Yeah, I stopped during season 2. Season 1 was good, but they would have to choose people who could win regularly..... not the season 1 cast.
Salmon is about as native to Georgia BBQ as filets of Koala are to Alberta, Canada...
Are you sure? People on the previous seasons (after season 1) had trailer pits. Johnny Trigg was using his Jambo trailer, Jamie Greer was using a Jambo trailer, and Rod Grey was using a Jambo Trailer.
Unless they changed the rules this season they have had trailer mounted pits in the past.
I even accept the dramatic "pit not coming up to temperature" and "meat might not get to target internal temperature" problems that are added effect.
Personally, I'll watch (DVR) the entire season, as it is entertaining! I'm not hung up on the "regionality" of GA, KC, NC, wherever, but more on how the teams prep and cook. I see that they are going to do a show in North Carolina. Can't wait to see what they have to say about "NC style" bbq! There are several different "styles" in NC.
Enjoy watching or turn it off!
It wasn't added effect. It was COLD when they filmed. Everyone doesn't has the benefit of an insulated smoker.:help::help: If you look closely, you will notice everyone wearing long sleeves and turtlenecks.
I understand it is cold and temperatures drop. But I refuse to believe that any Pitmaster worth a dang first reaction to a low temperature (after they had their pit wide open moving food in and out) is to throw 2 sticks into the firebox. And then not even 2 seconds after throwing 2 stick in there realize the back damper wasn't opened all the way.
You can also tell different parts are cut scenes where they edit stuff in and out. Rollin' Grills pit was at about 245ish, after he threw the 2 sticks in and corrected the damper, he is walking away from the pit and you can see that the thermometer hands are past where the 350 degree temperature was .
I understand it is a reality cooking show. I enjoy the show and I learn from it. However it is pretty obvious when things are edited and added for dramatic effect. It might of been a small problem but the emphasis of it to try to make it seem like a big problem is there.
What # season is being shown on Destination America? When do the new episodes come on?
... I dont think their audience (or target) is the traditional reality TV show viewer, but more of a grilling/BBQ type of person that wants to glean a tip or two (shigging by the TV) and get to see how competitive some of these folks can be. I think if they stuck to the KCBS 4 categories (and I'm not a KCBS hard-core guy either) and asked things about preparation, rub, temps, etc. that they wouldn't lose a viewer at all...
I think there are quite a few viewers that are not as into the hobby of BBQ as we are here, and the last thing they want is to have folks say something like "hmmmm, all these guys cook is chicken, ribs, pork or chicken... what channel is Bonanza on?". It's fair to say many viewers cook on gas or maybe just a kettle grill.... so even something we take for granted like shoulder or brisket might never be possible (or practical) for them.
I'm not saying I hope they have cheeseburgers as an entry, but I did enjoy the show where meatloaf was entered. And along those lines have they ever had sausage as an entry?

They told me when I filmed my episode it was season five but on the first episode this season, they said it was season six . The new episodes come on Saturday at 21:00 (9PM for civilians)
