North Carolina Butt Blast 2 (aka Burning Loin)!



Welcome to the "official" website for the North Carolina Butt Blast!  This event will be the second gathering of Eggheads and people who like good barbecue from North Carolina and the surrounding areas.  Similar to Big Green Egg festivals, we will have a lot of people cooking on Big Green Eggs and offering up all kinds of barbecue.  We will also have some live entertainment at the Blast.  

The event is being organized by members of the Big Green Egg forum, namely JohnInCarolina (John), TarHeelMatt (Matt), and Piney (Gary). 

The event will be held on Saturday, April 22, from 10AM-3PM in Dan Nicholas Park.  We have reserved Shelter Number 2 (pictured above) in the Park for the Event.  The park is very family friendly and there are many activities for families with children. 

The event is free and open to the public, but we are asking everyone to register so that we can get a good head count and coordinate activities.  Tasters, cooks, and people bringing Eggs are asked to register for the event at this page.  Please register for the event as soon as possible to help us with planning the event.  

More information about the park is provided on this page.
