If you are stuck in a BBQ rut, I've got you covered. Today I'm breaking down three meats I'm putting on my pit to cook for my family very soon - from a cheap, nostalgic favorite inspired by a legendary Tennessee pitmaster, to literal meat candy that's going to make the angels sing. I'll be dropping the tips and temps you need to cook them with total confidence. Stick around until the very end for a weekend pitmaster challenge, plus a free guide to living a life of purpose.
