This week’s video:
“Chef Tom breaks down how to start and maintain a clean fire in an offset smoker. No matter what brand you are using, this method will ensure a clean fire time after time.”
“Is there anything more American than barbecue? We’ve got all sorts of methods for cooking barbecue in the South, along with different sauces that are unique to each region. Whether you’re slathering your pulled pork in Alabama White Sauce or serving up brisket with Memphis’ molasses-based sauce, Test Kitchen Director Robby Melvin is walking us through the origins of this oh-so-popular Southern dish. Follow along to learn about barbecue’s early beginnings from the Spanish conquistadors to the early settlers’ distinct sauces.”
“When it comes to great barbecue, Alabama might not the first state that comes to mind. However, Alabama is home to more barbecue restaurants per capita than any other state, and its pitmasters are extremely confident their state offers the best barbecue in America. Zagat toured a selection of Bama’s famed barbecue joints to find out what defines this style of cuisine.”
“This historic trail leads barbecue fans through the whole state of NC to some of the best BBQ joints. These pitmasters keep the traditional craft alive: Their pits are fueled only by charcoal or wood, they make their own sauce and they are in the barbecue business for more than 15 years. This roadtrip is about iconic restaurants on the trail, pitmasters who dream of becoming a part of it and those, who search for the best barbecue – regardless of whether it’s cooked traditionally or not.”
When most people think “barbecue,” they don’t think “whole hog.” But that’s not the case for Dr. Howard Conyers, rocket scientist and South Carolina Whole Hog pit master. Watch this episode for a short-course on everything you need to know to fire up the pit for this regional Southern tradition.

“Today we are smoking some pork steaks on the charcoal grill! This is a fantastic recipe! To start off we season each steak with a home made BBQ rub. Then we smoke these beautiful pork steaks for an hour. Next we give them a nice hot sear to lock in the juices, and finish them by slathering them in some barbecue sauce until they are nice and sticky!”
