Teams that show up on the show always seemed to win that next time out. It always works…in fact…it never doesn’t work…and this segment talks about the way “the karma” works. There was a point in time where Melissa Cookston used to come on the show the Tuesday before the MIM contest because she believed that they had their best showings coming off a show appearance…by the way…she is right…they won a lot of hog titles and overall world titles after they did a segment on the show going into that weekend!

In this Best Moments segment, I was joined by my parents (on the phone) as they gave me their condolences on NOT being picked for the BBQ HOF again! As we look at me here in 2024...still not in the HOF...I take some time to talk about the "behind the scenes" work that I have done to encourage the HOF to be more transparent in their whole process. To their credit, they have become very open on everything, but, it wasn't always like that!

The Guy Who Invented The Minion Method Is Here! May 16, 2024

Show notes

(May 14, 2024 - Hour Two)

10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour is, to me, one of the most important people in the history of modern BBQ, especially when it comes to bullet style smokers. Jim Minion, creator of the Minion Method, joins me to talk about his history in live-fire and how his method of firing up a Weber Smokey Mountain revolutionized how current and future generations of pitmasters would fire up their cookers. Join me for what will surely be an incredible segment.
