Tuffy Stone is a contemporary barbecue legend and one of the most decorated competition pitmasters in the country. A classically trained chef turned competition BBQ champion, Stone runs Cool Smoke and has appeared on numerous BBQ television shows.
Stone holds special significance for the Quessenberry legacy: he personally told Michael Quessenberry that he specifically voted for Jim to be inducted into the Barbecue Hall of Fame — a meaningful endorsement from one of the sport's most respected voices.
