This week on The Grill Coach Podcast, we’re talking big flavor and even bigger bones—it’s all about the mighty Tomahawk steak! But first, we kick things off with our weekly highlights: Jay takes us on his Brisket Taco and Tallow Adventure, while Brian gets schooled by his own Party Ribs in a delicious learning moment. Then we tackle a listener-inspired question: Could a 28-inch grill with a lid double as table space, or would I end up disappointed? (Spoiler: we’ve got thoughts.) After the break, we dive into the showstopper:
What is a Tomahawk steak? How do you pick the right one? How do you prepare and cook it to perfection? We walk you through the full cook—from the reverse sear and smoke setup to using your thermometer, letting it rest, and of course, the best part—the eat.

Alex breaks down how he’s helping build the future of outdoor cooking—using tiny computers to control fire. We dive into his BBQ background, how he got into the tech side of grilling, and what exactly is and is not considered "AI-powered." Tune in as we explore: What to look for in a smart grill? The evolution of grilling technology, and what the future holds for connected outdoor cooking. Whether you're a backyard beginner or a gadget-loving pitmaster, this episode is packed with flavor and fire.
