Thank you to sponsor of this episode: Green Mountain Grills________________________________________________Episode 378Taking you back to 4/1/2018 - Taking you back to me, tearing down the NBBQA Awards of excellence…only the awards…not the convention. This was an organization under a different management/ownership group back in 2018.This was actually a re-release from the show that happened…allowing myself to set up the rant a bit better than I did when it happened live on the show…so, if you like me and rants…you will want to take this Best Moments show this coming Friday.By the way…I will remain steadfast in my take on the AOE…you pay to enter…someone will win because they paid…and that’s it. The bottom line is, THIS SHOW SHOULD WIN EVERY YEAR…it’s not even up for debate…I am just that much better than every other show available…facts! In fact, I think there was ONE entry in the “BEST PODCAST” category this year…certainly less than 3…so you have 3 to choose form because that’s all that paid…I am always skeptical about these kinds of things…just me…but be sure to tune in this coming Friday to hear the classic rant.

Show notes

(April 8, 2025 - Hour Two)

10:14pm - Last week, Matt Osman had his chance to talk about the Owl's Nest BBQ Supply rib event...and how he blew it considering he had the show karma. Matt made some claims that some thought were pretty controversial...to include his use of a controversial/illegal fuel and him being a "ringer" to win the event. Tonight, Steve Ray himself comes on to talk about the things Matt said last week and give us his side of how the whole event went down. Steve is always great and tonight promises to be no different!

There was so much back and forth getting it put together…and Steve was instrumental in 95% of it…a classic that you have to go check out if you haven’t heard it.Maybe I should task John with a request of my own…John, do a Craig Bar Best Moments!!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Episode 376Taking you back to 2/26/2016 - Well, Jon has done it again. He has found a portion of show history that, quite frankly, I just totally forgot about. What you will here on Friday is the first ever "BBQ Round-Up". Now, I do remember this show...but I did not recall releasing it on a Thursday. However, this particular clips really gives you all the details on what this show was looking to accomplish...it was a pre-recorded supplement piece to the Tuesday show.Now, you might be asking why I forgot about it...easy...I think this show made it (2) episodes in length before Meathead from Amazingribs.com called me and said, hey...I like what's going on here...I have the Pitmaster's Club...and I am looking to get some recurring new content up there for the members...can I buy the concept and have you do the show for me? So we talked about it, agreed on what that would look like...and then "The Pitcast" was born...and did that show for Meathead for a number of years.Jon, showing why he is the best at doing the Best Moments show...always mining the gold from the archives...and happy to have him back in the fold for the upcoming EC segment!!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??
