Welcome to the pit! This crew is about real cooks, real wins, and real help—whether you’re comp-tested or backyard-bold. Kick things off by introducing yourself and sharing where you’re at, what you’re cooking, and what you want from this community. No gatekeeping, no ego—just results and a few laughs along the way. Drop your intro with: - Name & where you cook (city/backyard/comp team) - Cooker lineup (pellet, drum, kettle, gasser, offset—list ’em) - Signature win (your best cook) & most helpful fail (what it taught you) - Current goal (e.g., juicier chicken, rib color, brisket timing) - What you want here (tips, recipes, gear talk, accountability, honest feedback) Pic of your setup or a recent plate earns extra high-fives. Tag it #RealBBQRealResults so we can follow your progress. Let’s build something tasty together.

Welcome to Poppa’s Corner on Skool! To kick things off, here’s a message from Sterling “Big Poppa” Ball himself, sharing why he cooks and what BBQ means to him. His story is at the heart of everything we do — food as fun, connection, and creativity. We’re excited to build this community with you, where we can share recipes, tips, and a love of cooking together. https://youtu.be/3K_lQSkY9_w
