I would spend the money and go to one of Mike Mills classes on running a BBQ restaurant. You will end up saving lots of time and money. Some of his classes are in conjunction with Old Hickory Pits and some are at his restaurant, you will get a feel for running a BBQ business and that is something most people forget as they love BBQ but dont' know anything about food costing, marketing, secondary uses of product, proper holding of BBQ and all he little things that only experience teaches. FYI, experience is the most expensive way to learn anything.
