Thank You
From Don Moody and the rest of the Tippah Bottom Hog Rustlers to Pit-master Pat Burke, Heath has fired up the grill along side some of the greatest minds in BBQ. However, Heath gives the most credit to his wife, Candace, who has supported him through a career challenged with countless miles of travel and work days where sleep is only a luxury.
