On this episode of The Grill Coach Podcast, we’re talking all things smoked pork butt—a BBQ classic that’s perfect for slow smoking and packed with flavor. From prep to rest, we break down each step so you can master this essential cut.
Jay shares his experience with B&B Competition Char Logs, a clean-burning, long-lasting fuel that’s perfect for low and slow cooks like pork butt. Brian takes us into steak territory, grilling a delicious picanha, and we answer the question: “What’s the best way to cook a steak?” Our advice? It depends on thickness, cut, and your grill setup—whether you sear first or reverse it, temp control is key.
