Pit master and owner Russell Roegels takes us through his humble beginnings in the barbecue world. It has been a bumpy ride but success only comes to those who persist through the tough times.

I had the chance to hangout with the pitmasters of the Houston BBQ Festival the night before the event and all day during the festival. Not only was the food phenomenal but everyone working the event was friendly and outgoing with me and my big camera getting in their way. Beaver's, Blood Bros.
