Knows what a fatty is.
Very cool! That is my favorite style - on wagon or trailer for sure.
How this transpired is….there’s a market for it and I told Tyler well over a year ago that we were going to eventually need to enter that part of the market…. We have built a few over the years but not like this one… a customer ask me if I could or would build one a d I said absolutely… many people who have cooked on direct flow just can’t seem to get the hang of reverse flow for some reason and prefer a direct flow cooker….. I love reverse flow and always will I feel like to the best of our ability we have perfected reverse flow….with the direct flow cookers with the taller stacks and such in the last couple years it seems like he market has been good… is it a fad …… I have no idea … I mean in Texas it has been popular for years…again so here we are…. I’m finishing the cooker today and will have videos out soon…. As far as price point … models… all that is to be determined when I sit down with Tyler….sure there’s will be things we see and change on the cooker as we move forward but on this one I think we did well… the way our stack folds is different as is some other areas ….. moving forward we will adjust as needed…. To remain fluid in the business…. Yes steel prices are insane…. I’ve been in the business 40 years…. Never has it been like this, and we live 4 miles from Nucor’s mill in Tuscaloosa and have many contacts….this insane state will run not later part of next year is what we are being told….you will soon see the 3/8 thick pipe fire boxes on some of our 36 reverse flow models

Is it really fair to say they "can't get the hang of it"? As if reverse flow is better but those direct-flow guys can't figure it out how to use it properly?
Because they are saying the exact opposite - RF is great if you need to smoke as much meat as possible with minimal effort. But if you're willing to put in the time to perfect your craft, direct flow produces a better final product.
