I hate to hear that. There are a bunch of nice people working there depending on good food to take care of their fams. That's what bothers me most about this whole thing. The spoonbread was my most popular side, but not my proudest. Corn isn't good all year...feel me. Nothing touches those BO sprouts tho #SproutDreams

That's good and all, but I just had the second shite plate of bbq in the past 3 weeks there.

I'll give them one more shot, but they are on the level of Voodoo and I wouldn't have to drive into the projects.

of course its what they do
so does every other BBQ place that actually tries to serve food all day.

this is a gas-assist smoker



they cost 10's of thousands of dollars.
there is a fire box where you load wood, a gas burner, and a convection blower that distributes the smoke. it is found in nearly every volume BBQ restaurant in the country. yes there are exceptions like the old school lockhart places/etc, but this is the industry standard

I didn't see one of those at their booth. But I could be wrong. It was late in the day when I was over there kickin it.

Mr. Pigglesworth had one but they didn't use it for their 1st place winning whole hog.

they had two of them side by side behind the booth
smoke is smoke and time is time
you can burn a forest and tend a fire for 12 hours or you can load that smoker and let it run for 12 hours. you get the same brisket

I know
that's not what I meant

I just think that the fetishization of #STICKBURN is funny (or whatever the hell chef rob was saying) when he's failed at every try he's made at this. You either want to make money serving people food or you want to be a martyr that smells like smoke.
