Overall, BBQ in California is horrible. I am not surprised that they don't get it. They never will. More for us!

It’s not quite barbecue, but I consistently have spectacular meals using Snake River Farms Wagyu tri-tip.  Cook it in a sous vide with herbs and butter, then sear it on the grill.  Literally amazing every time.

Do any of you guys do your own barbequing? Reminds me of when I was in Athens, Georgia back in the day as a recent high school graduate and some guy asked me the most one should pay for companionship. I said zero.

Years ago BBQ Outfitters had a Green Egg Day, where they brought out new Green Eggs and had chefs in to grill up a specialty, everything from appetizers to desserts. Held the event at a restaurant I was bartending at for the day. Had chefs coming up to thee bar for drinks and they discovered I hadn't had time to get out and taste anything. They started to bring in samples of some of the best BBQ and grilled dishes I ever had.

I've been using a pellet smoker successfully for many years. For brisket, I use the Franklin method and for pork ribs, the 3-2-1 method is hard to beat. If you like extra bark, add a smoke tube and you'll be all set.

Agreed.  My stick burner is the go-to in my arsenal if I'm not needing to sear something..  

Have been using the Thermoworks RFX with great success since they released them last summer/fall.

I was planning to give my stick burner its annual cleaning/reseasoning this weekend, but the rain has changed my plans.  Maybe next weekend we'll get her all spic & span again and start building up next year's mess on a butt or something.
