When did true BBQ come to life

[bbqLuv]

True Smoking/BBQ came to life in 1985.
Here is the proof: Starting date for Traeger grill - Search (bing.com)
Any questions?

Okay, just gonna say I started learning before that date on an offset smoker that was run by an in-law. Our gauge (pre-digital) on when the briskets were done was when he fell of his chair and passed out.

Someone’s been into the PBR early…..

I remember 50 plus years ago my old neighbor next door would use the old style round top refrigerators and build smokers out of them! Ok so now Traeger may started their grills up than that would have to be all there is to that. Please have some more PBRs and wake up!

That's how we used to smoke salmon and steelhead. Used a hot plate and an old cast iron pan then fed small pieces of oak.
