Despite being brothers who share many of the same preferences, most notably a love for economic and personal freedom, we deeply disagree over BBQ smokers. On the Fourth of July, Chris will be waking up early to light a reverse flow offset smoker while I will be plugging in my pellet smoker. Aside from some good-natured brotherly teasing — Dan calling Chris a 14-hour full-time fire tender and Chris saying Dan has an adult Easy-Bake oven — our divergent preferences create no conflict between us.
