The first Dizzy Fest of 2017 was a hit. Held at Dizzy Pig’s new manufacturing and retail facility, it had the usual wide selection of teams cooking a variety of specialty BBQ on Big Green Eggs.

As usual the event was sold out and food went fast. But with cookers preparing several dishes there was plenty for everyone making the rounds.

I started the day with an amazing Pancake in a Cone with Maple Cream and Bacon prepared by the always innovative Western Maryland Cookers.

New this year at Dizzy Pig is the Gateway Drum Smoker. It does a great job smoking is less time than a Big Green Egg.
