If we were to bring one thing back or make more often... what would it be?

With the cooler weather this weekend, why not stock up on our favorite charcoal and grill some burgers and dogs!

The Walmart on Hay 64 in Bartlett TN was well stocked on the B&B Charcoal Orange Briquettes AND they even had our favorite B&B Rub Chicken Scratch in stock!

We’ve been looking forward to these, and they’re finally here! 🔥

The new Heath Riles BBQ SPG and Steak & Chop Seasoning officially dropped today (July 29), and after trying them the other night, we’re already hooked.

We kept it simple and seasoned some fresh summer vegetables with the SPG, and they were packed with flavor. Then we used both the SPG and the Steak & Chop Seasoning on some really thick-cut pork chops, and wow...they turned out incredible! So much flavor, a great crust, and perfectly balanced seasoning.

If you’re planning to fire up the grill this week, these are definitely worth adding to your lineup.

Grab yours starting today at HeathRilesBBQ.com and select retailers. Let us know what you’re cooking first! 🔥🥩🌽

Sometimes Mother Nature wants to test your fire... and your fuel. 🌧️🔥

During our five-course Live Fire tasting dinner at Hard Truth in Nashville, Indiana, the skies opened up and dumped rain on us. Most fires would’ve waved the white flag.

Not ours.

Fueled by B&B Charcoal , the fire stayed hot, steady, and ready to cook every single course. That’s what really looks like. Less fighting the fire. More cooking incredible food—even when the weather has other plans.

Rain or shine, we’re putting smoke in the air and great food on the plate. 💪🔥

Huge thanks to B&B Charcoal for making a fuel we can count on when conditions get tough.

What an awesome weekend in beautiful Nashville, Indiana! 🔥

Team Ain’t It The Life fired up the pits at Hard Truth for Before the Char, where we had the honor of serving a 5-course live fire dinner on Friday night. It was an incredible experience sharing our passion for cooking over fire with so many amazing people.

Saturday was all about competition, and we’re beyond thankful for the results:
🥈 2nd Place People’s Choice
🥉 3rd Place Live Fire Competition

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who stopped by, sampled our food, cheered us on, and made this event one to remember. Congratulations to all of the talented teams who competed—it was an honor to cook alongside some of the best.

A huge thank you to our incredible partners who help make weekends like this possible:

🐖 for providing outstanding pork.

🛒 for helping keep our pantry stocked and competition-ready.

Also shout out to for an amazing fire table to put out a lovely meal on and for letting us use the El Dorado Santa Maria as well!

The fire is still burning, and we’re already looking forward to the next one. See you down the road!
