(February 20, 2024 - Hour Two)10:14pm - Owner of Owl's Nest BBQ Supply Store, Steve Ray, joins me to recap the HPBExpo that took place in Nashville last week. Steve made the trip up last Wednesday and walked the show, took some pictures, met some folks and will tell us his thoughts on this year's convention. I am happy to have Steve back in the folks and look forward to his take on the event, especially since I went to the one in Nashville last year so we can compare notes!10:35pm - Coming out of the bullpen tonight is someone who has been a guest on the sow before, but has worn a different uniform. Seth Sawyer, this time of Current Backyard (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673619&msgid=1750599&act=5AMP&c=330077&pid=3161209&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.currentbackyard.com%2F&cf=104749&v=225f189e666a8d443c9b4cab69a28ae43260df66002c1fe22d5eb680336028d7), joins me to talk about the much talked about Current Full-Sized electric grill they brought to the 2024 CES show in Vegas. It has gotten plenty of media attention and buzz thrown its way, but tonight we will break down the guts of it, why it works, what the real temp expectations should be and where you can get one if you're interested. This is especially interesting for anyone who lives in a traditional live-fire restricted space/area.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!

How To

(April 30, 2024 - Hour Two)10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour is our new friend and sandwich making and rating expert, Barry Enderwick from "The Sandwiches of History (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673619&msgid=1751389&act=5AMP&c=330077&pid=3167934&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sandwichesofhistory.com%2F&cf=104749&v=9859b35fe7bbbeb09035b6550c7a1a460b6aa824b3545d760a05abfa33fafb70)" fame. Last time Barry was on, we talked about how he got into this whole sandwich making thing and how it has really caught on through his IG channel. Tonight we talk about some of his favorite sandos (and not so favorite sandos) since the last time we talked. Did you know that YOU can apply to be a "guest host" for one of Barry's sandwich videos...it's true! We will discuss that too incase you are a budding sando host as well.﻿10:35pm - Closing the show tonight is someone that, in my opinion, is changing the BBQ/Grilling game more than anyone else right now. Chris Young (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673619&msgid=1751389&act=5AMP&c=330077&pid=3167934&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.combustion.inc%2F&cf=104749&v=1b46b00dcdce3736887b66bd88cb83c91af9d8f2efc192b65813dcab2e62f295) shows up to tell us all about the benefits of resting your steak...or not resting your steak! He conducted experiments to show EXACTLY what is really happening when you rest those steaks or when you don't rest those steaks. Is there a difference? What do you do? If you haven't seen the video yet, you will definitely want to go back and check it out on his YT channel...it's amazing!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)Famous Dave’s All Star BBQ Series (http://www.worldfoodchampionships.com/allstar)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!Micallef Cigars (http://www.micallefcigars.com/) – Premium Hand Rolled Cigars

Sandwiches of History; Resting Your Steak Is Some Bullshit...FACTS!

(April 30, 2024 - Hour One)9:14pm - John and John (J2) McLemore join me to lead off the show tonight as we talk about their new book "Gather & Grill (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673619&msgid=1751389&act=5AMP&c=330077&pid=3167934&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGather-Grill-John-Darin-McLemore%2Fdp%2F0063351056%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fcrid%3D3VOA4NL4F5RZQ%26dib%3DeyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EHzJ5ou6HRUWuP5KaGY4JE4TbQru-efjaoL-xUaHc9MbpCSK1Y4iU9z4pJ63OE-i1aKG2h_ZFztOn-LQlfL57pssEtdVu9IwIyU9Ib9jFPtiS9ou5edkuHNR3bKLpcQNHeApjLUYv3OfIwYpRZyq8ZebO0stk_BTwN-SSkIAA457paw0KMm-zdcGrun_P3Juf2FnbgAGc253L0iAevaEUwd8yKEpkhaZW_QNoI5jT9s.uqVIgyc3T481RB_Z2kLWVRE_tZpv6C_8eW3K100m4Ag%26dib_tag%3Dse%26keywords%3Dgather%2Band%2Bgrill%2Bcookbook%26qid%3D1714226174%26sprefix%3DGather%2B%252Caps%252C183%26sr%3D8-1&cf=104749&v=4919736da84eb86d1367b06ecd2f8f112bcdf8be3b24244b42802eac5e6e6161)". Currently available for preorder, John and J2 will talk about the recipes that make it into the book, what those recipes mean to them and, of course, we will talk about how this book came together. What is especially interesting to me is, during their time of ownership at Masterbuilt, there was plenty of opportunity to drop a "brand-based" book but it never happened. Tune in for what will be a great segment.9:35pm - After The McLemore Boys, the creator of the World Food Championships, Mike McCloud, joins me to talk about two different topics. In no particular order, we will discuss the 2024 version of the Famous Dave's All-Star BBQ Challenge Series (https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=65673619&msgid=1751389&act=5AMP&c=330077&pid=3167934&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fworldfoodchampionships.com%2Fallstars&cf=104749&v=eeb36757ab2f41cf3c32f61b8f31d42785c47724b7b95c1e7eb4f36df470f1ec). We will also talk about the 2024 version of the World Food Championships and why they pulled up their steaks in Dallas and planted them in Indianapolis. Both are big topics and both need to be dug into a lot more!

Chris is one of the guys that I look to as one of the biggest names that effectively helped grow the art of using a real live-fire grill in the restaurant and commercial setting…there weren’t a lot of people doing it like that back then…in fact, Chris helped inspire many of the New England BBQ cooks to include Chris Hart from I-Que and my long-time man crush Andy Husbands…and, if being a successful restaurateur was enough…he also write many books on the subject, that to this day, are still widely considered to be thee reference material that helped move the industry forward…titles like “Thrill of the Grill” and “License To Grill” are still books people mention to this day as ones they use to help them become better live-fire cooks…so if you aren;t familiar with Chris…this is a great way to get introduced to a legend!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

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!
