We've got a one-minute cooking tip about charcoal for your grill. And Bruce has an interview with Ryan Mitchell, co-author of Ed Mitchell's Barbecue and king pitmaster of the best North Carolina barbecue (along with his father). Plus, we'll let you know what's making us happy in food this week (and it's not barbecue!).Here are the segments for this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK: [01:03] How to tune up your grill for summer, whether you're using a gas grill or a charcoal grill.
