Here is one more episode from 2020 before we flash forward a little bit on our next episode. 

In this extended Thanksgiving episode Anthony and I shoot the breeze while smoking a brisket and this type of conversation is precisely why I recommend working the pit with others around.  It’s a fun conversation where we share choice memories from our personal BBQ journeys and reminisce about the things we are thankful for in 2020, while sampling some craft beers.

Connect with us on social media if you're interested. We've put our info down below. There are also some links that we added so you can check out some of the things that we discuss.

Thanks for taking the time to join us for this conversation. I hope you enjoy the show!

Nawaf Refai, owner and head pitmaster of 2 Smokin Arabs would have to be one of the most gentlemanly fellows in the Australian BBQ scene. Known as Raf by his friends, he was bitten by the BBQ bug several years ago, and what started out as a casual toe-dip into the competitive BBQ scene has evolved into so much more.

Raf has gone all-in with his food truck - 2 Smokin Arabs and has grown the business to an incredibly successful level in an incredibly short period of time. And there’s big things coming for him just around the corner - but I’ll leave that for him to tell you in the episode. 

But it’s not just his track record on the competition circuit and the food truck scene that sets him apart. He is a man who understands that his business owes its success to the support of the community that he services. And so he does everything he can to give back. In last year's bushfires he and his team hit the road and not only served the first responders, but also put on fundraising dinners, with the proceeds paid directly to said first responders to help them make sure they had everything they needed. And this is just the tip of the iceberg that is this man’s generosity.

In this episode we not only discuss the phenomenal growth of 2 Smokin Arabs, but also the community work that he does, and we close out the episode with a lesson from Raf on how to cook the perfect brisket. Check it out!
