The Virginia entry closed at the end of September 2022. I wonder when this slideshow was put together. I clicked on some of the links in the slideshow and some of them have comments going back years.

These lists always crack me up. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and an article on any topic is only as accurate as the one(s) who wrote it, and what impresses them personally or the sources they used. On that note here's my rant about my state's choice...
Michigan's best BBQ is not Blue Tractor in Traverse City. There are several far better places that I can attest to.
Wife & I love Traverse City and regularly go there. We ate at Blue Tractor this past April. Nice atmosphere, large, tons of seating, country saloon-y type vibe, festive, TVs all over, smelled like wood smoke like it should've. Buuut, the only great thing was the wings. The brisket was dry (and I ordered "fatty"), slightly tough, saltless, and cut wrong making it even harder to eat. The drinks were the watered-down overly sweet nonsense you may have seen me complain about in other threads, and it wasn't cheap to boot. This was of course on the heels of the pandemic shutdown bounce-back and many wage workers being tempted with the whole 'getting paid more to stay home and not work' that so many restaurants and other places were suffering from, so I remember we chalked it up to them perhaps doing the best they could with the help they had. Maybe that's what it was. We'd heard great things which is why we went, but it was anything but. I will never go back, too many better options, even in the same city.
The next night we got takeout from another nearby BBQ placed in Traverse City called Spark's BBQ, and it was wonderful. Brisket was perfectly seasoned and fatty and tender & juicy. Will definitely go back there. I've also eaten at Two Scotts BBQ in Grand Rapids and Slow's in Detroit, and Iron Pig in Gaylord. All of them were better. Then there's my backyard, but the pitmaster is a grouchy cuss and drinks on the job. Jury's still out if it's actually any good there or just loosely implied.

Nebraskas entry, while fine BBQ, is out of date and incorrect. Phat Jacks isn’t even the best in town let alone the state. You want the best , in my opinion, in Lincoln you are eating / buying at a gas station!
Norms on 48th Street owns this title in Lincoln. Can’t even begin to speak for the state as I have even heard of them all let alone eaten there.

Weber Smoky Mountain 18” and 22”
DigiQ fan controller (WSM 22” has the attachment)
Nexgrill 6 burner gas grill (replaced original grates with GrillGrate grates)
Masterbuilt gas smoker
Turkey fryer (2)
Maverick ET-732 (2)
There isn’t a ton to choose from so if I ever see a best bbq in AZ that’s not Little Miss BBQ I know they’re probably wrong. They’re correct for AZ at least.
