Blane Hunter (a.k.a. Mr. Porky Butts) grew up barbecuing in south Texas from a very young age. He was tending fires and checking temps as soon as he could help with his dad’s passion for the magic that happens in the world of “low and slow” pit smoking. With over 27 years of experience combined with a Culinary education from Johnson and Wales and FVTC culinary schools Blane started competing professionally in the world of BBQ in 2013. In the seven short years that followed he has accumulated one of the most impressive resumes on the BBQ circuit across America.
