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.

Remember: BBQ is known for being low and slow cooking that produces a fantastic reward. Life as a pitmaster is the same. You have to put in the low and slow efforts to produce the fantastic reward: a legacy of impact! Until next time: season some meat, start a fire, and make an impact!

About the Episode:

I chose to send out overcooked sausages from the pit one day. What was the response? My youngest son got a little hot headed while practicing his driving the night before his driving test. Did he pass? What happens to our standards when we are tired or overwhelmed? What lessons from barbecue give us foundations to help combat that? This episode answers those questions for you.

Until next time: season some meat, start a fire, and make an impact!
