Backyard SmokeMaster BBQ supports the growing community of passionate backyard barbeque enthusiasts who are interested in learning about barbeque cooking techniques, grills, smokers, accessories and delicious recipes. On a whim, host Kenyatta Robinson posted a clip on YouTube after he asked his daughter to film the arrival of his long awaited custom-built 20" offset smoker from Lone Star Grillz. Kenyatta was surprised by the number of questions received about the smoker so he created a follow-up video where he described the features of the stick burner and and explained why he was interested in learning how to make BBQ with one. The video was well received and the channel was born in earnest back in 2018.Since then Kenyatta has amassed a number of other grills and smokers and continues to make videos about them. This podcast is an extension of the YouTube channel and is designed to give listeners another way to share in Kenyatta's insights about BBQ.

Weber Kettle vs PK 360 - Which Is A Better Value?
The iconic Weber Kettle and the PK 360 are both fantastic charcoal-based grills that are easy to master with practice. Both are versatile and capable of handling low & slow barbecue and high temperature grilling.
The Weber Kettle is economically priced and allows you to easily get into the charcoal game. The PK 360 is made from cast aluminum and it can stand up to all types of weather conditions. Both will last for generations with little effort.
We discussed both grills and I have put together a comparison scorecard that contains key stats and information to help you decide which of these grills might be best for you.
