Blane Hunter (a.k.a. Mr. Porky Butts) grew up barbecuing in south
Texas from a very young age. He was tending fires and checking
temps as soon as he could help with his dad’s passion for the
magic that happens in the world of “low and slow” pit smoking.
With over 27 years of experience combined with a Culinary
education from Johnson and Wales and FVTC culinary schools Blane
started competing professionally in the world of BBQ in 2013. In
the seven short years that followed he has accumulated one of the
most impressive resumes on the BBQ circuit across America.
