[Cook]

Aaron Franklin just bought a new Oyler. I'm supposing for his new fusion restaurant...?

Actually, this new venture of his sounds an awful lot like Uncle Pete's here in Massachusetts. Pete passed away and his restaurant closed. But his wife was from Thailand and they offered traditional bbq fare along with Asian fusion type sides.

Savings in wood will be huge. Oylers are pretty awesome.

There’s a BBQ place in Mass called BT’s Smokehouse that uses 2 Oyler’s to keep their customers fed.

Hutchins BBQ in McKinney use 3 of the wood fed kind to crank out their meats.

apparently, cooper's old time pit in Llano Tx also uses a well hidden oyler.

Awesome Pic! Oyler's are a big part of Texas BBQ history, and I've had some great BBQ coming out of one. If you're ever near downtown Dallas, check out Slow Bone BBQ, and their Oyler smoker named "Bessie"!

Oh ok thanks for that info.

 

[Czarbecue]

I’m sure Aaron chose the Oyler because he can’t be at this new place every day.
