This week, it’s just Brian and Adam (aka Unki) holding down The Cool Fireman Podcast kitchen table while Doug and Matt are on duty. The topic? Food—our favorite firehouse meals, family go-tos, recipe wins, and even a few epic fails.

Brian shares highlights from a year of his recipes featured in the Burn Box and announces that Unki will be taking over as the Burn Box recipe guy for the next 12 months. The two swap their top three dishes loved at home and in the firehouse, discuss cooking techniques for brisket, pork butt, breakfast spreads, and easy griddle favorites, and debate everything from smash burgers to fat caps.

You’ll also hear:

• Brisket prep, smoking tips, and rest time debates.

• Why pork butt might be the most versatile cut for the firehouse table.

• The beauty (and danger) of breakfast casseroles and quiches.

• Unique dishes like easy cheesy shrimp sandwiches and quesadillas for a crowd.

• Hamloaf gone wrong, alligator done right, and cow tongue redemption.

• Unexpected flavor combos that actually work—yes, even cheese whiz & pico on a hot dog.
