Of Meat and Men: The Story of Two Pitmasters (2012)

Really cool to read about Aaron's start. I've just started smoking meat this year and it's a fun hobby. How many other hobbies do you get to eat when you're done!

I'm still trying to get a consistent cook, but I've already found a couple of variables to control for. And I've had one cookout where a couple of people told me they thought it was restaurant quality.

A friend owns a restaurant and said if the laws here weren't overly strict on buyint outside pre-cooked product he would buy from me to sell in his restaurant.

Big Central TX BBQ fan here.

For those in Texas, it's not very well known but the family running Kreuz Market (mentioned in the article) opened a new location recently, in Bryan TX, 90mn North west of Houston.

And for the readers in the Seattle area, I recommend Jack's BBQ on Airport Way S. It's owned and operated by a Texan native (former Microsoft employee* ). Their brisket isn't bad!

* for the overlap between tech and BBQ :)
