What kind of smoker does he use, John?  Bet you could beat him in a taste test!

They are a store that push the "Eggs" and some homemade off name mega bucks smokers.


Some might need a trailer hitch for their smokers, but not me so far

That's what I thought!  Certainly nothing wrong with that, and great to see someone creative enough to get people to pay money to hear him "teach" them about smoking butts!  Dang, wish I'd have thought of that!!  I'd gladly put one of mine, or many of our members, butts up against his! 

Funny story - we had a driver appreciation week at my company awhile back.  One of our vendors had a guy who was a competition smoker.  He brought a $10,000 pit out, that he built.  It was absolutely beautiful.  He smoked pork butts, and sat by his pit all night.  When the final product came out, pretty much every single person (20), in my office, said "It was good, but yours is better!"  And, from my taste perspective, they were right!  His was dry and kind of bland.  So, it goes to show that even a $10k smoker doesn't necessarily guarantee the results!  And, that's where we have the advantage!  We get to focus on the prep - rubs, brines, wood selection, etc...  They focus on the process!  Tending a smoker all night for mediocre results?  I'm out.  Sleeping while I produce stellar results?  All in!

Or, let me put it this way:
"Having a pit that turns heads when you pull into the contest grounds, but you have to tend it every minute of the night? ....$10,000.  Having a smoker that produces better BBQ, even while you sleep? ...Priceless! ;D
