This week on the podcast, Spence is joined by Matt Messer from Cotton Gin Smokers, who stopped by the shop to fire up the smoker and treat the crew to a killer lunch. They dive into all things barbecue—from techniques and flavor to what sets Cotton Gin apart—and talk through the journey that led Matt to turn his passion into a business. It's a laid-back conversation full of great food, good stories, and even better friends.
