In this special Listener Spotlight episode, Jay and Brian are joined by Lamont for a dive into one of the most important (and often overlooked) BBQ skills: shopping for beef. From timing your meat purchases to knowing how much to buy, where to buy it, and what to look for at the counter, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you cook with confidence. 

This week’s highlight 🔥 is a Christmas Day brisket and we dive deeper into the cook with Lamont later in the episode - trust us, you won’t want to miss this!

BBQ Question ❓ of this week is “How do you keep your food from sticking to the grill?” We break down the fundamentals that make all the difference, no matter what grill you’re cooking on.

This week’s 🛠️ Grill Coach Recommends is A Vertical Al Pastor skewer for the grill — not just great for pastor, but a versatile and essential tool for rotisserie-style cooking.
