The Smoke Sheet and friends meet for Barbecue Saturday

Monk: Earlier this month, Ryan (aka BBQ Tourist) and Sean (aka NYC BBQ) of The Smoke Sheet invited myself, Ronald Simmons of Master Blend Family Farms, Michael “Chigger” Willard of the Low and Slow Barbecue Show, and Paige Hogan of Barbecued_ to meet up at Jon G’s Barbecue for a Barbecue Saturday while they were in town from Omaha and New Jersey, respectively.

Not to be outdone, Ronald invited his friend and videographer Paul to video the experience, and this is how it turned out. Enjoy!

Palmira Barbecue’s Brick and Mortar has Opened in Charleston

Monk: Palmira Barbecue’s West Ashley location in Charleston opened its doors early last month. In my latest for The Smoke Sheet published a few weeks back, I recap my experience on the Sunday of opening weekend.

While my experience was fairly smooth (minus a few hiccups at the cash register), it sounds like there have been mixed reviews of Palmira since it opened. Or at least that’s how it appears based on feedback I’ve received on my Best Barbecue Joints in Charleston post.

Have you tried Palmira Barbecue yet? How was your experience?
