Excellent show about smoking’ and grillin’

BBQ & Tech is a funny and informative podcast that is suitable both for experienced BBQ chefs like my husband and total beginners like myself (that’s a stretch - I’m not even a beginner, just an appreciative aficionado of the fruits of the husband’s labor). Peppered with tips, techniques, and technology, this great show is another chance to listen to two of my favorite podcasters talk food.
