Out of curiousity

[Brian Bronnert]

Just out of curiousity, what qualifies someone to be have the title pitmaster? I am new to smoking and was just wondering. Is it the person cooking the food in general or someone with much more qualifications? I'm just curious.

I'm not sure there's a definitive answer to your question. I believe it is given not self appointed. When you impress someone or a group with your cooking, and they feel strongly enough, they will bestow the title.

 

[Brian Bronnert]

That makes perfect sense to me dwain

 

[James Lake]

When your family and friends are asking you when your next Q is, that is when you are a "pit master"!

 

[Phil Perrin]

I don't know about "pit master" , but I AM a grill sergeant and have the shirts and tattoo to prove it!

 

[Bob H.]

Call me anything just as long as the food is just right.
