Makes you wishy-washy. Just can't come down on a side. You probably drive an El Camino, just don't know what you want.

I’m a 275F guy too and consider that low and slow.
Hot and fast starts at 300F and goes up from there IMHO

As long as you turn out good results consistently, it doesn’t matter how you get there. As I’ve learned, a good cook (“Pitmaster”) can make delicious food on just about anything - heck, they could probably cook on a 55 gallon drum or similar if they do a bit of work on it. Or even just throw it on some coals.

I do cook on a 55 gallon drum... but I'm hardly a pitmaster, unless you let the term mean master of YOUR pit, and even then, I'm still learning tips and tricks.

He means well. It's just his way of expressing that when he discovers something himself it is a universal truth. The internet is a terrible medium for interpersonal communication.

Ole Jim would pull out his 3 Wood, take a nice easy swing and put it 215 in the center of the fairway. 97% of the time. Then he’d pull out his 7 iron. Lay it on the green. 97% of the time.

He called it old man golf. Told me. Doesn’t matter that you hit yours farther. My second shot may be farther away, but I always know what club to hit.

So. If you have a process that gets you consistent food hot/fast or low/slow. It’s the consistency that matters. Not the speed.
This is a very good analogy which fits perfectly ; well stated.

Yep. It's a lot like the old joke about the old bull and his son (cleaned up for a family forum).

'Dad, let's run down the hill and get one of those those heifers'.

'No son, let's walk down and get them all'.

Well I'll throw my 2cents in... Yes I hate it when people have to say "not to sound like a jerk" or "why does everyone do it this way.. when my way is better" It does make you sound like a jerk! It's better just to give your opinion and say "Man I really like this method.. you all should consider it".. Instead of calling out everyone because they like to enjoy some time watching a pit and drinking beer!

Now.. back on topic.. Different cookers require different things.. My WSM loved running 275... always... Food turned out great.. My vertical offset.. I ran that thing anywhere from 250-350 always turned out great. My pellet cooker, I just cook at 250 that's where that thing shines when it comes to cooks.

I like the hot and fast method.. but I cook based on the pit I'm using and how it feels like running that day.. Both methods are valid... Both methods have their reasons for being that method... I do believe your fat/connective tissues break down the longer/lower your cook goes.. and I think for hot and fast you have to approach your cook a little differently.

Maybe you're just not very good at low and slow..

Some would say the low and slow crowd has a overall better skill set. Some would say the hot and fast crowd are just lacking grandda's talent. Of course these are just incredibly broad generalizations with not a shred of evidence ta prove one or the other......

Can't believe how easily Khabib submitted justin. sucks he retired too. Back to topic, I think a lot of smokers don't have the ability to do hot and fast. I know over the years ive had a bunch of smokers that barely got to 275F, let alone stayed at that temp. Especially in the winter months.

We all are brother! That is what makes this great, no cook is the same, there is multiple ways to skin a cat and nobody knows everything.

I am more of a “cook where your cooker wants to cook” guy. My 20 plus year old cooker likes to run at 275-325 so I ride the horse that brought me.
