This past weekend I went to what I would say is the best BBQ festival I've hung out at yet. The Red Dirt Festival. It's in the town square in Tyler, TX where they set up a stage but the music doesn't start until the barbecue is over. This is different from most because you can actually hear people and hang out when you eat their BBQ. For me, it was a dream! I usually have to filter out background music, equipment, generators, and more. This time we got to talk quietly as everyone managed their cooks. We started out hanging with the Truth BBQ crew. Patrick Hernandez and Reid who were making sure their amazing briskets were staying warm on the pits of Arnis Robbins from Evie Mae's. Reid is known for having his celebrity friends like Houston's Paul Wall stop by their Heights location at Truth. The meaty part of this episode is with Jordan and Cody while they cooked a whole hog on a custom pit made by A.N. Bewley manufacturing. Cody and Jordan spoke over 3 weeks about the design and Bewley built it just in time for the event. It's an impressive setup. It has a whole mechanism for flipping the hog, multiple openings and a simple way to make coals mounted on the back. After this weekend I'm so excited about BBQ and the Texas barbecue scene I can't even sit still about it. I'm going all over the world this year to talk to people who eat, cook and love BBQ.

Reveille Barbecue Co. is a newcomer to the barbecue scene in Texas. Currently operating out of a trailer in Magnolia (a suburb north of Houston), Reveille was started by co-owners/pitmasters James McFarland and Michael Michna. James began chasing his BBQ dreams a few years ago and quickly built a resumé working at The Pit Room and Tejas Chocolate and Barbecue. Michael had a passion for cooking barbecue dating back to his days in the armed services and continuing into his career as a firefighter. The two met and became friends years ago and began making barbecue for cookoffs and special events. After several years of dreaming about opening a business, the dream began to become a reality in 2017. With a lot of hard work, planning, encouragement from friends and family, and the purchase of a custom built reverse flow smoker built by Arnis Robbins of the acclaimed Evie Mae's Pit Barbeque, Reveille became a reality. Reveille opened in May of 2018 serving strong representations of many of the smoked meat staples along with non-standard sides such as blistered shishito peppers and a version of Mexican street corn with a Texas spin. Currently open Saturday and Sunday starting at 11 am with plans for expanded hours in the coming months, the future is bright for Reveille Barbecue Co.

Thank you for listening in 2017! First up on this episode, we announce the winner of the $50 gift card from Truth Barbecue Listen in as customer-turned-pitmaster Nathan Pier takes us on a pit tour at Evie Mae's. Arnis Robbins custom builds his own unique reverse flow pits that are like no others in the business. The first two pits, named Shadrach and Meshach started from 750 gallon propane tanks but the tops are boxed out to provide up to three racks of cooking surface. Their third pit is a large J&R Oyler 1300. Pits four and five were the most recent pits built for full time restaurant use. They retain Arnis' reverse flow design but leave the rounded tops from the original tanks intact and also benefit from an insulated firebox.
The conclusion of our interview with Arnis Robbins of Evie Mae's barbecue. Listen in as Arnis talks about learning of their top ten Texas Monthly ranking and discusses the business growth from a small trailer with a single pit to a brick and mortar with twenty employees.
