    Man, that photo of Logan and the Meadow Creek Reverse Flow! Fun story, that's a rental from BBQ HQ. Logan used that sucker for a long time before buying his smoker. Jeremy from Mad Scientist BBQ used to cook with that exact rental from BBQ HQ. He even has a few instructional videos using that exact smoker. We've talked to BBQ HQ about renting the Meadow Creek to help with a cook for an event, but the cook fell through.

    I was wondering, if there’s a place that would be willing, could you maybe dive into the business side of things with them a bit more? It seems impossible to me that they make a profit given the cost of goods, labour, etc. Would love some insight into that side of things.
    Keep up the great work! 👍

    Heritage bbq said in your video there that they cold smoked their tri tips, then throw them over fire before service.

    This guy was absolutely ROBBED in that Netflix BBQ Showdown. Those judges are 100% traditionalists which, mind you, isn't necessarily bad. My beef with that show is that BBQ is a cooking methodology and this guy was SO creative with what he made! The other guy was absolutely talented, no doubt, but he stuck to tried and true recipes for American BBQ that I could find in any major city.
