Low & slow. Root & smoke.
I have an invitation01 What it is
Once a year, on a private estate somewhere east of the Appalachians, a small group of people gather to do two things very well: cook meat over fire for a very long time, and take apart things that were not meant to be taken apart.
No sponsors. No badges with your employer on them. No recordings. What happens around the pit stays in the smoke.

- Location
- Date
- Capacity
- Fewer than you think
- Dress
- Things you don't mind smelling like hickory for a week
Coordinates go out by courier, then by radio, and never by email.
03 House rules
- Don't talk about the estate.
- Don't open the smoker. If you're looking, it isn't cooking.
- Out of scope: the estate's network. The kitchen. The cows.
- Phones go in the faraday bin at the gate.
- Sauce is optional. Respect isn't.
- Bring something: a dish, an exploit, a story. Ideally all three.
