BBQ Interview Series - Kevin’s BBQ Joints

In this second interview with Mike and Matt at M&M BBQ Company, we get three (really much more than three) pieces of HUGE breaking news. They touch on the fact that ALL of their pits are now NSF and ETL certified (meaning ANY restaurant can use them across the U.S.). They talk about the myriad of patents that they have meaning ONLY you would have YOUR specific M&M Pit and lastly they are taking all of their knowledge on the commercial side and bringing it down to the backyard side (we talk in-depth about the El Nino which is the little brother to the El Rey commercial live-fire pit). Their current lead time (not counting backyard items) is around 6 months. Another key facet of this chat is their digital thermostat. Mike explains that in detail.
