So this week…you will hear the segment that I mentioned last week…with the one time host of BBQ Pitmasters…Kevin Roberts…AKA Dude Douche! So, just to clear a few things…Kevin does a preemptive strike on me to own the boiling rib thing…but then…he also stakes his claim to, PERHAPS, inventing the yellow mustard binder thing…or at least saying he was WAAAAAY out in front of it…so he hopes that years down the road that people will talk about boiling a rib…Kevin…15 years later…NO ONE IS DOING THAT IN THE INDUSTRY! So while you hit a home run when you invented mustard as a binder…you swung and missed with the par-boiling of ribs catching on within the BBQ/grilling world…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!

In this episode we were talking about the horse sensation “Big Brown”...one of the most anticipated horses in 20 years or so to have a chance at winning the triple crown…I am not hear to go out of my way to prove Jon Solberg wrong…and maybe he doesn’t think I listen to these shows before I post them…but I am not going to tell you what happened back in 2008 at the Belmont…you should go back and YouTube it.Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

(May 28, 20254 - Hour Two)10:14pm & 10:35pm - As we bring May to a close (if you can believe it) we will do the traditional 4th Tuesday of the month in the 2nd hour thingy...The Embedded Correspondents. First, we will run through an abbreviated 100% Assurity Questions list...and then, we will review and discuss the 2024 BBQ HOF stuff. This year was different than in years past where we had the announcements of the actual class AFTER the EC segment for the month. So we will have to run it a bit differently this time...but it will be fun nonetheless. Doug from Texas, Jon from Michigan, Rusty from Utah and Matt from Tennessee are all ready to bring the proverbial heat tonight!!All this plus a new YouTube Poll Question of the week.The BBQ Central Show SponsorsWinners Products Schwank Gills ­ Use promo code BBQCENTRAL and get $150 OFFPrimo 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!Micallef Cigars – Premium Hand Rolled Cigars

(May 28, 2024 - Hour One)9:14pm - Leading off tonight is, perhaps, one of the smartest men to have ever appeared on this show when it comes to the making of gas grills on the manufacturing side of the industry. One of the founders of Winners Products, James Hou, joins me tonight for what will be a series of interviews where we will give you some unprecedented insight to how this worked actually works. Winners makes the Sam's club grill I have been promoting the past 3 weeks, but as we talked further, we realized that there is so much we can share that will be both highly informative and equally as entertaining. James will be joining me from his home in Singapore, but he will sound like he in studio!9:35pm - After James, I welcome back a show favorite, and a personally favorite of mine, Andy Husbands back to the show after a 4 year lay-off. Andy was recently on the list of 10 finalists for the BBQ Hall of Fame this year, however, e did not make it into the Hall this year. We will talk about his take on the HOF, what the nomination meant to him and what value it holds with him to get in some day. After that, we will talk about his explosive growth in the BBQ scene in the Greater Boston Metro area...clocking in at 6 "The Smoke Shop" locations with more in the not so distant future.The BBQ Central Show SponsorsWinners Products Schwank Gills ­ Use promo code BBQCENTRAL and get $150 OFFPrimo 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!Micallef Cigars – Premium Hand Rolled Cigars

Teams that show up on the show always seemed to win that next time out. It always works…in fact…it never doesn’t work…and this segment talks about the way “the karma” works. There was a point in time where Melissa Cookston used to come on the show the Tuesday before the MIM contest because she believed that they had their best showings coming off a show appearance…by the way…she is right…they won a lot of hog titles and overall world titles after they did a segment on the show going into that weekend!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

As we look at me here in 2024...still not in the HOF...I take some time to talk about the "behind the scenes" work that I have done to encourage the HOF to be more transparent in their whole process. To their credit, they have become very open on everything, but, it wasn't always like that!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

(May 14, 2024 - Hour Two)10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour is, to me, one of the most important people in the history of modern BBQ, especially when it comes to bullet style smokers. Jim Minion, creator of the Minion Method, joins me to talk about his history in live-fire and how his method of firing up a Weber Smokey Mountain revolutionized how current and future generations of pitmasters would fire up their cookers.

(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" 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 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 ­ Use promo code BBQCENTRAL and get $150 OFFPrimo 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!Micallef Cigars – Premium Hand Rolled Cigars

(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". 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. 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.

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 16, 2024 - Hour Two)10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour tonight is quarterly guest and creator of the Hardcore Carnivore brand of products, Jess Pryles. 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?

But do you know where this "Minion Method" came from? It came from a legendary BBQ guy out of the Pacific Northwest named Jim Minion, who on a whim, tossed some lit charcoal on top of some unlit charcoal in order to control the temperature of the cooker on the way up. It was instantly successful and widely adopted as the best way to manage a charcoal fire for long cooks. It might be time to chase Jim Minion down and catch up!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own?? Email Jon Solberg and let him know what you would like to hear on a future episode!
