I've been fascinated and inspired by it since I was a boy. After 35 years of meddling with fires trying to conjure up the next best cook, I stumbled upon a larger purpose. I realized my \"why\" was less about the end product and MORE about the spiritual pilgrimage of primitive style cooking. The enjoyment of prepping wood, getting a fire going, establishing a coal bed... I love being entangled by the many challenges within a cook and that process became the gift I didn't know I needed. The theater of primitive style cooking is simply magical, carrying with it a therapeutic value that can only be measured by my genuine joy of cooking.​ Along the way my inspiration led me to launch Primitive Pits (2015), Workhorse Pits (2019), El Bandido Grills (2022) and The Wood Fire Mercantile , all now on one campus in beautiful Cleveland, Georgia. ​The Quetorials Podcast is a hodgepodge of my inspiration, fascination, tips of wood fire cookery. I hope you enjoy!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T10:18:41.136077+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quetorials-7582863"},"episode":{"title":"Which Wood Species Is Best For BBQ?","slug":"which-wood-species-is-best-for-bbq","published_at":"2026-03-17T23:09:48+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quetorials-7582863/which-wood-species-is-best-for-bbq","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quetorials-7582863","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/quetorials/2637552","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/354451/2637552/quetorials/2026_03_17_22_31_15_566496dc-a285-4aab-ba53-bc44e71d5fa5.mp3","summary":"Smoke, steel, and splits.
