The Fireboard Beacon Is Close - Butter Basting Steaks Is Nonsense!

(October 3, 2023 - Hour Two)10:14 - Co-founder of Fireboard Labs, Ted Conrad joins me to talk about some new things that will be releasing into the market before the end of 2023. Maybe Ted will give us some hints on new things for 2024?? Ted also spent the weekend at the American Royal so we will get a recap from him. There was quite a bit of internet buzz going Sunday night as the awards for the Open portion ran into quite a snag. We'll get his take on the weekend and what he gets out of going to that event as a manufacturer of a BBQ/Grilling product.10:35pm - Are you one of the many that have been exposed to the "butter basting" your steak to finish it properly? As the video content began to grow, so did the steak cooking tutorials that all showcased an insane amount of butter and thyme sprigs going into a pan and then baste, baste, baste, baste...etc! Have you ever thought, "Does that really do anything??" Well, the creator of Combustion Inc and semi-regular contributor to the show, Chris Young, thought the same thing and he decided to put in the work and do a number of experiments to reach a final conclusion. The video is on his YouTube channel but we will go over it in-depth tonight!
