Grit & Soul tip
Cook to tenderness, not the clock. Time gets you close; feel tells the truth.

The memory belongs below the recipe.
Smoke food is patience made visible. The best part is how people drift toward the board before you call them.
Grit & Soul keeps the cooking directions easy to reach first. The story still matters, but it should never make someone scroll forever before they can cook.
