About author

Tom PinoArticles

Tom’s journey as a butcher began during the years in the mid-70s, marking the onset of a remarkable 49-year career in the meat industry. Starting as an apprentice in 1981, he immersed himself in the art of butchery amidst supermarkets. His career trajectory took him from mastering meat cutting to assuming management and merchandising roles across five major companies in southeastern New England. His expertise in meat and his dedication to the craft led him to embrace the BBQ fever in the early 2000s. He acquired a basic horizontal offset smoker and began his journey as an amateur pit master. Tom’s passion for BBQ grew as he experimented with modification techniques to enhance smoker performance. Tom’s profound knowledge of meat and his love for BBQ have seamlessly merged.
