If you’ve ever eaten at a really good BBQ restaurant then this week’s guest has already had a profound effect on you.  David Knight is the President and founder of Ole Hickory Pits, a leading manufacturer of commercial (restaurant) barbecue smoker ovens, sold worldwide. With experience earned from his early days in the family restaurant and knowledge gained from pit design, David uses his skills to help restaurateurs and competitors stay on the cutting edge of the industry. Knight is also active in the competitive circuit, both as a judge and with his support of teams. Ole Hickory Pits also now makes a line for residential backyard use. A 2016 inductee into the BBQ Hall of Fame, David’s support of Operation BBQ Relief has been a key to their success. Dan and Dave also talk about cooking shellfish.
