sure! How did you become a master griller? |
---|
"My dad use to make drum BBQ's for people when I was still in primary school, as a South African I have always loved to BBQ. BBQ for us is not low and slow we call it a "Braai" with charcoal or hardwood we use to use "Thorn-Bush" to BBQ with. When I came to New Zealand I missed home so much that BBQ became my absolute life line and passion even more. I Buy BBQ's for $1 or more, revamp them cook on them and then sell them for very little again every holiday, therapy I call it. I really started enjoying grilling when I got my grates! Among friends and family and students I am known as the BBQ Guy "JD Hogwild" Hog Wild for BBQ! I have been grilling and BBQ'n for other people for over 30 years now, I have started young bbqen for family!" |
