AMEN!
We had a tasting for a bride and groom that we are goingto be catering for this fall at the house this weekend. We did ribs, butt, brisket, salmon the whole works and we made sure we pulled the butt in front of them and sliced the brisket in front of them cut the ribs ect all in front of them and they had questions from what type of wood to how to get started.
We answered all of the questions and showed them one of our 5 smokers and how it worked. Groom asked if I thought he could get started using an electric smoker (my wife jokingly said hell no) but I told him sure and asked what was his reasoning. He said he didn't feel he had 12+ hours to dedicate to making a brisket ove charcoal and wood. I told him it didn't matter what he was going to use that low and slow was exactly that low and slow. He was going to have to take the time weather it was on a huge cooker, and electric or a webber with chips and a water pan.
To me that is educating the public and I don't mean to pat my own back here, but I see this type of education going on at comps all the time.
They would be better off asking the comp organizer to find a team that they could pay to cook up some stuff for handouts and showing the public that it could be done on a charcoal grill with woodchips like mentioned above. But hamburgers and hotdogs are not the way to go.
