    Join your hosts, the dynamic BBQ duo Cody Barrett and Pit Barrel Master Grant Full, as they fire up the grill and dish out their latest adventures in smoke. After a wild fall, they're back to talk about everything from party ribs (Cody's go-to) and conquering beef ribs for the first time, to the secrets behind perfect pork belly burnt ends and tender pulled chicken thighs.

    • What you'll get: Deep dives into smoking techniques, honest reviews (like those crazy pinecone hotdogs), tips for your next big feast (including Turkey Day), and a look behind the scenes at what's heating up their YouTube channel.
    • The Vibe: It's real talk about real BBQ—no nonsense, just flavor. Whether you're a rookie griller or a seasoned pitmaster, you'll feel right at home with Cody and Grant.
