The smoke is rolling, the coals are hot, and we are bringing the championship pit directly to your screen with the launch of BBQKNOWHOW Live. If you have ever found yourself staring down a stubborn brisket stall, wondering how to get that perfect bite-through skin on your competition chicken, or trying to dial in your fire management, your weeknights just got a whole lot more flavorful. We are firing up an Instagram-exclusive live stream dedicated entirely to answering the barbecue questions you have been burning to ask, directly from one of the most decorated minds in the game.
There is no script and no secret gatekeeping—just pure, unfiltered barbecue knowledge. Every week, we are turning the floor over to the fans. You ask the questions, and Mark Lambert of Sweet Swine O' Mine delivers the answers. As a world champion pitmaster who has conquered everything from the sprawling, high-stakes setup at Memphis in May to backyard cooking across the country, Mark knows exactly what it takes to elevate your barbecue game from average to extraordinary. Whether you are curious about the precise moment to wrap your ribs, the science behind layering a bold flavor profile with a heavy dusting of Sweet Rub O' Mine, or how to get the absolute best performance out of your favorite fuel, Mark is pulling back the curtain on the techniques that win trophies.
This interactive format means we can dive deep into the specific challenges you are facing on your own smokers. We will be talking airflow management and heat retention on heavy-duty rigs like Yoder Smokers and Ole Hickory Pits, discussing the nuances of burning premium hardwood lump, and exploring the exact trimming methods that create a perfect, uniform smoke ring. It is a rare opportunity to troubleshoot your weekend cooks in real-time, pick up insider tricks from a seasoned pro, and connect with a community of folks who are just as obsessed with the art of live-fire cooking as we are.
Make sure your notifications are turned on, prep your best questions, and get ready to take notes. Head over to our Instagram page, drop your toughest barbecue dilemmas in the latest Q&A box, and join us as we talk smoke, spice, and everything in between on BBQKNOWHOW Live. Join us Tuesdays starting Sept 8th at 5pm Central.
