"Putting the bourbon baked beans directly under the smoking brisket to catch the drippings is pure genius. That tip alone made this entire masterclass worth ten times over."

★★★★★

"I always struggled with soggy coleslaw until following module 3. Salting the shredded cabbage beforehand keeps it crisp even after 4 hours out in the summer heat."
