    The Best Moments of The BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less

    Episode 439Taking you back to 6/19/2009 - Being featured this week is the current KCBS CEO and pitmaster of Pellet Envy, Rod Gray. Before his CEO position, Rod did the competition circuit and all the way back in 2009, he was on the KCBS BOD where he served as treasurer. In this segment, we talked about why he decided to run for the board…and ultimately…why he chose to resign his position back in the early summer of 2009. I was talking to someone the other day about the history of the show…and as Jon Solberg has said many times…The BBQ Central Show is actually a real-time account of what has been happening, changing and evolving in the BBQ and grilling industry. If you wanted to get a snap shot of the industry over the past 2 decades…you really just need to go back and listen to the shows to see what was popular and important at any particular time between the years 2006 up until 2026.

In this particular episode we talk about his participation in the first ever Sam’s Club local event…at this time in his career, Darren was doing a lot of “flying into locations” and cooking on any cooker he could get his hands on. The most impressive part of this, of course, is he was winning a lot of these events…or at a minimum…being very competitive.Of course there was a lot of talk about Sam’s and their participation in this event…the excitement of this new “tour” being launched…which ultimately became known as one of the best events in BBQ history…gone now…but obviously not forgotten.For those unacquainted with Darren…this is a good segment to hear the “calm” nature of the person many consider to be the best competition BBQ’er of all time.Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

As the weather starts to break...maybe...in various parts of the country (and world) it's always good practice to do a thorough cleaning of you grills and smokers. You should actually do this more than once per year if you are a heavy user. Remember, a clean grill is a healthy grill. Also, stop using wire grill brushes.
