S1 Ep8: Exterior BBQ Pit Maintenance & Patina Tips | BBQ Nerds Podcast Part 6

<div>
Welcome to The BBQ Nerds Podcast — the inner circle of barbecue. 
 This isn’t just a show. 
 This is a movement for the people who feel the call of the coal bed… who track airflow like meteorologists… who know their pit better than their extended family. 
 
If you’re here, you’re already one of us — a BBQ Nerd. 
 Not because you asked… 
 But because the smoke chose you. 
 
Hosted by Frank Cox, The BBQ Pit Engineer, this podcast reveals the fire, the science, and the secrets behind great barbeque. 
 Not the Instagram version. 
 The real version — where heat transfer, draft control, and meat structure actually matter. 
 
Every Tuesday, you’ll get short, high-impact episodes covering the sacred subjects, including: 
 

</div>
<ul>
<li>Fire behavior (the first commandment) 
 

</li>
<li>Airflow &amp; draft (the breath of the pit) 
 

</li>
<li>Coal bed mastery (the heart of the heat) 
 

</li>
<li>Direct heat vs offset (the ancient argument) 
 

</li>
<li>Brisket physics (the rite of passage) 
 

</li>
<li>Meat science (the truth behind tenderness) 
 

</li>
</ul>
<div>And as members of the inner circle, we also follow the sacred teachings of BBQ Nerds: 
 BBQ is spelled BBQ in all situations — but the enlightened spell it “barbeque” when writing it out… or “’que” when we’re communicating in the group chat during a long cook. 
 
People will try to correct you. 
 Smile knowingly. 
 They are not yet part of the circle. 
 (But they will be.) 
 
If you love barbecue deeply — almost spiritually — welcome home. 
 
New episodes arrive every Tuesday morning. 
 Invite another BBQ Nerd into the circle… 
 And remember: once you see the smoke, you can’t go back.
