(August 7, 2018 - Hour One)

The first Tuesday of the month brings a visit from Dr. BBQ (Ray Lampe). I already have some great Facebook questions to go over with him. Rumor has it that his restaurant will be opening inside of 30 days and he will also be appearing at a BBQ event on the west coast soon. Find out what's real and what's FAKE NEWS!

Ever heard of the "Slow N Sear"? If you own a kettle style charcoal cooker you might already have one. Maybe you are on the fence if you should buy one or not. Dave Parrish, creator of the SnS will join me to talk about the product, what it does for your kettle and the best ways to use it!

Episode 31

What’s on tap:  In this “double-header” episode, You get to experience what appears to be me "punching through" some pretty bad cellular connections only to be "stunned" by a bad number.  The first guy I speak with is an impostor.  I don't know if he hit Patrick with an "upper-cut" and took the phone...it was a long time ago...but whoever this guy was, it WAS NOT  Patrick Banks.  This impostor "bobbed and weaved" through the initial line of questions...but in the end, "threw in the towel" and hung up.  THEN, the REAL Patrick Banks called in and away we went!  Sometimes it's worth "fighting through" the tech issues to score a "knock-out" of an interview!!  You can listen to the full show by clicking the link below.

(Hour 2 - July 31, 2018)

Randall Bowman from the KCBS joins me to talk about their new "National Grilling Society" venture. We will find out what it's all about, how it fits in with the vision of KCBS and how it competes with the ACSA and SCA sanctioning bodies. As time allows, we will also talk about the current state of competitive BBQ and what spotlight events are coming up in the next few weeks/months.

Closing the show is a long time show sponsor and accomplished BBQ competitor, Sterling Ball from Big Poppa Smokers. This coming weekend, Sterling and his partner, Scott Rodriguez, are putting on a Big Poppa's Backyard BBQ and Grilling class. We will talk about what the class will cover and, more importantly, see if Sterling and Scott will do anymore of these during the year. If you are in Sterling's neck of the woods and want to attend, check out his Facebook page for more info.
