🦆 Why do so many cooks keep duck fat on hand?
It's not a trend or a secret ingredient—it's a time-tested cooking fat that delivers big results. A few reasons pitmasters and backyard cooks love cooking with duck fat: • Helps create a crispy, golden exterior • Adds rich flavor without overpowering the food• Has a relatively high smoke point• Works great with potatoes, vegetables, and proteins In this recipe, we put duck fat to work to create crispy potatoes that are packed with flavor and texture. 🎥 Check out the recipe:https://youtu.be/V0olgfNIUuA Do you cook with duck fat? If so, what's your favorite use for it—potatoes, vegetables, steak, or something else? Let's hear your best ideas below. 👇

Duck fat is magic.

I enjoyed a weekend away in the mountains of WV judging KCBS at the Almost Heaven BBQ bash. We wrapped up with a Sunday morning trip through Blackwater Canyon, an afternoon train ride and a giant Primanti Bros. sammich. Pic of Kiddo with Partner, the mascot of Convicted Pigs BBQ and catering. He served as the teams box runner for the contest.
Pellet smokers — love them or think they're "cheating"? Let's talk 👀
Hot take incoming: pellet grills have brought more people into BBQ than any other piece of equipment in the last decade. And that's a good thing. Yeah, you're not babysitting a fire the same way. But you're still dialing in temps, managing moisture, choosing your wood, and learning how different meats behave. That's real BBQ. The people I've seen get the most out of a pellet smoker treat it like a tool, not a crutch. They use it to nail the basics, then layer in more technique over time. Where do you land on this? Pellet loyalist? Offset purist? Running both? Tell me your setup and why you love it.

Some love them, some don't. I can't claim to have cooked on a pellet grill but one complaint I hear regularly is units catching fire from those who think cleaning is optional or beleive automation allows them go without having to pay attention to their cook.
Whats going on your smoker or grill tonight? This weekend?
I am in the mood for some of that simple delicious backyard style BBQ chicken on the kettle grill tonight. We have a couple Turkey breasts planned for the weekend. They will get happy in an overnight brine with some Big Poppa's Chicken prod and then get a nice savory rub. What's going on your grill? Outlaw pic from a comp morning for inspiration. Can you smell the brisket?
