S2 Ep6: Direct Heat Isn’t Just Radiant — It’s How Radiant and Convective Heat Work Together
Direct heat cooking isn’t chaotic — it’s misunderstood. In this episode, Frank Cox explains how radiant and convective heat work together in enclosed direct heat cookers, why radiant energy drives the cook, how coal bed geometry creates control, and why distance matters more than thermometer readings.

S2 Ep5: Fire Structure for Offset Smokers: Why Your Pit Feels Hard to Run
Offset smokers don’t struggle because of temperature — they struggle because of fire structure. In this episode, Frank Cox explains why offsets are coal-bed machines, how different coal bed setups change fire behavior, and how building the right fire makes offsets easier to run, cleaner to burn, and far less frustrating.

S2 Ep4: Cooking Temperature Myths: Why Chasing Thermometer Readings Is Holding You Back
Chasing thermometer readings causes more stress than better barbecue. In this episode, Frank Cox explains why temperature is context—not control—and introduces BBQ KPIs (Key Pit Indicators) as a better way to judge progress, render, and doneness. Learn why dial, digital, and wireless thermometers often mislead, how observation beats obsession, and how cooking with “soul” comes from adapting instead of chasing numbers.
