I've been baking nonstop this year, and I'm on a serious roll (05:14). Fantasy football has come down to the wire around the office lately (08:14). If you're shopping for Christmas gifts for a pitmaster, we break down exactly what you should be looking for (11:17), along with the absolute worst Christmas gifts we've ever received (15:45). Malcom shares his no-nonsense pitmaster gift guide (18:06), though gift wrapping is definitely not his strong suit (26:12). If you've got GrillGrates and want to add a nonstick layer, here's how to do it right (31:48). You can't go wrong with classic cast iron as a gift (34:58).
