Texas~Carolina “The BBQ Side”

More family favorites from my childhood kitchen. As a testament to my love for this food and my devotion to doing it the right way, I drove to Texas a few years back and bought a custom smoker from pit master Chad Johnson. This is the same Smoker as they use at all the places in Austin, like Franklins, but ours is on wheels.
