Aussie BBQ Royalty | Paul Reitmier | Silver Creek Smokers

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul Reitmier of Silver Creek Smokers is about as close to Aussie BBQ Royalty as it gets. He built his first standard flow smoker, an offset smoker of course, in 2005, almost a full decade before the Australasian Barbecue Alliance was created, and we have the scene we have today. Inspired by traditional Texas style offset smokers, his style of bbq smoker trailer is considered by many BBQ pitmasters on the competition BBQ circuit to be the best offset smoker for the money. In particular, his BBQ trailer and food trailer designs are extremely highly regarded. And the best part? They're all Australian made!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this Episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Paul and I get into all things BBQ, including:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Paul's first offset smoker build (8:31)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What the Australian BBQ scene looked like before the ABA (10:10)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The founding of Silver Creek Smokers (16:52)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How the trends in the Australian manufacturing of smokers has changed over time (20:06)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Some of the iconic smoker trailer and competition bbq trailers he's built (29:02)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Tips and Hints for wanting to know how to build an offset smoker (36:27) including:</span></li> <li style="list-style: none; display: inline"> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Stack Effect and the importance of Draw (37:53)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The differences
