The best barbecue stories aren’t always found at the awards table. They’re found around the fire, in the conversations, and in the people who keep the culture alive. In Chapter Two of Stories From the Smoke, we take you inside the 10th Annual Country Style Cookoff hosted by Art Fennell @countrystylebyartfennell in Blenheim, South Carolina. We catch up with Chris Joyner of @cjbbqmore and More, the Dapper Pitmaster behind the legendary Fry-Tanic fish fryer, and sit down with Stan @pitmastercheez Battle for a conversation about barbecue, business, service, and building a life around live fire. This is more than a competition. These are the stories behind the smoke. 🔥 Chapter Two premieres tomorrow on YouTube.

The Caribbean has a story to tell... and it begins with fire. 🔥🌴 From the streets of Saint Martin to live-fire cooking, incredible local flavors, Carnival celebrations, and the unforgettable energy of Festival de la Gastronomie, this is only the beginning. This isn’t just about barbecue. This isn’t just about food. It’s about the people, the culture, and the stories that bring them together. 🎬 A new Black Smoke Media series is coming soon. Follow along as we take you behind the smoke and into one of the Caribbean’s most unforgettable culinary celebrations. Special thanks to our partners @exhibitsupply and @hardercharcoal for supporting Black Smoke Media and helping make projects like this possible. 🔥 #BlackSmokeMedia #SaintMartin #FestivalDeLaGastronomie #BBQ #CaribbeanFood by @blacksmokebarbecue

From a $100 grill to owning his own barbecue restaurant. 🔥 Tay Nelson didn’t start out planning to become a pitmaster or restaurant owner. He learned barbecue by watching YouTube videos, experimenting, and putting in the work. Today, he and his wife Sarah are behind @eatbobbys in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. But there’s a lot more to his story than brisket and ribs. We talk about family, sacrifice, entrepreneurship, teaching others, and what it really takes to build a barbecue business. 🎙️ Catch the full conversation on the Black Smoke Barbecue Podcast. 📺 Watch on YouTube — link in bio. 🙏🏾 Special thanks to our sponsors @exhibitsupply and @hardercharcoal for keeping the fire burning! #BobbysBarbecue #WholeHog #BBQ #Barbecue #SouthCarolina by @blacksmokebarbecue

WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING TO BARBECUE? 🔥 We’ve all seen it. Restaurants closing their doors. Menu prices climbing. Portions changing. And barbecue spots that have been part of their communities for years struggling to stay afloat. But what’s really behind it? Is it the rising cost of meat? Labor? Rent? Utilities? Insurance? Or are we reaching a point where customers simply can’t afford to eat out the way they used to? The reality is, both sides are feeling the pressure. Behind every plate of barbecue is a business trying to pay its employees, cover rising expenses, remain profitable, and keep its doors open. On the other side are customers dealing with rising living expenses of their own, making tougher decisions about where and how often they spend their money. So where do we find the balance? How can barbecue restaurants remain profitable while still delivering the quality, portions, and value their customers expect? And what needs to change to help these businesses continue thriving in our communities? 🎙️ We’re bringing together two restaurant owners from two different markets for this conversation: 🔥 Tay Nelson — @eatbobbys | Fountain Inn, SC 🔥 Chef Dominique Leach — @lexingtonbettysmokehouse | Chicago, IL In a few weeks, they’ll join Black Smoke Barbecue Podcast for an honest conversation about the real cost of doing barbecue business today, the challenges they’re facing, and what it takes to keep moving forward. BUT BEFORE THAT CONVERSATION, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! 👇🏾 Restaurant owners, pitmasters, food truck operators, and barbecue lovers — what are you seeing in your communities? What do you think needs to happen for barbecue businesses and their customers to thrive together? 👇🏾 Drop your thoughts in the comments. We want to hear from BOTH sides, and your perspective may help shape our upcoming conversation. 🎙️ Coming soon from Black Smoke Media. #Barbecue #Brisket #Restaurant #FoodTruck #TexasBBQ by @blacksmokebarbecue
