(August 16, 2022 – Hour One)
9:14pm – As quickly as the close of former KCBS CEO, Emily Detwiler, came and went, a new CEO has been installed at the nation’s largest competitive sanctioning body for BBQ. You most likely have heard his name before, and back in the early 2000’s, he had quite a prolific team and personality on the circuit. Rod Gray, pitmaster of the Pellet Envy competition team and the creator of the EAT Barbecue brand of products, Rod Gray is the 4th CEO in the lifetime of KCBS and tonight we talk about why his interest was held for this position and what he plans to do as he takes over running the vision of the Kansas City BBQ Society.
9:35pm – After Rod, I will be joined be famed live-fire content creator and the founder of Another Pint Please, Mike Lang! Mike will be coming to Hartville Hardware (Hartville, OH) on September 17, 2022 to represent Weber during the 2022 Grillfest. Mike will be doing a live cooking demo and will also be available to answer any questions, sell his book and take pictures! We will talk about how the opportunity come about, why it hasn’t happened in the past (he lives in Ohio) and what he plans to make to sample out to the crowd that day!
