  • Forget Perfect BBQ — Just Cook (Between the Fires)
    May 13 2026

    In this episode of Between the Fires, John from Okie Smokin talks about the five biggest mistakes backyard cooks make — and why he’s guilty of every single one himself.

    From chasing competition-level perfection to thinking you need expensive smokers and complicated recipes, this episode is a reminder that great barbecue is really about good food, good stories, and the people gathered around the fire.

    John shares real experiences from cooking on everything from a Big Green Egg to a Weber kettle, experimenting with crazy ideas like Big Red pork shoulder, surviving Oklahoma storms during live cooks, and learning that some of the best BBQ memories come from mistakes.

    If you’ve ever stressed over your brisket bark, overthought your seasoning, or worried your grill wasn’t “good enough,” this episode is for you.

    Because around here, great barbecue doesn’t have to be expensive, perfect, or complicated.
