He thought science and smart engineering could turn the art of barbecue from something that skilled practitioners do with secretive, homespun rigs to something more accessible. So for his engineering design class back in the confines of Harvard Yard, he assigned a team of novices one of the toughest problems in the field: build a foolproof smoker that can repeatedly produce the perfect brisket, to be judged on texture, taste, and appearance.

It's basically an BGE with an hourglass shape and a temp controller. What's the big deal?

I am sure the price point would be the same as BGE or Primo.

Brisket =/= Pork therefore Brisket =/= BBQ.

Go home Harvard.

Williams Sonoma will charge an arm and a leg for this.

W/S plus the Harvard brand...it will cost $10K.
Agree that it's only a slight modification of a kamado. Not exactly revolutionary; plenty of people use a monitored temp that wirelessly connects to a cell phone. I read the article, did I miss some finer point?

I find that most egg heads can't cook worth a shite.

You can stand around that overgrown hot water heater while it burns your chicken. Talk about Big Bang Theory, Planetary Eclipses, and how boiling crawfish is next..
