HowToBBQRight

On today’s episode of the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we brought the luck to the Atlanta Braves this year (00:57), and Malcom took me sports betting for our wedding anniversary (03:30). The Shop held a BIG competition this past week (08:00), Malcom came in dead last (08:35), and I share my secrets for my go-to Chicken and Dumplings (09:52). I want to know if Malcom remembers one of our World Foods recipes we did years ago (13:25), and he would have given up hunting to go to the beach this weekend (15:20). World Foods started out as a steak contest (18:13). Malcom picked up all his turkeys for the season, already (22:30), and last week, he made a Butter Basted Turkey on his Traeger Timberline (22:50). I’m curious on how he goes about getting that big of a bird in a brine (23:17). He wishes he would have done a butter injection in the Butter Basted Turkey (28:06), and pellet grills make the best turkeys (29:48). Malcom NEVER stuffs his turkeys (31:29). Mark Lambert gave him his “top secret” turkey seasoning recipe (34:31). Pop-up thermometers are an absolute sham (38:35), and presenting your turkey on Thanksgiving is AS IMPORTANT as the flavor (41:00). Deep-Fried Turkeys often come out dry (42:08), so Smoked Turkeys are the best (42:40). Malcom found his ideal bird for an upcoming TikTok recipe (45:00), and there was no Monday Night Wing recipe this week (46:53). We’re talking turkeys with Mark Williams on Facebook Live (47:47), and Tyler is a Stovetop Stuffing kind of guy (48:40). We ponder about the flavor of canned ham (51:04). Are there after-market temperature controllers for pellet smokers (53:59)? Malcom spills the beans about his go-to, super easy to make Bonafide Chili (59:04). Tyler wants to know if we’ve ever made homemade Chili Mac (1:03:15). Malcom tells a story about his EASY Sonic Cocktail (1:06:20).

On today’s episode of the HowToBBQRight Podcast, the Braves’ have a new stadium in Brad’s backyard (02:15). Brad tells us how he started GrillGrates (04:38), how his wife joined him in his venture (09:00), and the amazing network of employees and freelancers he’s accumulated (12:03). Brad brought us some Umami Fermented Rice (15:20). He tells us about the biggest GrillGrate he makes (18:20), and the new one for Blackstone Grills (19:45). Are perfect grill marks really all they're cut out to be (23:20)? How many grills does Brad own, compared to Malcom (26:52)? Malcom is still trying to convince people that Grates run hotter than the dial says (30:05), and we explain how Royal Oak’s Charcoal Pellets work (31:18). Brad was stressed the whole time he was on QVC (34:56), but his life motto is still #GrillGrateful (37:30). Brad never cleans his Grates (39:38), and he barely ever takes them off the grill (43:58). Hurricane Dorian devastated his vacation home (46:40), which ruined his attempt at breaking a Guinness world record (49:35). He tells us about his upcoming app, GrillMaster (56:25), and he explains how to grill Rock Lobster properly (59:18). 

Malcom loves “Fat Boy Fall”, full of fun flavors and festivities (00:41). Baseball is better than football to watch at the stadium (04:58). Our fan from Vermont sent us a box of goodies he makes from Maple Sap (09:40), and Malcom took it off his list of foods that he refuses try (18:07). We spent this past weekend at the Royal Oak Invitational (20:08), and Malcom got to try a new type of steak (29:27). The bathroom in the BBQ trailer smells like an old Memphis Zoo staple (41:58). This week’s recipe was a BBQ Chuck Roast (46:30), which Malcom paired with some jalapeno slaw (54:41). Malcom’s doing a Butter-Basted Turkey recipe for Traeger (1:00:50), and he’s already thinking about his Thanksgiving Turkey recipe (1:05:00).

Malcom had an interesting trip to the dentist (00:47), right on the heels of his mystery meat contest in Warsaw, Indiana (06:37). He visited a cool BBQ store there (12:53). Malcom gives me the rundown of how milk cow steak is made (16:14), and he tells me about the new drinks he had while in Indiana (18:35). I got an email from a fan wanting to send us his award-winning syrup (20:28). Malcom is loving the chili coffee rub he made this week (23:58), and the flat iron steak he put it on (26:09). He paired it with Al Frugoni’s Chimichurri Rub (28:51), and I was in love with the subtle coffee flavor in Malcom’s new rub (32:18). Malcom had trouble finding a skirt steak at Aldi this week (33:21). He loves his GrillGrates much more than his ManGrates (36:37), and I came across a great tip for adding a smokey flavor to your steak (44:54). Malcom tells me about all the GrillGrates he’s ruined (45:58), and what modifications he’s seen made to them (48:54). Malcom doesn’t use steak weights (52:21), andI want to know when he chooses not to use his GrillGrates (55:45). I give Malcom a rapid-fire GrillGrate Q&A (57:02).

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we got a new coffee machine just to try some new coffee that Umble Coffee Co. sent us (00:23), and we also received a package from a sought after sponsor, this morning (04:46). I want to know how Malcom feels about grilling with coffee (07:13). He likes to wake up to the smell of coffee (11:46), and we discuss what kind of foods are cooked using coffee (13:56). Malcom thinks about how he could use coffee in a rub (15:28), and he tells us about the strange challenge in his upcoming competition in Warsaw, Indiana (18:47). Why does Malcom love his Outlaw Smokers so much (24:05)? How big IS the BFO (29:18)? Malcom tells me about what he has coined the “microwave shelf” on grills (32:47). What’s Malcom’s ace-up-his-sleeve for the upcoming ‘Mystery Meat’ competition (35:39)? I pick Malcom’s brain about how many rib recipes he has up there (36:59), and which recipe will he use in his competition this weekend (41:27). We ponder the virtues of real butter vs margarine in competitions (43:00), and Tyler demands to know why we aren’t fans of real maple syrup (44:10).  We talk about the latest Monday Night Wing recipe (48:35), and the blue cheese sauce he made for it (53:31).

On today’s episode of the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we’re recording on National Podcast Day (01:07), and bow season is about to kick-off (01:40). We talk about all the preparations we had to do to put on our first BBQ competition (03.24). We laugh about Malcom missing turn-in at The Jack (13:12), and I want to know what Malcom learned from hosting his first BBQ contest (14:58). Is sanitation, cooking with sugar and removing rib membranes a BBQ cardinal sin (20:19)? We also discuss letting your meat rest, oiling your grates and using wire grill brushes (27:52). Does bone-in meat have more flavor than boneless (53:06)? What’s coming up on the HowToBBQRight agenda (1:01:43)?

We’re excited for the MS State Bulldogs season (0:45), but also knee deep in preparations for the Water Tower Festival we’re sponsoring, this Saturday (3:06). Malcom is still drooling over Pulled Pork for Breakfast (4:27), and I was pleasantly surprised by the bacon jam he made to go with it (8:51). Malcom concocted his next Monday Night Wing recipe (09:46). We had a photoshoot at Malcom’s Deer Camp yesterday (14:50), and I had to really improvise with our props (15:53). We have a remote guest today (22:03), who told us all about The Jack (22:52): how the last year has affected it, what our guest’s job is during the competition (27:30), and how ironic it is that an alcohol company is based in a dry county (28:53).  He talks about what events and family fun will be going on during the competition (30:44), where you can crash when you’ve experienced it all (33:49), and what to pack this year so you don’t have to worry about weather (35:27). We want to know how one gets an invitation to The Jack (37:18). Malcom is excited to talk about some of the whiskeys sold at Jack Daniels’ HQ (40:35) and our favorite mixed drinks from them (46:28).

Malcom is excited about our new holiday gift registry (0:56). The American Royal Competition is going on right now (2:06), and it brought back memories of freezing our butts off there (3:46).

Malcom and I wonder which grills can get the most done (44:01). Recently, we’ve been cooking a lot of overnight pellet grill Pork Butts (46:19), and really considering this technique to give the best results (49:37). Malcom cooked dove last weekend (52:44), which we coupled with some Old Fashioned Deer Roll-Ups (56:05). Malcom’s planning on hunting some more doves (1:00:05), right after the Hernando Water Tower Festival Rib Cook-Off. (1:00:34)

Malcom and I talk about how our taste for veggies has changed over the years (0:45). We completed our goal for the Palmer Home (5:34). Malcom and I are teaching a private class later (9:30), where we will be making our very own redneck sushi recipe (10:22). We talk about how well the south makes sausage and cheese (15:28), which gets us thinking about how they must BBQ out in California (19:03).

Malcom and I explored Cozy Corner with AB yesterday (3:07), and AB loved the Southern hospitality he saw (6:15). We reminisce about the “fire” food we ate yesterday at Memphis BBQ Co. (9:35), after which we all had to go have a lie-down so we didn’t burst (14:47).  Malcom loves AB’s amazing wing recipe (15:50), and AB shares his gratitude for Malcom’s hospitality (24:55).
