Dan Barret is about as close to BBQ Royalty as it gets in Australia. As the one man team 'Big Smoke BBQ', Dan has risen through the ranks on the competition BBQ scene and now travels around the country, and the world, absolutely dominating on all fronts. In 2019, Big Smoke BBQ finished 4th on the KCBS Australia ladder, which is already very commendable, but when you find out how many KCBS competitions Dan had to do to get there, you'll be surprised!In this episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Dan takes us through the whole Big Smoke BBQ story, starting in 2015, right up to the present. We discuss the highs, the lows, and most importantly the lessons that he's learned that's made him a better BBQer. We find out about exactly how his 2019 went and what got him to the pointy end of the KCBS Australia ladder. And very excitingly we learn about what he's doing (or should I say where he's going!?) in 2020. We round out the interview talking about some very interesting topics. We learn about different business opportunities that his success in competition BBQ has led him to, as well as a complete career change. More interesting though, is the closing segment where we discuss pellet grills. As a brand ambassador for Green Mountain Grills, Dan was the perfect person to explain all about how they work and why he's so in love with them. In fact, Dan was cooking on pellet grills years before they were trendy on the Australian competition BBQ scene. He even shares some secret tips and tricks to make sure that you can get the most out of your pellet grill!
