New here? Start with this. Five short lessons, about 20 minutes, and you'll know where everything is and what to do first.

Fire control taught properly — vents, fuel, two-zone, reading smoke, and what to do when the temp runs away from you. This is the part most people never learn, and it's the part that decides whether the cook works.

Your first cook here, start to finish. Pick it, fire it, run it, log it, post it. You'll get it diagnosed by me and by people cooking on your gear. About an hour of reading and one afternoon at the pit.

Every free guide I've ever made, in one place. New practical guides added regularly. Print them, keep them by the cooker, they're yours.

My whole video library, sorted by year and upload date. Start with whatever's giving you trouble.

The questions that come up most, answered straight. Ask something new in Ask Mr. B and if it comes up twice it lands in here — with your name on it.
