| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the fucking Powell Movement. |
| 0:10.5 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.9 | I'm your host, Mike Powell, and this week it's Smoke Week on the podcast. |
| 0:17.9 | And the reason for that is twofold. |
| 0:19.9 | First and foremost, I just received a |
| 0:22.3 | Trager Ironwood 850 grill. Now, if you listen to the show, you know I love how easy my |
| 0:28.4 | Trager 570 makes it to work the smoker like a barbecue master. And I did love that grill. But this new |
| 0:35.1 | ironwood is next level for me. So it's a smoke week because |
| 0:38.6 | I like to smoke the shit out of everything. And I will say, Traeger and that first grill they sent |

| 1:14.8 | I put my first pork butt on the grill at 5 a.m. this morning, and this pork eating dew is ready |
| 1:20.0 | for the ass, aka shoulder tonight. |
| 1:22.8 | And for those of you that don't have a trigger, you should treat yourself to a grill this |
| 1:26.2 | season. |
| 1:26.8 | Your family and friends will thank you. And after you buy your grill, you may as well sign up for TGR Premium |
