After careful financial analysis, rising meat prices, and several “constructive” conversations with my doctor, I have decided to officially transition Pound4Pound BBQ into a vegan-only establishment effective immediately.

We will now specialize in smoked water, grilled lettuce, and slow-cooked air sandwiches.

Thank you for your continued support during this exciting transition. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time.

Happy April Fools.

Couldn’t have worded this any better. ✅

🔥 THE REAL COST OF GREAT BRISKET (Most Folks Have No Idea) 🔥
If you’ve ever wondered why true, slow-smoked BBQ has a price tag… let me show you what happens to a single brisket over 24 hours.

This is the honest, behind-the-pit reality:

1️⃣ 18.4 lbs — straight out of the package. Big. Heavy. Full of potential.
2️⃣ 14.8 lbs — trimmed and seasoned. Hours of prep, and we haven’t even fired up the pit yet.
3️⃣ 8.35 lbs — after a 14-hour slow smoke. Perfect bark. Juicy. Tender.
➡️ And almost HALF the size. 😳

That’s a 45% yield (average is maybe 50% if you’re lucky).
So when brisket costs around $5/lb wholesale, that big 18+ pounder is already about $100 before it even touches fire.

But here’s the part most folks never see:

🔥 After trimming.
🔥 After smoking.
🔥 After babysitting it through the night.
🔥 After wood, seasoning, wrapping, rest time, AND labor…

You’re left with roughly 8 pounds of usable brisket, putting real cost closer to $12.50–$13 per pound before anything else.

So no… BBQ isn’t expensive because we want it to be.
It’s expensive because quality takes sacrifice — time, weight, labor, love, and patience.

And if you’ve ever cooked a brisket, you know one thing for sure:
There’s a whole lot of shrinkage in the heat.
(Fellas… you understand. 😉)

But here’s what matters most:

❤️ When you support local BBQ, you’re not just buying meat —
You’re supporting families, small businesses, long nights, early mornings, and the craft we pour our heart into.

Thank you for choosing local.
Thank you for choosing BBQ AndAPrayer.

Without horsepower, we can’t smoke. Beautiful day to split some oak firewood. 🔥
