April 2024 Embedded Correspondents - Someone Got A Tattoo!!

(April 23, 2024 - Hour One)9:14pm - If you are a charcoal fan and you are looking for a way to light your charcoal that doesn't include a chimney, my first guest tonight is the guest for you! Bob Healey, creator of the Grill Blazer (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673620&msgid=1751344&act=19MP&c=330077&pid=3167543&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.grillblazer.com%2F&cf=104749&v=5b52cb2a3313b05f40e954c757e5ccec4ab382ad13823c3800ee2f53027e4d55), joins me to talk about the pair of "Grill Guns" he has created and is currently selling into the market. I have both of them and they work great...perhaps better than I even anticipated. We will learn all about creation of these guns, how they operate and why he put in a special safety feature that you NEED to know about.9:35pm - After Bob, I will be joined by the President and Owner of Primo Grills (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673620&msgid=1751344&act=19MP&c=330077&pid=3167543&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.primogrill.com%2F&cf=104749&v=fce8605c607b3e0b71c5e0038e1ccd5a1d2aa92b10ed461289f9dbf7bd5eccf6), Nick Bauer. Nick and I will be revealing the newly released Primo "XXL" cooker. If you had an XL and you didn't think it was big enough, then this is the segment for you! The XXL, in indeed, bigger than any other oval that Primo offers. Why did they make it and what is their market intention for it. Perhaps most importantly, what the price tag is and how you can put in your pre-order to be one of the first to have it!The BBQ Central Show SponsorsSchwank Gills (https://glnk.io/p9j9m/bbqcentralshow) ­ Use promo code BBQCENTRAL and get $150 OFFPrimo Grills (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.primogrill.com)Pitts & Spitts BBQ Pits -  (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.pittsandspitts.com/bbqcentral)Use "charcoalcentral" at checkout for $150 Off Charcoal GrillsBig Poppa Smokers (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.bigpoppasmokers.com) – Use promo code “REMPE” for $10 off your purchase of $50 or more!Fireboard (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.fireboard.com)Cookin Pellets (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.cookinpellets.com)Pit Barrel Cooker (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.pitbarrelcooker.com)Franklin BBQ Pits (http://www.franklinbbqpits.com/)The Butcher Shoppe -  (https://www.facebook.com/TheButcherShoppe)Save 10% When You Mention "The BBQ Central Show"JRE Tobacco (https://www.jretobacco.com/) – Makers of the Aladino (and other) line of premium cigars!

The Best Moments of The BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less

(April 16, 2024 - Hour Two)10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour tonight is quarterly guest and creator of the Hardcore Carnivore (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673619&msgid=1751251&act=5AMP&c=330077&pid=3166853&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hardcorecarnivore.com%2F&cf=104749&v=27f8d78b6c6347b5dbc342fca6248dc05ea50c984732fb3ed879bcd20795e368) brand of products, Jess Pryles (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673619&msgid=1751251&act=5AMP&c=330077&pid=3166853&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jesspryles.com%2F&cf=104749&v=6831899d2672b997219024816acd17f89e8fd182e7b5ad6faf4a6a8a1e164ecf). Tonight we dive into the very controversial topic of "meat washing". Over the past few months, I have seen an onslaught of videos showing/encouraging the process of washing your beef, chicken and everything else with something as simple as a rinse under the sink to more elaborate processes of rubbing salts, limes (bleach) and other items to "clean" your proteins. Tonight we will talk about the science of washing your meat, if it's effective and if you are actually achieving your goal of making your proteins "cleaner'...you might be surprised!﻿10:35pm - The bullpen segment tonight is guested by Tennessee Embedded Correspondent, Matt Osman. Matt has been diligently tracking the latest happenings of both Memphis In May and Smoke Slam and we will dive into those topics tonight as we are just weeks away from both events taking place. What's the latest gossip, who's competing where and which event is going to come out looking the best when the weekend of competition is finally over? Matt will give us his take on all of it.The BBQ Central Show SponsorsSchwank Gills (https://glnk.io/p9j9m/bbqcentralshow) ­ Use promo code BBQCENTRAL and get $150 OFFPrimo Grills (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.primogrill.com)Pitts & Spitts BBQ Pits -  (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.pittsandspitts.com/bbqcentral)Use "charcoalcentral" at checkout for $150 Off Charcoal GrillsBig Poppa Smokers (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.bigpoppasmokers.com) – Use promo code “REMPE” for $10 off your purchase of $50 or more!Fireboard (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.fireboard.com)Cookin Pellets (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.cookinpellets.com)Pit Barrel Cooker (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-16265/episodes/new/www.pitbarrelcooker.com)Franklin BBQ Pits (http://www.franklinbbqpits.com/)The Butcher Shoppe -  (https://www.facebook.com/TheButcherShoppe)Save 10% When You Mention "The BBQ Central Show"JRE Tobacco (https://www.jretobacco.com/) – Makers of the Aladino (and other) line of premium cigars!
