How many times in the past week have you either heard someone say or you yourself have actually said you were tired. Or, you are worn out. Or, have you experienced burnout or know someone who has experienced burnout? When you are cooking brisket or pork butt, what do you do when you take it off the smoker? REST.

Most men see the big things such as work, sports, material things, status, etc. But most men do not have their eyes on the little things. You focus on those…and the result will be life changing!

So today I get to chat with the owner of Wright’s Barbecue, Jordan Wright. Jordan tells us his story of how he got into barbecue, gives new pitmasters or barbecue business owners some advice, and then gives us a life lesson that barbecue has taught Jordan.

Have you ever had a brisket’s flat curl up during the cook or had the point char before the bark had really set? If so, you aren’t alone. That is driven by one important element of the cook, the heat. We will be discussing consistent heat both in barbecue and in our lives as men.
