What is Primo Grills Up To in 2021 and Derrick Riches Says KJ Has A Pellet Cooker That’s Coming Soon! Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

(November 24, 2020 - Hour One) Well gang, it's Thanksgiving week and the days are ticking by rapidly. If you aren't ready, or at least have your plan in place, we will offer some help...but it might be too late for the traditional stuff. First up, Nick Bauer from Primo Grills joins me to tell his fascinating story of "Family Business" growth and how they came to purchase Primo almost a year ago. You might be surprised to learn that Nick is not unlike you and I in that he had a Primo on his patio for years and was intimidated to use it. However, thanks to COVID, he forced himself to learn it and is now, obviously, its biggest fan! If you are a Primo owner you will want to hear about the new stuffing getting ready to roll out and if you are in the market for a ceramic cooker, you will want to hear what makes this cooker unique. After Nick, the bristly BBQ journalist, Derrick Riches, joins me in his monthly segment to talk about some trending BBQ/Grilling stories, offer his thoughts on the Primo cooker and give us a few Thanksgiving tips of his own!

Show notes

Many years ago, when they were just starting out, I had the owner of Ooni Pizza, Kristian Tapaninaho, on to talk about their venture into high heat pizza making and their over they were attempting to bring to market. After a very successful Kickstart Campaign, they were able to secure funding and hit the market...and they haven't looked back since. Now, they are growing both in market share and in size. They currently offer 5 different pizza ovens to meet your needs and some accessories to help you make the perfect pizza. Enjoy the segment and, if you didn't know about Ooni before, I am sure you will find this interview particularly interesting!

**Bonus Content – Primo Grills President, Nick Bauer, Stops By To Talk Primo Ceramic Cookers And Broilmaster Gas Grills** Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

The world of ceramic cookers had long been dominated by 3 companies. Big Green Egg is the most notable at the moment and has been for years, however, Kamado Joe and Primo are running up and you should take notice! In this bonus content episode, Nick Bauer, President of Primo Grills, joins me to talk about his unique story of entering the business and how he has helped grow the two lines of products they sell into the live fire industry. The parent company, Empire Comfort Systems, has been around for decades and owns both Broilmaster Premium gas grills and Primo. Nick discusses Broilmaster first and then we spend the balance of the segment talking about his passion project, which is growing the Primo line of ceramic cookers. If you have been in the market for a ceramic cooker you will want to give Primo a look as they are a bit different from the rest! I hope you enjoy this bonus segment and consider Primo for a future purchase!
