    Thank you to sponsor of this episode: Green Mountain Grills________________________________________________

    Episode 373Taking you back to 2/23/2016 - This could be billed as a “Back to back” of sorts…as the same show that produced the Jim Burg Killer B’s episode also produced this segment that you will hear this coming Friday…with what some consider to be the best competition cook of all time…Darren Warth of ISD BBQ. In this particular segment, Darren breaks down his entire brisket program…for you…the listener! Darren has said on many occasions that while he isn’t someone that does classes like many other cooks do…he is open to sharing his process if you ask him too…so I did…and so he shared. Is it almost 10yrs old…yes…if you have no idea how to cook brisket and you are looking for tips from a pretty good BBQ pitmaster…you might want to check out the show this coming Friday…and then punch into the whole show link to get the entire info set from Darren…who is also now a BBQ HOF’er.

Back in those days, Jim was a highly competitive and successful BBQ cook on the KCBS circuit. Won a number of GCs…had a few interviews on the show for his accomplishments…and then came down with a horrific illness and almost died. Within the minutes of this show that Jon has put together, we talk about how he got into competition BBQ and what really drew him into staying in it. He actually won the 2014 Sam's Club National Title (when that was a thing). I say it every week…but THIS TIME…hit the link for the full interview. This was a deeply moving segment and interview…and if you don’t remember it…or you never heard it…I think it is safe to say that this will be time well spent if you check the whole thing out.Jim did recover and is still around today…not completely divesting out of BBQ comps…but is in a different chapter for the most part as we sit here in 2025. In any event, be sure to check out the show this Friday and then click on over for the full segment later and let me know what you think!

    (February 25, 2025 - Hour one)

    9:14pm & 9:35pm - After an unsuccessful attempt at getting him on a few weeks back, the CEO of Memphis in May, Mack Weaver, joins the show in the first hour. Of course we will talk about some of the history of MIM, what the 2025 version is going to look like and what new events they have added as well. If you are someone who is looking to attend the event in May, we will also discuss what you can expect to see and do as a spectator. Also, since it's Mack's first time on the show, we will get to know him a bit...he's a pretty interesting guy outside of the Memphis In May International festival in a number of ways.

Call to order today: (850) 458-8782 and ask for Kevin! Mention The BBQ Central Show for 10% off your entire order!!___________________________________________Taking you back to 2/5/2013 - You know gang…there have been so many things that have happened on this show over the last, almost, 20 years…and the one we are bringing back this coming Friday is one of those where, if someone asked what my favorite part of the show has been…or guest…or segment…recency bias comes into play for sure…for, without Jon going back and listening to the old shows, I would have never recalled this one that you will hear Friday…Back in 2013…Chad Ward from Whiskey Bent BBQ and I made a wager… don’t recall what the specific wager was…but it seems I WON! I don’t know what my side of payment would have been had I lost…but I didn’t lose…so no matter. HOWEVER, Chad lost…and his side of payment was, that if he lost…which he did…he would have to come on the show and shave his head and his carefully manicured “chin beard”...which is very important to Chad…and Chad’s lady friend at the time, who loved the hair and the beard, is the one that actually did the shaving…I don’t have any idea where the video would be on this…but the audio is pretty great…so be sure to grab it this Friday!!

    (February 18, 2025)

    10:14pm & 10:35pm - Leading the 2nd hour is a true BBQ legend and pioneer. When one considers the great rubs that are available, this one continues to be mentioned year in and year out...and many consider this to be one of the rubs that got the whole "rub business" off the ground. Byron Chism stops by to talk about where he is in his BBQ career, what business he's getting into in 2025 and where he sees this industry heading to over the next 10 months or so. Byron always has great takes, a great personality and a great outlook on life! Be sure to tune into this one!
