Dear BBQ family from all over the world, supporters, teams and visitors. This one is a very special announcement.🤠
Slovenian BBQ Association and organization team of the Wild West Fest on Fire 2026 proudly presents a very special BBQ Masterclass. We are honoured to welcome the legendary pitmaster Wayne Mueller. The man carrying one of the most iconic Texas BBQ legacies on the planet.
Straight from the legendary Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, Texas, open since 1949 and considered true Texas BBQ royalty, Wayne Mueller brings authentic Central Texas barbecue to Wild West Fest 2026 with an original Louie Mueller BBQ Masterclass and the spirit of old-school Texas smokehouse cooking.
Since 1949, the Mueller family has been writing one of the most legendary stories in Texas BBQ history. This is not just a barbecue joint but a true temple of smoke, meat and tradition. Generations of the Mueller family dedicated their lives to preserving authentic Central Texas barbecue, building a legacy respected by pitmasters all over the world.
At Louie Mueller Barbecue, BBQ is still done the hard way — slow-fired pits, post oak smoke, salt, pepper and patience. No compromises. No shortcuts. Just honest Texas barbecue with soul, character and decades of experience behind every brisket and every legendary beef rib.
Wayne Mueller carries that fire forward with the same old-school spirit that made the Mueller name iconic in the BBQ world. You can feel it in the smoke, taste it in the bark and see it in the walls blackened by generations of fire.🔥
This is real Texas BBQ heritage. Raw, authentic and timeless. Get ready as this masterclass is not to be missed. Registrations will open soon.
Yours truly the Los Organizeros🫶
