His knowledge has reached the same level of insane attention to detail. The direction of the logs, the type of wood.. the mix of green and dried sticks.. the rub, bark.. everything is done with a complete disregard for time/resources consumed, but meticulous, overwhelming attention is paid to the process and end result. The work of a master.

    This is one of the most unique pit master eps I've seen. You never hear about this kind of food, ever.
    It's almost familiar, but has a unique feel as well. Like a story.

    I remember last year at ACL he posted on Instagram asking his fan to get the attention of Chino (The lead singer of Deftones). As the day went on he somehow got to go back stage and serve them his BBQ. Watching the whole thing unfold was so amazing and showed how bbq really brings people together.
