Talking Kamados | Matt Harris | Shire Smokers Barbecue

What's the deal with the Kamado Joe? Matt Harris from Shire Smokers Barbecue leads me down the rabbit hole of ceramic obsession and does his best to induct me into the Kamado Cult. With claims of being able do a smoked brisket in 5 hours, I have to admit - he's close to getting me over the line! Shire Smokers Barbecue is one of the oldest teams on the competition BBQ circuit in Australia and have seen the scene change a lot over time. As a result Matt is well respected on the circuit, at one stage holding the record for highest BBQ chicken score. Matt spends a lot of time giving back to the BBQ community, running classes, founding the largest Kamado group on Facebook, and running charity side-competition with... ahem... devon, raising money for local schools and other great organisations.
