Who wouldn't want to meet meat expert Lucki Maurer in person? Now's your chance.

Team leader Dirk Freyberger of the Butcher Wolfpack, the current vice world champions of butchers, will be sharing information about dry aging at BBQ DAY. On the show stage, he'll demonstrate how to properly butcher a lamb, and as part of Giuseppe Messina's gourmet grill team, he'll prepare a very special hot dog.

Max Hopp, known to many as Maximiser, will also be at the event. As one of Germany's first darts stars, the international professional darts player is happy to demonstrate his sport. Anyone brave enough to compete against him will have the chance to take home at least the new Napoleon Freestyle Plancha.
