You don’t need a fancy smoker or competition-level gear to serve up flavor-packed BBQ at home. Around here, we believe anyone can grill like a Smith — it just takes a few key habits and the right sauce.
1. Don’t Overcomplicate the Fire
Whether you’re using gas or charcoal, control is key. Keep a two-zone setup:
- One side for searing
- One side for slow-cooking
That’s how you get bark without burning.
2. Use a Thermometer. Always.
BBQ is about feel and flavor, sure — but undercooked or dry meat ruins the fun. Invest in a digital thermometer. Chicken hits 165°F. Brisket can go 195–205°F. Your guests will thank you.
3. Sauce at the Right Time
Don’t brush BBQ sauce on too early — it can burn. Instead, add G.W.S BBQ Sauce in the last 5–10 minutes of cooking, or right after pulling the meat to rest. Let it glaze, not incinerate.
Bonus Tip:
Good BBQ is about timing, patience, and pride — just like our sauce. Keep it simple, use real ingredients, and you’ll cook like a Smith in no time.
