What does it take to run a premier BBQ competition? Tonight on The Smoking Barrel, Emmeline Wharton pulls back the curtain on the logistics and the "sport" of the Marietta River City BBQ Competition. To get the view from the pits, we’ve also brought back Shawn McCulligan of T&S Barbecue. Together, we explore the evolution of the Marietta scene, the technicalities of the four meat categories, and what Sean is doing to keep his edge this season.

If it’s "kissed by fire," we’re talking about it.

The 30-Hour Cook: Episode 30 Milestone We’ve officially hit the big 30! To celebrate, we’re going deep into the science of the "low and slow." Cody breaks down his brand-new pellet smoker setup and how it’s changing his backyard game. Meanwhile, Grant takes "patience" to a new level with a 30-hour Eye of Round experiment—combining the precision of sous vide with the soul of the smoke. Plus, we discuss why the RFX Meat Probes have become our go-to tools for hitting that perfect internal temp every single time. Grab a drink and settle in; the pit is hot.
