Paul Reitmier of Silver Creek Smokers is about as close to Aussie BBQ Royalty as it gets. He built his first standard flow smoker, an offset smoker of course, in 2005, almost a full decade before the Australasian Barbecue Alliance was created, and we have the scene we have today. Inspired by traditional Texas style offset smokers, his style of bbq smoker trailer is considered by many BBQ pitmasters on the competition BBQ circuit to be the best offset smoker for the money. In particular, his BBQ trailer and food trailer designs are extremely highly regarded. And the best part? They're all Australian made!

• Paul's first offset smoker build (8:31)
