109 Tom Damin from Smoky Pastures BBQ

Smoky Pastures BBQ are an award-winning competitive BBQ team based in South Australia. Tom Damin is the team captain and Pitmaster. He just also happens to be an expert in Agriculture and Primary Production. Whilst the year has been quiet with regards to BBQ competitions, Tom and the rest of the lads from Smoky Pastures BBQ have not been resting on their laurels. They have headed into the lab, and have come to market with an exciting new range of rubs.  In this interview we not only cover the development and release of these rubs, but we also get into what is very clearly a passion for Tom - Agriculture and Primary Production. Focussing specifically on beef, we discuss the impact of Covid on the Australian beef industry, the development of the Black Angus breed, the importance of pasture balance on the final product, and we put the argument of grass vs grain fed to bed for good! Stay tuned for Tom to return in another few weeks - an hour was just not enough. We barely scratched the surface in regard to the agricultural industry and the relationship with BBQ.    Learn more about Smoky Pastures BBQ: https://www.facebook.com/smokypasturesbbq/  Grab our award winning merch now: https://www.smokinghotconfessions.com/shop/
