Welcome to the Meat Labs

Playing with food should be fun and delicious.

Whether you’re mastering that pellet smoker, smoking on a gas grill, a live fire master, or looking for a weeknight oven-baked dinner idea, we’re here to help satiate your craving.

We believe eating well doesn’t mean cutting out meat. It’s all about good flavors, clean food, and playing with your meat. Here, you’ll find hundreds of savory recipes, guides, reviews, and a little snarky banter from quick and easy meals, to low and slow cooks from an award-winning chef. We’re challenging the idea that great food has to be complicated and inspiring all cooks to dive it.
