If high beef prices have you scared to fire up the smoker, or if you've got a past BBQ failure you *need* to redeem, this episode is for you. Today, we are wrapping up our two-part series by breaking down three budget-friendly, flavor-packed items that I'm throwing on my pit soon. We are going from a cheap 'poor man's' classic, to an underrated St. Louis staple, and even a smoked appetizer to settle a little family rivalry. I'll be giving you the pit room stories, the temps, and the tips you need to cook them without breaking the bank. Stick around until the very end for your weekend pitmaster challenge to help you create that sacred space at your table.
