Podcast Companion: Neolithic Cooking Techniques--Tarver and the Guys Go WAY, WAY Off-Script

 

Hi everyone!  Tarver is with us once again.  Jesse had a whole episode of topics planned out (well, to the extent we plan anything), but Tarver and Nate had other ideas, and we ended up discussing grilling, smoking, hardwood, and charcoal for an entire episode's worth of material.

I mean, we are always unscripted, but this one was, like, especially unscripted.  Still, it's a great show, give it a listen if you're into fire.  (If you aren't into fire, you may be reading the wrong blog.)
