Still soaking your wood chips? You're doing it wrong.

In this fire-breathing episode of Culinary Mechanic, Simon sits down with Barbecue Hall of Famer and grilling myth-buster Meathead to dismantle decades of backyard lore—and rebuild it with science, precision, and damn good meat.

They cover everything from reverse sear technique to the truth about charcoal, beer-can chicken, and why thermometers matter more than knife skills. Meathead doesn't just grill—he educates, demystifies, and takes no prisoners when it comes to getting it right.

If you think good cooking is about "feel," this episode might hurt your feelings—but it'll make your food better.
