BBQ Recipes, Smoker Tips, and Grilling Guides

I’m a husband, dad, and part-time pitmaster from Maine. On weekends, you’ll usually find me out by the smoker, sometimes cooking up a quick batch of wings for the game, sometimes doing an all-day cook with family and friends stopping by. And yes, the smoker keeps going through the Maine winter too.

Fire Up The Pit is where I share what’s worked for me: real smoker recipes, gear I trust, and tips to make BBQ more enjoyable, whether you’ve got 2 hours or a whole afternoon to kick back and cook.
