“I haven’t actually told anyone about this,” Aaron Franklin said on the KCRW
Good Food podcast, “but I really want to start making little backyard pits.” He was speaking to Evan Kleiman and the late Jonathan Gold in March 2015, and it was the first announcement of what would become Franklin Barbecue Pits. Franklin again teased the release of the pits when Hot Luck festival kicked off in 2017, promising them the following summer.

The first batch of Franklin’s backyard smokers will be delivered in time for a Memorial Day barbecue.
