ABOUT

I’m Will. By day I run IT for a couple of real estate companies. By night, weekend, and way too early in the morning, I’m out at the smoker.

The thing that got me hooked wasn’t the meat, it was the problem. Smoking is a science experiment where the variables never sit still, so I started writing down every cook and building tools to take the guesswork out. This site is that notebook, cleaned up and shared.
