What’s the secret to a perfect brisket that has your family raving for days? In Episode 28 of the Okie Smokin' Podcast, we recount our culinary escapades at a family reunion cookout, where we spent the night smoking two briskets and two pork shoulders to create a feast that was truly unforgettable. From the essential items and meticulous process involved in smoking meats to the unexpected delight of baked beans made with apple pie filling, we share our favorite moments and cooking insights.

Ready to spice up your meatloaf game? We’ve got you covered with our latest experiment: a jalapeno cream cheese meatloaf that turned out to be a smash hit. Learn how we combined ground pork skin, two eggs, SPG seasoning, Jolly Rogers jalapeno seasoning, and a sugar-free barbecue sauce to craft a meatloaf that’s both savory and sweet. Plus, we’ll debate the merits of cooking brisket fat side up and reveal the secrets behind our crowd-pleasing burnt ends.

Ever wondered what happens when you mix blueberries with habanero peppers? Dolores steps up to bravely sample our new Okie Smokin' blueberry habanero hot sauce, and we discuss its creation and versatility.

Don’t miss our preview of next week’s episode, where we’ll experiment with the hot sauce on smoked cream cheese.
