Show notes

(September 24, 2019 - Hour 2) In the 2nd hour, I will be joined by my crack team of Embedded Correspondents and sometime show contributor Stover Harger III, will join me for a special edition of the embedded Correspondents segments. Tonight we plan to cover 2 items on the agenda. Up first, we will usher in the class of 2019 - Best Guest of The BBQ Central Show Hall of Fame. The layout changes this year and going forward. Last year (the class of 2018), we ushered in a number of names to get the ball rolling. This year (and in following years) we bring in a class of 5 individuals. There are no categories or criteria other than having to have been a guest on the show over the past 12 years...that's a lot of potential people! Currently (4) are locked in but we will argue for the 5th tonight on the air! BBQ Central Show Sponsors! The BBQ Guru Big Poppa Smokers Smithfield Butchers BBQ...
