We check in with Rod Gray, the CEO of KCBS, on what the American Royal means to him as a cook, as KCBS, and some great tips for first time attendees.

We were able to catch up with one of the all time big game cooks, Travis Clark with Clark Crew BBQ, who gives out some advice and thoughts, and a few laughs, about his favorite BBQ contest, the American Royal.

This episode of Pitmaster, an OVS podcast, is very special.  He rarely does these types of things, but he made an exception for his ol’ buddy Luke.  Does the Godfather of BBQ really need an introduction?  Please enjoy this episode with the incomparable Johnny Trigg with Smokin’ Triggers.

This episode of Pitmaster, an OVS podcast, features one of the all time greats.  This man has won more BBQ contests than most of us have even thought about.  He has great stories, great tips and is one of the best guests we’ve ever had.  Please welcome Mike Wozniak from Quau.

This guest has forgotten more about BBQ than most of us know. His rubs are legendary, as is his reputation on the competition circuit. Please welcome Chris Capell from Dizzy Pig BBQ!

Drew Davis with Razorracks has been on a tear. Top 10 overall in his last 11 contests, including 4 wins. One of which was cooked on a single Gateway Drum Smoker. This is a good one folks!

Luke takes some time to answer listener questions as the BBQ world continues to prepare for the upcoming American Royal. 

This week on Pitmaster, we have a legend. He's cooked competition BBQ for 20 years and over 700 contests. Please join me in welcoming Kelly Wertz from 4 Legs Up.

This week, we spend some time with past podcast guest and new CEO of KCBS Rod Gray, and talk about his first few days on the job.
