Summary

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, Malcom's getting his butt kicked in the Pick'em League (00:14), and the competition is heating up fast. We kick things off by giving a big shoutout to everyone who competed at The Jack this past weekend (03:23). We're also announcing our brand-new Let's Get To Cookin' Community Giveaway — tune in to find out how you can enter to win some awesome prizes (05:00). Malcom just got back from a North Dakota waterfowl hunt, and he's got some stories about the incredible steakhouses and wild game eats he found up there (08:26). Got a leftover baked potato? We share some of our favorite ways to turn it into something next-level (19:41). Then we dive into why the Primo Grill might be your next favorite backyard cooker (23:19). Tyler cooked up a Lasagna Soup that blew everyone away (24:02), and he shares a few stories — and surprises — from his trip to Dollywood(28:55). Malcom sets the record straight — yes, he's still making plenty of new BBQ videos (37:27). We also get into a big debate: why beef cheeks might just be better than brisket for smoking (39:16). Plus, Malcom weighs in on whether it's a good idea to rest a Boston Butt on the grill after shutdown instead of using a cooler (43:54). Todd posted his Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, and it looked absolutely incredible (46:30). We also answer some listener questions: Can you use AP seasoning as a dry brine (48:12), what should you do if strong winds are messing with your grill temps (51:39), and is it normal for a pork loin to have a pink hue after cooking? (53:46)
