We consider the BBQ Trinity: Ribs, Brisket, and Pulled Pork. Once you’ve mastered all three, you’ve got a lifetime of great BBQ ahead of you 🙂
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting videos of each one, sharing tips and tricks from our cooks.
First up is pulled pork. Here are the basics on a 6 pound pork butt we picked up at Costco:

Some like it hot! So we finally broke down and wrote out our smokey, spicy, and HOT dog recipe for you all. This is a great weeknight delight. Easy to make. Can be done in as little as 30 minutes.

There we were, late one night, swiping through our Instagram feed. Drooling over BBQ “porn,” wishing there was such a thing as smell-o-vision (seriously, Apple, let’s get moving on that!). Say hello to our social media addiction: all BBQ, all the time.
Anyway, there it was … a big fat slab of something resembling pizza … except it was MEAT …
