Please welcome fracmeister to the hot seat on this week's PitCast! Houston livin', brisket cookin' and a petroleum engineer to boot! Before get to the interview, I hit the news desk and tell you a story about how people love to eat meat...but also agree that there should be a ban on slaughter houses...because THAT makes sense!!

(and smokes on a Yoder 640, raises bees and shoots a .408 WIndrunner) "come la notte i furti miei seconda"
I mentioned in the interview that I learned the blowtorch deal from a St Louis rib joint. The name is Bogart's BBQ and it was great. I wasnt a fan of their beans but the rest was great

Great interview!
Opera? I have never been to one, but I would love to check one out someday. How popular is it in the state of Texas?
I will second you on the trip to Lockhart, TX. I love that place. It is like a BBQ oasis in Texas Hill Country. Black's was probably my favorite place.
I still use the, "I cooked, You clean!" trick myself. I especially love this one on the holidays.
Ranch Kettle? That thing is an absolute beast!!! Great for entertaining. We used to use one of those up at camp to rip burgers and hotdogs. I have great memories using that sucker. How does it run when you are using it for low and slow?
I remember seeing a post where you were talking about using that blow torch to sear your ribs. Next time you have that baby out, make sure to get the camera out. I was always afraid that my food would take up the gas flavor. Although, I remember you saying you have never had that problem.
As for the first national bank, I am with you. I want a Kalamazoo too!! (Don't we all) The craftsmanship is gorgeous. So much stainless that I don't know what I would do. I am torn between that Kalamazoo and the Grill Works set up. Although I do need YS640 comp cart, at some point.
This was a great interview! Thank you for taking the time!
