Join Steven Raichlen for Season 4 of Project Fire in our first ever urban setting and the gateway of midwestern barbecue: St. Louis, Missouri. Shot in Union Station. https://www.stlouisunionstation.com/, Season 4 episodes are jam-packed with new content, attractions, and recipes.

While in St. Louis, Steven invited some of the city’s top chefs and pitmasters as guests, from Balkan grill masters Edo and Loryn Nalic to David Sandusky of Beast and Earline Walker of Smoki O’s. Steven also had a visit with Diane Kochilas from My Greek Table.

Recognizing the growing importance of social media in the world of live fire cooking, Steven has also tagged some talented barbecue influencers to stop by and grill with him. 

Back again this year, even bigger and better, is the Project Fire Mystery Box, in which Steven receives a mystery ingredient and then spontaneously creates a recipe on the set. Other shows in this year’s lineup focus on Extreme Grilling, Game Day Grilling (our tailgating show), Wagyu Demystified and Sandwiches Hit the Grill. We even have a show on breakfast.

Pull up a seat and experience delicious new meals like: rib “wings,” turkey “ribs,” buffalo brisket burnt ends, and a tasty beef tenderloin grilled in a salt crust and wine-soaked cloth in the embers.

Season 3 of Project Fire takes Steven back to his roots - Baltimore, Maryland - where he grew up. From the rolling countryside of Maryland right outside of the city, Steven salutes the food of his hometown with an episode built around Chesapeake Bay rockfish (grilled on a cedar plank), a jaw-stretching triple decker pit beef sandwich, and a Project Fire first: Charm City S'mores.

The new season highlights twin themes of health and sustainability. The “Killer BBQ – Hold the Meat” episode explores the revolution in grilling vegetables. “Sustainable Seafood” focuses on under-utilized choices you can grill and eat with an eco-clean conscience. In “BBQ Health Food,” enjoy grilled fare from around the world that’s not only good to eat, but good for you. And of course, Steven’s home town trip will also include steamed blue crabs from the Chesapeake Bay.

“Planet Steak,” features three amazing steaks using three unexpected grilling techniques with some of the best beef on the world’s barbecue trail. And “Best Ribs Ever” contains three cutting-edge methods for cooking America’s favorite bones.

New this year is an Ask Steven segment, where viewers present their grilling questions and Steven responds with an in-show grilling demonstration. Also new this season, Steven receives a series of Mystery Barbecue Boxes and each box revealed to him contains a menu of surprise ingredients. Viewers can experience the master’s creativity at work as he creates a new dish spontaneously and in real time.

Steven Raichlen’s Project Fire - Season 3. Home town location. New recipes. New viewer involvement. And new grilling techniques you won’t believe. 

Following the success of Steven Raichlen’s Project Fire, the man who reinvented world barbecue is back with another sizzling season. More projects, more fire… and definitely more easy-to-follow instructions to help you take your grilling to the next level.

Filmed in scenic Steinhatchee, the fishing mecca on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Season 2 of Project Fire brings new grills, new fuels, new dishes, and jaw-dropping new techniques… from grilling fresh flatbreads in the embers to spit-roasting whole beef shoulder clod over wood, along with hot iron, smoky salt slabs, and upright stakes over a campfire.

The new episodes range from “Grilling with Wood” (inspired by a front-page story Raichlen wrote for The New York Times Food Section) to “Secret Steaks”, in which Steven takes you way beyond familiar T-bones and filet mignons to introduce such meaty up and comers as spinalis and segreto. Of course there will be brisket—in fact, a full episode is devoted to this epic meat in “Brisket 24/7” (Steven’s new brisket book is included with this offer). And you can “Shoulder On” with Steven as he tackles beef, pork and lamb shoulder.

The series will present some spectacular new ingredients from fresh hearts of palm from Florida and Hawaii to local redfish personally caught by Steven and grilled “on the half shell”. Wild mushrooms? Check. Beef tomahawks? Of course. Grilled pizza with ember roasted squash? We’ve got you covered. And see grilled cheese like you’ve never experienced. Yes, it comes flambéed with cognac!

Through his cutting edge recipes, Raichlen takes viewers on a journey across the U.S. and around the world, with episodes like “Chino Latino” where East blends with West, “Gulf Coast Grill” and “Tex Meets Mex”. And, if you’re wondering what else could possibly be new in the world of barbecue, don’t miss our episode on “The Best Barbecue You’ve Never Heard Of.”
