Hello Dead Meat Society,
Happy early Father's Day to all the dads in Dead Meat Society. If you're reading this, that means there's a good chance you'll be the one cooking this weekend. Drop this week's cook in the Dead Meat Society Facebook group or tag us on Instagram.
Now, here's what we've been cooking up all weekβ¦
First up, Father's Day is Sunday, and AmazingRibs put together the full BBQ menu (smoked brisket, Santa Maria tri-tip, baby back ribs with a sugar crust, and pulled pork done right). Also, Rodney Scott lost his restaurants but didn't lose his fire. And a flesh-eating parasite just showed up in Texas cattle for the first time in 60 years.

Every week, we crown the DMS champion of BBQ. And there are only two ways to enter: 1) Submit a pic to the Dead Meat Society Facebook Group 2) Tag us on Instagram. If you arenβt sharing (and competing), what the hell are you waiting for?
And remember, the stakes have never been higher!
Our weekly DMS Smokeshow winner will receive a FREE Stars & Stripes DMS T-shirt, PLUSβ¦
Each month, one of the weekly DMS Smokeshow winners (the best of the best) will have $1,000 donated to their local food bank

DADS, ITβS OUR TIME TO SHINEβ¦
Weβve been waiting for it all yearβ¦ Father's Day is Sunday. And if youβre a true member of the Dead Meat Society, there really should be no question whatβs on the menu Sunday...
Lucky for us, Meathead and the team at AmazingRibs.com put together a full Father's Day BBQ menu to bring some creativity to our plans. Here's what's on the tableβ¦
THE MENU
Smoked Brisket: Obviously, this is the king of Fatherβs Day. The best part? It takes all day, so no responsibilities will dare to get in the way.
Baby Back Ribs with Sugar Crust: A solid option to spend your day. Smoked until tender, finished with a torched sugar crust.
Santa Maria Tri-Tip: California's best contribution to BBQ. Itβs got big, beefy flavor, and itβs made to be a crowd pleaser. With beef prices where they are, this wonβt hurt your wallet quite as bad.
Pulled Pork: The low-and-slow version on the smoker is perfect for Fatherβs Day.
Pick one. Pick all of them. Either way, the family will be happy.
THE GIFTS (IF YOU STILL NEED ONE)
And if anyone in your life is still figuring out what to get you, Barbecuebible.com dropped their last-minute Fatherβs Day gift guide. Some highlightsβ¦
ChefsTemp ProTemp S1: Smart grill gauge, WiFi and Bluetooth, and four probes.
JK Adams BBQ Board: American-made, wide juice groove, and big enough for brisket. Plus, itβs nice enough to serve at the table.
VMAX-550 Propane Torch: Lights charcoal fast, sears steaks. Self-igniting.
And might we suggest a gift you will actually useβ¦

So, what are your plans for Fatherβs Day, Dead Meat Society? Letβs light up the grill and make some magic happen this weekend.
But whatever you do, make sure you send some love to the fathers all around us who make the world go round.
BBQ Hot Take of the Week
Last week, we asked: Are you buying any grill gear during Prime Day?
60% of you answered: βWatching a few deals closelyβ
This week, we want to know:
It's Father's Day weekend. What are your plans to celebrate?
*Check back next week for the results*

Like the memes you send back and forth in your group chat, except these wonβt get you canceled. Oh, and lots more grill marks.
π₯© RODNEY'S BACK: Lost his restaurants, then fired up a pop-up the same week. That's a pitmaster.
π₯© SCREWWORM IN TEXAS: A flesh-eating parasite called the New World screwworm showed up in Texas cattle for the first time since 1966. Its larvae burrow into living tissue and can kill the host. Did I mention beef prices are already at a 40-year high? The USDA is responding.
π₯© FANCY CAMPING: Classic pairingβ¦ the wine helps the failure go down easier π
π₯© CAJUN PARTY: Sticky, spicy, and impossible to eat just one π

Tips, tech & gear thatβll help you beat your friendβs meat. Wait, that came out wrongβ¦
π₯ BUTTER YOUR BURGER: Butter baste your patties. Turns out you've been leaving flavor on the table this whole time.
π₯ WEBER SMART GRILL: Men's Journal named it best smart gas grill of 2026. WiFi probe, sear zone, 10-year warranty. Letβs go shopping.
π₯ LUMP CHARCOAL CATCH: Hotter. Cleaner. Gone faster. Lump charcoal has one downside, and it will bite you mid-brisket if you're not paying attention.
