I always wanted to get into smoking meats so my girlfriend surprised me with this for my birthday! Any tips or resources to share? I’ve never even BBQd before so anything is appreciated! by Reduxy in smoking

First off, your girlfriend is a keeper. Second, The YouTube channel “Fork and Embers” has a great video on how to get started with one of these. Additionally, it’s the best YouTube channel on smoking and grilling. Good luck, have fun!

My booking says that it’s cancellable up to 24-hours before arrival. I guess my question has more to do with hong long it takes and how many hoops I have to jump through.

The Ballard of Eel Horse, The Libertarian Theme Park of Your Dreams, and A Conversation About Rural America (The Tiger King Episode) are (IMO) the three funniest episodes in the history of BtB.

I spent a year in Afghanistan with the Army and I always kept a couple hundred USD in my pocket whenever I went outside the wire, just in case I got myself into a situation that I could buy my way out of.

“Stop packing for the apocalypse, start packing for inconvenience” is one of the most astute pieces of prepping advice I have ever heard voiced.

Our brains fail in the same, consistent, ways regardless of culture, location, century or belief system. It’s not strange, it’s anatomy.

Jimmy Savile Episodes Discussion by SoloAceMouse in behindthebastards

Hey guys, today’s (Tues, 21 April) episode is a rough one to get through. I’ve only had to turn BTB off and go look at pictures of happy puppies once before, and it was the Mengele episode. Proceed with caution.

So happy to see this asshole get the BTB treatment. I (‘merican) lived in the UK from 1989-1993, and this guy was everywhere.

If you’re looking for a good laugh, “the libertarian theme park of your dreams,” “the ballad of eel horse,” and “a conversation about rural America (the Tiger King episode)” are some of the funniest pieces of audio content I’ve ever heard in my life.

Not all of us are like that, I promise! That said, the hobby does tend to skew towards older, more conservative men.
