Show notes

(April 11, 2023 – Hour Two)

10:14pm – Utah Embedded Correspondent and the owner of Salt City Barbecue, Rusty Monson, joins me to lead off the 2nd hour tonight. We have been visiting with Rusty over the past year getting updates with his growing food trailer business. Tonight we talk about the past 90 days, the most important things he has learned over the past 12 months, how to operate big events successfully and what makes a food truck/trailer good or bad.

10:35pm – After Rusty, I will take a few moments to recap the most recent episode of The Baseball and BBQ podcast hosted by Len Aberman and Jeff Cohen. If you haven’t listened to it, HERE is the link for you to check out. I recommend that you subscribe to their show especially if you are a fan of both Baseball and BBQ because their show covers both topics well. I was beyond humbled to hear their latest show that was specifically dedicated to me and the show getting into the BBQ Hall of Fame. I will take a few moments to go over this episode and thank everyone involved!

Episode 276

Taking you back to 4/12/2016 – A guy who showed up on here a few weeks ago and known as “The Keeper Of The Flame” over at Amazing Ribs dot com will be appearing this coming Friday…and believe it or not…this segment is the FIRST time that Max appeared on this show. Topic at that time was the “then newly released” Weber Summit Charcoal Grill…now known as the Weber Summit Kamado Grill…it was quite a release back then…and there was quite a price tag attached to that cooker too…Do you remember that this was NOT supposed to be a “Kamado Killer”…in fact, I did an interview at that time with Kevin Kolman, and he talked about how it wasn’t built to take ceramic market share…and then last year…Weber re-brands it as a “Kamado” cooker…Curious to say the least!

**Bonus Content: Broil King President – Terry Witzel. Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

Terry Witzel sat down with me when I was at the HPBExpo a few weeks back and we talked about the history of Broil King, when they got into making their own cookers and how they have expanded, both products and sales, over the past number of years. Broil King is a fully integrated North American manufacturer of gas grills, charcoal grills, pellet cookers and flattops. They have made a continuous effort to reduce the amount of business they do with China in order to get their products as close to 100% North American made as possible! Check out their full compliment of cookers on their website and then find a dealer near you!
