I'm in over my head here when it comes to BBQ expertise. It wasn't part of my family background, not a southerner by heritage, and not from the country. I love it when I get a chance to eat some good stuff, though.
Ran into this former UM football player last year. I knew he was up in the area. He graduated Melbourne, was highly recruited, but had to spend a year at Fork Union. I guess he got stuck in a numbers game at DE--we had Rusty Medearis, Kevin Patrick and Darren Krein all at DE. He ended up transferring to UCF for his senior year but still loves the U, I think. Here's a review of his BBQ. He briings his truck out to my area in Maryland a couple of times a week. I still haven't been able to get over there to give it a shot.

He uses apple wood, not hickory.
