From basic charcoal hibachis to stainless steel supergrills, plus all the essential sauces, rubs, and accessories, Raichlen covers all the bases necessary to build viewer loyalty, confidence, and talent at the grill.

As a tie-in with his new book, Planet Barbecue, Season 3 follows Steven's round-the-world barbecue odyssey, exploring the tools, fuels, and techniques used by pit masters from Bali to Buenos Aires.
