Northern team wins southern BBQ competition

For the seventh year, a team from this region, who call themselves iQue, competed at the Jack Daniels Barbecue competition in Lynchburg, Tenn. This year they won! Led by pit master Chris Hart of Hopkinton (above, second from left), iQue, who cooked on a custom-built Jambo Pit, was sponsored by Harpoon Brewery and Wicked Good Charcoal.
On Nov. 15, iQue is working with Harpoon to host Harpoon Helps Pre-Thanksgiving Beer-B-Q, an event that costs $60, which buys five turkeys for the Greater Boston Food Bank.
Attend the event, and you get to donate to the Food Bank and feast on this:
