(BPT) – Summer grilling season is here, and barbecue enthusiasts everywhere are firing up their grills. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or just starting your barbecue journey, there’s never been a better time to learn from the best.<\/p>\n

Two legendary barbecue champions, Myron Mixon and Rodney Scott, are not only sharing their beginner-friendly barbecue wisdom but also bringing their award-winning flavors to the canine world through Beggin’s new Battle of the Beggin’ treats, giving dogs a chance to experience authentic barbecue flavors.<\/p>\n

For those new to barbecuing, both pitmasters offer approachable starting points that won’t overwhelm novice grillers.<\/p>\n

“I would suggest taking any of the smaller meats like pork chops and getting really comfortable working on them,” advises Mixon, who has appeared as a judge on TV shows “BBQ Pitmasters,” “Smoked” and “BBQ Pit Wars.”<\/p>\n

Scott – who has been cooking whole-hog barbecue over wood coals since he was 11 years old – recommends “a shoulder or a ham. These are not very hard to cook at home. If you maintain your temperature, you can balance your time with the slow cook going on.”<\/p>\n

The secret to great barbecue, according to these experts, lies in the seasonings.<\/p>\n

“I personally recommend my rub recipe, which is salt, paprika, sugar, pepper, along with garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper,” says Mixon. For keeping meat juicy, he emphasizes equipment: “One piece of equipment you should invest in is a good meat thermometer. That way, you won’t ever undercook your product.”<\/p>\n

Scott, who in 2018 was awarded the James Beard Foundation’s award for Outstanding Chef: Southeast and has been featured on Netflix’s “Chef’s Table,” has his own approach.<\/p>\n

“I use a mop sauce technique with a string-headed mop to apply a thin sauce that’s supposed to help keep the meat moist while bringing out the essential flavors.”<\/p>\n

These same principles of flavor mastery that make great human barbecue have now inspired something special for four-legged family members. Mixon and Scott have partnered with Beggin’ to champion specialty treats that capture the essence of authentic barbecue flavors for dogs.<\/p>\n

“There’s nothing quite like the joy of barbecuing. I take great pride in crafting deep, smoky flavors that unite people,” said Mixon. “With Beggin’s Bacon & Beef Brisket treats, you can extend that same delight to your dog. My dog Roxie absolutely loves the Beggin’ Bacon & Beef Brisket treat, and I know your dogs will too.”<\/p>\n

Scott is going head-to-head with Mixon, as he champions Beggin’s Bacon & Pork Spare Rib flavor.<\/p>\n

“Barbecue isn’t just a cooking method; it’s a passion and a way of life for me,” he said. “There’s nothing like the satisfaction of creating rich, smoky flavors that bring people together. With Beggin’ Bacon & Pork Spare Rib treats, you’ll be able to share that same love and joy with your furry friends.”<\/p>\n
