We now sit down with Mark Bower and go over his contest cook. He sent me some pictures of his boxes and we go over his cooking process. This whole Cooks Corner has been a huge hit and if you want to be a part of these episodes. Just email me at [email protected] and lets get to podcasting.

I had a listener, Mark Bower contact me and told me his favorite podcast to date we had done was one where I interviewed a first time KCBS cook. What that show was about is me giving my thoughts on his cook. Mark said he thought this was great for the back yard cook wanting to join in on comp cooking or a back yard division cooker trying to step up to the Pro division. Right off I asked him if he would like to do the same on a show. It has now sparked an idea of doing this monthly and just trying to teach and inspire more cooks to go cook.

I have the opportunity to talk shop with a guy that truly gives back to our bbq community. Then the both of us make a pledge to donate to the a worthy cause in the name of Bill Arnold. Just listening is all you have to do for this to happen. Tim explains how he acquired Blues Hog after starting Gateway Drum Smokers and how he was playing catch up learning the retail game we play.

Have you ever wanted to know the reason or thinking behind all those little displays around the cashier at your favorite store. Or even the displays that you bump into on a store isle.

This week we dive deep into learning about B&B Charcoal. We talk with Ed Reilly a representative and brand ambassador to the grilling community. You can tell he knows his stuff and his knowledge on charcoal is great to listen to. hearing his passion on wanting people to choose the right product for the cook comes across while we talk.

Anytime you get the chance to talk with a 6 time World BBQ Champion, you do. I ask Mark about how he got started cooking, the building of his business now called Sweet Swine of Mine Distributing. All his involvement with many organizations and you can hear the passion and ownership in his voice with each question I ask. And so much more.

This is a very short and brief podcast with me talking about what has happened to our podcast. I also ask for your opinion on a few subjects. It's short but it does explain the "Where's Waldo" of our show.

In this show Robby Royal from Rescue Smokers talk about his passions and what drives him to compete. I ask him about the week leading up to a GBA and KCBS event. He talks a bit about all the tv shows he was honored to be a part on. Then comes the fun stuff and the truth serum is injected. He floors me with one of his answers.

During this episode I get to talk with David Qualls. Pit Master of The American Dream BBQ Team, contest organizer, Certified BBQ judge, Board member from KCBS, and a private business owner.
