Welcome to Episode 24 of the podcast and Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, New Year’s and all the best of the season to you all. This episode brought to you by Canada’s BBQ School. We have pitmaster classes scheduled in 5 Alberta cities for 2019, taught by National Champ Rob Reinhardt of Prairie Smoke & Spice BBQ. If you’re in the market for a new smoker, we’ll have 5 styles on site. Come get unbiased advice and taste the food for yourself. We’ll show you the techniques that impress judges, and techniques that impress your family - they’re not always the same! We’ll tackle 5 different meats, we’ll talk about ingredients, technology, cooking fuels, and different strategies to allow YOU to be the king of the smoker.
