Starting Aug. 1, the New Braunfels Smoker, a popular barbecue cooking unit, will no longer be made in New Braunfels, the town about 45 miles south of Austin for which the smoker is named.
But the company that makes the smoker will continue to use the New Braunfels name on its smokers, even though the New Braunfels Smoker will be made - gag - in Georgia and in spots outside the United States.
I wouldn't trust a barbecue cooker made by a plant in Georgia. That would be like a canoe company opening up in the Mojave Desert. People in Georgia know about as much about barbecue as a groundhog knows about flying. So why should Georgians be entrusted with the task of barbecue cooker manufacturing?

What assumption does this author make about people in Georgia?
A.
They will not be able to keep the smoker business going.
B.
They do not have good manufacturing methods.
C.
They don't know much about barbecue.
D.
They don't like to eat barbeque.
