Kingsford Charcoal is REALLY getting in to the wood pellet game! May 31, 2018

Show notes

(Hour 2 - May 29, 2018)

I turned Doug Scheiding from Rogue Cookers in back to back weeks and we talked about the BBQ Central Show karma, the Traeger grills Pro and Timberline grills, Traeger grills shop classes and Doug also gave us a tip on "hood down or hood up" when starting the new Traegers. Interesting stuff for sure!

Chris LaRocco, from Trae Fuels, joined me to talk about their agreement to make the Kingsford brand of wood pellets. Chris shared what Trae fuels is about, how they make their pellets, why they differ from what's out there and how they were able to secure the exclusive contract from Kingsford. My thought of Kingsford making a pellet cooker wasn't rushed off either...in fact, it sounds like it's something that might actually be happening at some point within the next year or so!
