Really looking forward to the finished product. Fantastic so far, I don't compete but I try to follow. Kind of like a sports fan. Thanks for the teaser.

[BurninTree BBQ]

I saw quite a few familiar faces. In fact I remember when you did that Paul Kirk interview at Go Naked. Too bad you didn't get video (or better yet audio of me yelling) as my trailer rolled downhill that morning. Something about the need to move us four feet, a forklift and not putting the chocks back behind the wheels......

[Teamfour]

Amazing! I can't wait.

[ClayHill]

kind of off topic....what camera was/is being used? shots look great!

[Swamp Donkeyz BBQ]

Definitely going to check it out!

[Bourbon Barrel BBQ]

kind of off topic....what camera was/is being used? shots look great!

DSLR of some sort.

[Zombie Barbecue]

Glad you like it. Since the latest seasons of a tv show on bbq that will not be named has turned into a generic beauty pageant/game show, we are excited to show the true spirit of what its like to compete and get some competitors faces out there. The cameras we have are a panasonic hpx-170, canon 5d and canon c300. Absolutely love the close ups of the food and I can't go an hour editing the footage without having to eat something, honestly. We'll keep you posted. I think we'll be in Harrisburg, PA next. Wish we could travel the country and showcase all parts but it's not in the budget this year. We'll Keep at it and see ya on the road.

[Perfect Rack BBQ]

Looks great...cant wait to see it

[rookiedad]

it really is shot beautifully! the angles draw you right in. when that guy said "thrives", i got the chills!

[EZQ2]

Awesome, can't wait to watch!

[chickenchoker]

looks awesome, production is spot on. kudos my man

[Lakeside Smoker]

Yeah, that looks awesome! Great job.

[bmonkman]

What a great trailer!! I am really looking forward to the finished product. Kind of like smokin brisket. Anticipation......

[bmonkman]

@Lakeside Smoker - kudos on your taste in beer. :thumb:

[Smokin' Bad Habit]

DUDE......RIGHT ON TARGET!....just what we have been looking for!

[gcbbqboy]

Awesome Cant wait to see the finished product, great music track so far

[Wrench_H]

Looks really cool, nice work.

[Fornia]

Awesome stuff! Makes me wanna pack up and head to a comp!

If I'm correct, looks like some of the footage was from Green Lane this year? Thought I remember seeing a camera there roving around.

Looking forward to seeing you guys in Harrisburg!

[Bourbon Barrel BBQ]

The cameras we have are a panasonic hpx-170, canon 5d and canon c300.

I can see the 5D being a decent B cam for the C300 but that 170 has to be a pain to intercut with the other two. Very different look.

[dreed]

Great depiction of what competition BBQ is really about. Refreshingly different and honest compared to what's on TV.
best of luck with the remaining shoots.

[HarleyGirl14226]

Very cool - can't wait to see the finished product!

[The_Kapn]

Very, very professional!!!!

Waiting on the final product.

TIM

[bdadams84]

Lookin' good! Can't wait for the finished product.

[82's BBQ]

I am little disappointed. The video got me all excited and actually almost paused it to go to the bathroom before I got too in depth in it, but then it ended and I remembered it was only a trailer. Dang I can't wait for this to actually come out. I am looking forward to having to pause the full movie.

[Dustaway]

really good hope you get picked up

[Smokin' Gnome BBQ]

cool, cant wait to see the full production!

[BBQ Church]

looks great

[Hershey BBQ Guy]

Hey guys... trailer looks great! Are you guys from around Bethlehem PA? I think we met at the Salisbury comp this year... saw some footage from that event in the trailer... (Christmas City)

Great to hear you are coming over to the Harrisburg Keystone Classic event! I am on the planning commitee as is Mr. Gnome above. Let us know how we can help or if you need anything while shooting.... We will be having our Friday night ancillary catagories again this year... as well as the 4 meat KCBS event on Saturday.

Looking forward to viewing the finished product!

[TheJackal]

Looks Great! Can't wait for the final cut.

You got the ugly half of our team in your trailer but it was only for a sec. :wacko:

Must come with an 'R' rating with clips of Tom playing with his banana. :shock:

[Shiz-Nit]

Dude that looks GREAT!!! the music makes me want to fire up the smokers!!!

[bigdogphin]

"@#$! When is my next contest. Can't wait."

I dont know how many times I have said that. If the rest of the show is like that it could be epic.

[bbqchicken]

wow great trailer :clap:

[Teamfour]

The trailers from some of your other films are really cool. Have any of them ever made it to full production? If so, where can I find them?

[porkingINpublic]

Awesome job so far!

[tim hawk]

Gonna be a good one!

[billm]

trailer looks great..looking forward to the finished film..nice soundtrack so far too

[/dev/bbq]

The first full minute and a half I had goose bumps. Can't wait for the final - please let us know how we can find this and your other films!

Thanks!

[Dragline]

Shaaaweeeettt !!!!!! Can't wait for, Dittos on the next comp fired up!

[Ulcer Acres]

Very impressive. looks great!

[smokinturtle]

that is awsome cant wait for the rest

[Pelkster]

^^^^^^What they said!^^^^^^

[BackPorch]

Awesome can't wait to see more

[TheJackal]

Update I received via email:

First off, I can't edit this footage longer than 30 minutes without having to eat something. Jesus. Matt Hamm really pulled off some great food porn shots on this one, Im very close to buying a meat slicer and keeping it in my office for projects like this.
Just sending an update out on the progress.
Everything is looking great, the content is awesome and the soundtrack is kickass. Really happy with how this looks. Im gonna continue editing as much as possible when I can, but rest assured this documentary is coming together nicely. looks great, sounds great, and between the smoking gnome stealing a golfcart, paul kirks legendary greatness, and tom bera getting bananas shoved in his face, I think we've got something really unique here. It's gonna be a bit longer though because we want this thing to be the best, so we've got 2 more sections to shoot (a local butchers schooling on meats and a super slomo intro shot with a bunch of competitors). But like an 18hour smoked brisket, the payoff will be worth it.
I'd also love any original music for the soundtrack so if you have any or know any decent bands send some my way.
and don't worry, t-shirts and stickers are on the way for all of you that donated. Thanks again. keep checking us out at www.DirtProductions.com (http://www.dirtproductions.com/).

I know this isn't going to sit well with many, but I wouldn't produce something full of foul language. Yeah, I've been known to have to go wash my mouth out with soap, but I ain't running around trying to start a new TV show with that language, either.

The most popular show on TV right now has NO cuss words or bleeps in it.

[bruno994]

All in on this one. A documentary about our passion, doesn't get any better. I think I've watched the trailer 6 times this morning already...I hope it's a 10 part mini series by the time you finish it...:grin:

[Jaskew82]

I cannot wait for this documentary. The trailer is amazing.

[Rub]

Awesome.

But as a documentary you have to show how it really is out there, and to not show how the people involved in comp bbq really are would be a disservice to the people who it is about and to those who don't know what it's about and are learning about it for the first time.

Also a network TV show can't have foul language or cuss words, because than sponsors wouldn't pay for ads and the network would not make any money. But network TV shows have plenty of sex and violence. In the last 5 to years cable TV shows have become extremely popular, starting with the Sopranos and then Mad Men and others like Dexter and Justified. All of those shows post great numbers and they are full of cuss words and nudity.

Just saying is all.

[chriscw81]

looks great!! looking forward to the release!!

[turtle]

:clap2: The trailer was great. I can't wait for the first competition.

[TheJackal]

Glad everyone is chiming in on the thread. First time I had to check the box for resurrecting an old thread. Thought I might have to deal with the message board police. :mod:

The trailer does get the juices flowing. Ready for that first comp this year!

[sdbbq1234]

Looking forward to more!!

A different genre than you have going now. But, they are an independent label and genuine good guys. I like some of their other stuff better but, this song definitely makes me think of BBQ.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

[bwsy2k]

Awesome!!!! Thanks a million, can't wait to see more.

[Shiz-Nit]

Just bad to the bone cool!!!!

Looks great! Must be a hoot to shoot. Just makes me wanna see moar! ! !

[nucornhusker]

That was awesome! I can't wait until it comes out.

Even more important, I can't wait until competition season starts back up!

[bbq.tom]

Looks GREAT!!!! Can't hardly wait for it to be fully produced!

[Trailhound]

Now this is what we need to show how BBQ contest works.
Can't wait for it

[arb023]

Looks awesome. Great music. Some of those turn in boxes remind me how much more I need to practice! Looking forward to the release.

[Southern Krunk BBQ Societ]

Great job, you should submit it for the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival in Hot Springs, one of the longest running documentary film festivals in the nation...

[gmag]

Looks good! Hopefully we get a blu-ray release!

[Pitmaster T]

The whole trailer offended me from frame one. We bbq peeps are normal.

I consider myself a pretty normal guy with interests balanced in moderation. I am interested in many things besides just bbq.

Unlike the guys on here I keep my ego in check and I definitely would not consider myself self centered.

Never once spending too much time on anything that could be considered... an obsession.

Much appreciated everybody. I am very glad that you guys are liking what we are making here. Truly. This doc is for us competitors. It shows our world, has unbelievable insight from all levels of competitors, and has a great soundtrack. Our goal with this is to give the public a glimpse into the REAL world of competition bbq, what its like to compete, how much time/energy/money it takes, and best of all, the camaraderie. Plus, how some past competitors have turned bbq into a business.

We are still in the editing phase (have over 15 hours of unbelievable footage) but I am always accepting original music and sponsorship. just contact me through our website.

Thank you all very much for your support. I hope we do you all proud and once its done I can finally get back to competing. Cheers everybody. I'll keep you all posted.

In smoke we trust.

I am sorry to hear that competition BBQ offends you. really! but why would you belittle a form of bbq that defines "the competitors" , have you competed? just wondering, or is this another way for you to promote your own agenda.. a video about competition is about competition correct, not your back yard cooker? or have you lost intrest in "wowing" others in another in a more comfortable venue

[Rub]

I sent your contact info to one Dorsey Odell, songwriter/guitar player bbq fool who has some original bbq music out there. Hopefully he will follow through.

Wow, you are quite a supercilious little gnome, aren't you? Joke.

I suppose you think in another thread where I commented that a certain person's excellent rib picture was too mahogany in appearance and "lacked the gray uniformity of a boil rib" would be meant to be taken literally. Do you think that was an insult? Or in other threads are you the type that thinks that I really intend to freeze Adam Perry Lang in liquid Nitrogen. Your type bring howls of derisive laughter.

Of course I do say these type of things because people like you give me a lot of amusement.

Now, am I offended? Do I really want to belittle the competitors or even the guy that made this film? No! Duh. Why else would I later comment in this thread that the film footage looked as good as another bbq documentary, "Smokestack Lightning" if you even know such a thing ever existed? If you are intellectually deficient I will explain; that is a compliment.

Second... I guess you didn't see the actual film the OP posted. Right from the start one of the featured players talks about what a peculiar breed we are. We are driven to create and push the envelope. So... in jest, I mention that I am offended by that classification and then offer evidence that I myself am that "warped." That's called comedic irony. Each segment of course lays a comedic element to the faults of our "breed."

As far as competition... I was competing before you sure as hell even started. To some distinction in Texas I might add. And really, I am sure the last time anyone ever referred to me, who raised more than 108K in charitable donations due to my Minnie Howell Good Vittles Society in the last three years, as a "backyard anything" was maybe 1988. In fact, in order to LAND the job assisting Ray Perez at the old Kruez that's exactly how I referred to myself.

Simply put, after a few awards and walks in one of the oldest BBQ Pageants in the nation, once you do the math as a winner, one realizes that they might do more good giving back to families in need than continuing to try and prove themselves. I have a true and proven method of cooking, one that some actually follow... so that assuredly makes me more than a backyard cooker. LOL

Furthermore, heck... you mentioning of the subject smacks that you disrespect the backyard cooker. Ah how the ignorant underestimate the novice. Let me know when you get to stage 4 of the "competitor" cycle, if you ever do. So few make it. Your stuck on number 2.

Now go back into one of your tribal huddles with your anti-funk lackeys and toss a few PM back and forth to figure out what you want to say next.

To the original poster... if I have to explain... it looks like your film will be doing much to show the world what little freaks we are, and we are. But remember Arnold in Pumping Iron when responding to people that said Bodybuilding was "strange" and "didn't make sense." He responded, "and racing around a race track in a speeding car does?"

[Zombie Barbecue]

Just wanted to let any competitors know that we will be filming this year at Green Lane, PA "Smoke in the valley" bbq competition. This is a great event and any competition team that would like to be in the documentary we'd love to have you. The shot is going to be a super slowmo epic shot of a group of competitors running full blast with turnin containers. These will be the title shots to the doc and the only "cinematic" shot we're getting but we will most likely be filming early on Saturday morning. Should be some good stuff. So hope to see you out there. Oh and if all goes well, "American Smoke" will be available for purchase August 2013. We're very proud of this and I must say there is absolutely nothing else out there like it. hope you all enjoy. Cheers.

[BurninTree BBQ]

Nice!!! Greenlane will be a blast.

Greetings comrades,

American Smoke is badass and Im steps away from having final dvds printed up! Fired up to share it with all of you. I finally finished the final edit and it is currently getting audio mastered, dvd design and final touches put on, really just cleaning it up. Hope you guys and gals like it, Im confident you will. We've spent almost 2 years filming it and It really turned into a great doc, covering all grounds from start to finish what its like to be in competition bbq, the people that surround us, and great tips and information on current trends with cooking meats and turn-ins, starts from the importance of local butchers talking about quality meats and the specific cuts used to some of the guys that are making a good living out of bbq today.*** I promise you will be hungry as hell when it is over.*** Thanks again for the support and we hope it gets some great exposure, we'd love to do another one, if the budget allows, where we can travel the country and showcase all of the other regions and much more people. So thanks again and we're on track to have dvds printed and for sale by the end of august (Im having another kid and buying a first home this month....while chainsmoking and finishing off all my liquor), but it will be available on our website, www.DirtProductions.com by end of August and we're working through wider distribution now as well. So stay tuned and again thanks for allowing us to showcase everything. Cheers and beers!

Cant wait for this dvd! :thumb:

[CarolinaQue]

Looking forward to this!!!

[bdadams84]

Will it only be on DVD, or are you marketing it to stream on sites like Amazon or Netflix? We watch everything via stream now, so I was wondering if that'll be an option. Either way we look forward to it. I'll do a brisket and feed friends and family for a showing.

[nucornhusker]

Thanks for the update. Will it be available on blu-ray also?

[rebelnorm]

Great look forward to the final

[Theresa B]

Very much resembles the season 1 BBQ Pitmasters which is what sucked me into competition BBQ. These last few seasons have been crap and we no longer watch. Looking very forward to getting back to the basics of comp BBQ. Love seeing some of the current pitmasters that are out on the circuit.

[nucornhusker]

If anyone hasn't seen, this got pushed back to September 20th now. Man I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!

[GoolsbyMD]

I might be jumping the gun but a lot of people fund stuff like this on kickstarter. You can do rewards for higher donations and stuff. Let me know if you go that route. Ill be looking for the DVD soon

[Twelvegaugepump]

Any idea on when this is going to be released? I really want to see how this turned out.

[KingRanch450]

They're saying Oct. 4 now

[Shiz-Nit]

They're saying Oct. 4 now

IF that is so then only 3 days away!!!!
Any updates???

[KingRanch450]

I got the Oct. 4 date off of their website

[BaggerBill]

Word is a previewing at the Keystone Classic in Harrisburg, Pa. On October 4

[bigdogphin]

The world is waiting

[Zombie Barbecue]

Howdy Ho,

We're happy as hell to say that Oct 4th DVD's will be available for purchase on our website www.DirtProductions.com. We will also be premiering the film at Harrisburg bbq comp tomorrow night around 9pm (much thanks to Andy Sawran from MABA).

The first prints of these are standard def dvd's and we're going to have bluerays available with bonus features by xmas time. We shot this in High Rez HD so the bluerays are gonna look even better!

Hope everybody likes the flick, we love it, tons of food porn plus great interviews and great teams and we really hope to do another season where we can showcase more teams across the country and more bbq organizations.

In addition, we're having a screening at YARDS brewery in Philly on Thursday Oct. 17th, where we're serving bbq and drinking beers. All proceeds will go towards Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. heres the link:

Thanks again for the support, This took us 2 1/2 years to complete and I hope its well received. Enjoy. In Smoke We Trust.

I agree!!!

[rookiedad]

just did it!!! i think you guys should send this to the food network, the travel channel, spike tv, tlc the outdoor channel and all those other channels as a pilot for a tv series. i'm sure one of them will pick it up. i would even send it to espn. they need some competition bbq on there! also, that logo is begging to be a tattoo!

[bmonkman]

Saw American Smoke in its public premier last night at the Keystone Classic comp in Harrisburg, PA. It is a very well done movie. Funny as heck in parts, very informative in others and just damn entertaining!!!

Well worth a watch.

[Crash]

Even the 808 has to support the disease of comp BBQ. Order placed.

[rolfejr]

Saw the premiere at Keystone and was amazed at the inside look at the world of comp BBQ.

Only sorry that I had to leave before the end as I had to fire up my cookers for the comp!

Bought two DVD's and will buy the blu-ray version as well.

I cannot recommend it more highly!

Just curious. how long is it?

Can't wait to see this on Blu-Ray as we missed the preview showing on Friday as I was stuck trimming CHICKEN! Did not prepare before getting there.

Saw it too at Keystone and have to agree on how well it was done. Really hits the nail on the head about why BBQ Comp Teams are out there doing their thing. Spent a lot of time nodding my head in agreement and laughing along with the folks on the screen.
Great job!

[daninnewjersey]

Ordered just now. It can't get here fast enough.....

[Prairie Smoke]

Order placed!

[Svenmac]

Placed my order. It says it has shipped. Can't wait!

[chickenchoker]

ordered.

[BrotherInArms]

Was able to watch most of the movie the other night at the Keystone Classic comp. very funny and put together really well. I too wish that I could have stayed to see the very end but the smokers were calling for a little attention and had to start our fires. Worth watching.

[TheJackal]

Looking forward to getting my DVD. Can't wait! I assume all pre-orders have shipped?

[Zombie Barbecue]

Howdy ho amigos!

We appreciate the good response were getting from American Smoke. Orders are shipping were happy to say we got our first orders from the netherlands as well!
There is a mistake in the film though and just to be clear, Christmas City bbq team is comprised of Tom and Stacie Feil. It was listed as Marc(his brother). Out apologies. This will be fixed for the bluerays.

Please feel free to let us know your thoughts, hope we did the sport proud.

Were also holding a screening thursday oct. 17, from 7pm-10pm at Yards Brewery in Philly. Proceeds go to Childrens hospital of philly. Come on out for bbq, beer, and the movie. Details here: http://dirtproduction.blogspot.com/2013/10/american-smoke-screening-yards-brewery.html?m=1

Thank you again, hoping this creates some steam to film another one, until then well see you out there!

[MarleyMan]

[Twelvegaugepump]

[Untraceable]

[KingRanch450]

I see two others already beat me to it....opened my mailbox and had a great surprise in it. As soon as I finish this post I'm going to kick back in my recliner with an ice cold PBR and give her a watch!

[Untraceable]

Don't let your wife see the first part if you embezzle money to participate in BBQ.

and by embezzle, I mean lie to your wife on the cost of the sport

[clweed]

Damn Yankee Accent!!

I liked it and it reminded me of home, grew up in western Pa.

[TheJackal]

Watched it last night. Great stuff!

[rtboswell]

Got mine in the mail today just in time to take to an extended family cookout- I think I'm gonna get them to watch it to give them some perspective on this crazy hobby.

[Untraceable]

Lol, just finished it. Pretty cool explanation of comp BBQ. The end of the DVD is great. Can't wAit to see the deleted scenes and stuff on the blu ray

[Big Country BBQ]

I am defiantly excited to see this!

[Crash]

Ours arrived in Hawaii today. Bummed that I have to wait for whatshername to come home to watch it.

[Untraceable]

Plenty of Brethren make appearances. that was cool as well

[bruno994]

[Smokin' Gnome BBQ]

[sweetracks]

Just got notification that it shipped! Maybe I'll get lucky and get it tomorrow! Can't wait to see this. The trailer had me cracking up.

[Twelvegaugepump]

Awesome documentary. Nice work! Will be watching it again tomorrow!

[sweetheatbbq]

[Twelvegaugepump]

I received an email when it shipped. The status was changed through paypal I think.

[Bigmista]

Just finished watching it. Great production. Camera work was excellent. Meat shots were money!

Buncha ugly farkers though.

Guess I'm gonna have to hump my fat butt out to that part of the country so you gus can have at least on person of color competing. Can't do anything about the lack of women though.

[bbq.tom]

Got it, watched it, and really enjoyed it!

Only comment is some language could have been edited - would have liked to have shown it to my in-laws and nieces, but not with the f-bomb in there several times.

[MarleyMan]

Got my copy today, excellent production. I found myself nodding in agreement and snickering many times throughout the film because of all the things us competitors can relate to.

Kudos and I hope we see more in this style showing the REAL side of competition BBQ.

[DoctorVapor]

The trailer is great. I'm gonna hold off for the Blue Ray release, but I'll totally buy this film.

[K-Train]

[RAIDERKEVINBBQ]

N:grin:ice video

[PeppermonkeyBBQ]

I'm just happy to finally know all of Sal's secrets .... Finally we have an advantage!

Great video, looking forward to being able to hand it off to folks who have shown interest, but don't really understand competition BBQ.

[smokeisgood]

Got it and watched it today.....nice work.

[K-Train]

Watched it, loved it. Will watch again soon

[BMerrill]

You may want to contact the PBS network and see if they are interested in airing it.

If PBS or another channel picks it up to air, they will need to BLEEP a few spots. Just saying...

[bbqmike_ny]

Ordered :)

[Teamfour]

Just placed an order. Will get the HD version later since I just couldn't wait!

[gmag]

When does the bluray come out?

[bigdogphin]

Best $20 I have spent.... I can identify with everything in this movie

Thanks

[Zombie Barbecue]

Thanks again for the great reception the film has been receiving. For those wondering, we are still working on getting Bluerays printed, taking a lot longer in dealing with these companies and getting exactly what we want. But we're gunning for summer to have bluerays available and hopefully some t-shirts as well.
In addition, we'll be out at the cbbqa sponsored santa anita bbq comp 3/22 doing some coverage out there and we've been tossing around ideas for a followup film showcasing more "unique" competitions throughout the country, showing more diverse teams/regions, detailing more in depth techniques and gear, and showcasing the amazing charity events that bbq serves. we'll see how things line up. Anyway, can't wait for this season to get going. Thank you all again for the kickass support and we'll see you out there.

Just now finished watching it for the first time. Well done! Loved the camera work, music, and candidness of the people. You guys put your own spin on showing things from the competitor's side and it was refreshing. Plus I saw a lot of people I know which is always cool. I'd score it a 9.5 on the FBA scale. :thumb:

Now for a great event put on for a great charity, plan on coming down to Smoke on the Water in Winter Haven FL. 80 some teams, on a lake, 5 stages with live bands playing, and all the $$ raised (I think around $100k this year) goes to the local Boy's and Girl's Clubs. And the FBA teams are a really fun bunch! Get with me and I can put you in touch with the right people.

[nucornhusker]

Any update on the status of blu-rays? Your website still states the same thing that it has for months. I'm sure if you had anything to update you would, but I've been looking forward to this since you posted the trailer and I really want the blu-ray version.

Thank you.

[SITM BBQ]

Or a digital copy would be great, for purchase and download. Would buy it today if it were on iTunes.

[Blueislandbbq]

I tunes please

[Sallenthornton]

Based on the reviews, I decided to purchase this today. Hope I didn't make a mistake.
