Taking you back to 2/23/2016 - This week, featuring a pitmaster by the name of Jim Burg from a team called Killer B’s. Back in those days, Jim was a highly competitive and successful BBQ cook on the KCBS circuit. Won a number of GCs…had a few interviews on the show for his accomplishments…and then came down with a horrific illness and almost died. Within the minutes of this show that Jon has put together, we talk about how he got into competition BBQ and what really drew him into staying in it. He actually won the 2014 Sam's Club National Title (when that was a thing).
I say it every week…but THIS TIME…hit the link for the full interview. This was a deeply moving segment and interview…and if you don’t remember it…or you never heard it…I think it is safe to say that this will be time well spent if you check the whole thing out.
Jim did recover and is still around today…not completely divesting out of BBQ comps…but is in a different chapter for the most part as we sit here in 2025. 
In any event, be sure to check out the show this Friday and then click on over for the full segment later and let me know what you think!
