Continuous Improvement and Relentless Pursuit

As is the case in my day job, it is always necessary to seek continuos improvement in order to achieve sustained results. This includes improving both your work processes and yourself.

Seeking excellence in organizational performance is no different than seeking excellence in BBQ. At PRBBQ we always search for best practices, methods, techniques and equipment.

Never stop learning! This weekend I chose to skip a competition event, one of my favorites, in order to learn. I will instead make the drive to attend a BBQ class presented by Holy Smokes BBQ. Holy Smokes has enjoyed a tremendous level of success to include appearing on and winning BBQ Pitmasters on the Destination Channel. Humility is a critical leadership trait! If you think you know everything or are not willing to share with others then you influence and knowledge is limited. I am looking forward to both learning and sharing with this fine team and their other guests.

Embrace change! I have been and remain a huge fan of Traeger and their wood pellet smokers. They have served me well and will remain a critical part of my cook arsenal. However, the need for additional capacity and constant and consistent temperature control, has led me to Jeff Conley and his Assassin Smokers. http://www.assassin-smokers.com/.

Last week. I placed my order for a custom red (Bama red) model of this fabulous product. I look forward to its arrival and the new path of opportunity that both my efforts to learn and this new equipment represent.
