My friend Johnny aka @smokeycue joined the podcast and we talked about the many wonderful opportunities for fellowship that are driven by BBQ. When his mom passed, the #BBQ community came to his side and helped him get through the difficult time. Like me, Smokey Cue also enjoys making great BBQ for his church and he also shares his smoking & grilling talents with his co-workers. Johnny has competed in BBQ events and when he's not making great food stateside, he can be found grilling and smoking abroad in Australia. We discussed his fondness for #Yoder smokers as well as some of his other smokers. If a cooker can hold temperature and impart smoke flavor, then Smokey Cue can master it. We cover these topics and more in the podcast including his fondness for @NeilSarap BBQ rubs. @smokeycue can be found on TikTok and YouTube. Also make sure to check out his daily posts on Instagram for great cooking inspiration!
