Many people are hesitant to try their hand at barbecue because they think that their food has to be perfect from the start or they believe that they must follow a printed recipe to the letter. This is simply not true! As a matter of fact, you are encouraged to experiment with different rubs, spices, marinades, etc. until you find the flavor/s that you and your family enjoy the most. If something doesn't go right the first time, take note and think about what you can do differently the next time you're on the grill. The key is to keep trying, learn from past cooks and don't be afraid to experiment! Get a jumpstart on your new BBQ journey!

My friend Johnny, @smokeycue on Instagram, joined the podcast and we talked about the many wonderful opportunities for fellowship that are driven by BBQ. When his mom passed, the #BBQ community came to his side and helped him get through the difficult time. Like me, Smokey Cue also enjoys making great BBQ for his church and he also shares his smoking & grilling  talents with his co-workers. Johnny has competed in BBQ events and when he's not making great food stateside, he can be found grilling and smoking abroad in Australia. We discussed his fondness for #Yoder smokers as well as some of his other smokers. If a cooker can hold temperature and impart smoke flavor, then Smokey Cue can master it.  We cover these topics and more in the podcast including his fondness for @NeilSarap (Instagram) BBQ rubs. @smokeycue can also be found on TikTok and YouTube.  Get a jumpstart on your new BBQ journey!
