I came to know Candy first from her running the BBQ side of the wood pellet company “BBQ’rs Delight” but since came to know her as a competitive BBQ cook, eventually the President of the KCBS board…and a lady who has owned every pellet cooker known to mankind…has also retrofitted non-pellet cookers into pellet cookers…her most infamous job in doing that was converting a Jambo into a pellet cooker.In this show, which might have been the first time I had her on the show…we learn about how she got into the wood pellet business and how a chance meeting with another legend in BBQ, John Willingham…creator of the WHAM cooker…launched her into wood pellet sales for cookers…by the way…just another tie in to John Willingham…anyway…if you don’t know Candy…this is a great introduction to her…and if you haven’t tried BBQ’rs Delight pellets…you should check them out…they have quite a selection of flavors!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Jon is not typically into doing many Best Moments shows with recurring guests…for fear of overload…I don’t know if I agree with that thought or not…nevertheless…the subject we hit on back in July of 2013 was former Food Network icon, Paula Deen. You might recall, Paula had some issues with PR stemming from an account from a former employee that she had made some racial comments…also, there was a issue of her keeping back some info about her having Diabetes while creating recipes that certainly didn’t shy away from certain unhealthy products…and it all snowballed causing quite a media stir back then…and Sam shared his thoughts on both topics and if he felt that Paula was being sincere in her words or if she was just doing it to try and keep sponsors…great segment from back in the day that you will enjoy hearing this coming Friday!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

(July 9, 2024 - Hour Two)10:14pm - James Hou, co-owner of Winners Products, and the BBQ Central Show's expert in off-shore manufacturing, joins me again tonight to talk about how manufacturing companies approach an established brand to try and get them into their customer portfolio. How do they build ideas together, what things are sacrificed, what values are added and how do both sides maintain a relationship for years and years to come. We will also talk about how business usually runs and how that could leave you, the consumer, in the lurch in certain instances. We might be able to weave a topic from last week's show into the discussion as well because many of you were asking me about that specific pellet grill promo that is currently running. 10:35pm - Depending on how we end up with James, we will have some open time to do some giveaways and talk about some other live-fire topics.All this plus a new YouTube Poll Question of the week and results from lastThe BBQ Central Show SponsorsWinners Products Primo GrillsPitts & Spitts BBQ Pits - Use "charcoalcentral" at checkout for $150 Off Charcoal GrillsBig Poppa Smokers – Use promo code “REMPE” for $10 off your purchase of $50 or more!FireboardCookin PelletsFamous Dave’s All Star BBQ SeriesPit Barrel CookerFranklin BBQ PitsThe Butcher Shoppe - Save 10% When You Mention "The BBQ Central Show"JRE Tobacco – Makers of the Aladino (and other) line of premium cigars!
