Ep. 306 - The Business of BBQ feat. Brett Stokes

Brett Stokes from Lanes BBQ joins us for an insightful yarn on his passion for BBQ, how food brings people together, his drive for competing in BBQ comps and how that evolved into the business that we all love at HQ, Lanes BBQ. We touch on some of Brett's best recipes not only in BBQ, but in Pizza and other sides to compliment every Blokes Sunday tradition of getting into their work on the smoker, oven or grill. Brett took the time to cook with us on the day using a couple of exciting rubs that we have in the works together, Daddy's Dust and Red Dirt, which we discuss on the show in depth before wrapping up with the guest questions. One of the nicest and most genuine blokes we've met who is incredibly passionate about his business.
