But do you know where this "Minion Method" came from? It came from a legendary BBQ guy out of the Pacific Northwest named Jim Minion, who on a whim, tossed some lit charcoal on top of some unlit charcoal in order to control the temperature of the cooker on the way up. It was instantly successful and widely adopted as the best way to manage a charcoal fire for long cooks. It might be time to chase Jim Minion down and catch up!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

For instance…many many years ago, I had a conversation with legendary BBQ’er, John Willingham…off-line…a private one on one phone call for about 20min…the problem is…I DON’T REMEMBER ANY OF THAT! NOT EVEN ONE SECOND OF IT!! In keeping with that trend this coming Friday, you will hear what was the first interview I ever did with legendary BBQ cook and businessman, Byron Chism of Bad Byron’s Butt Rub…How is that “keeping with the trend”...easy…because I thought the first time I had Byron on this show was LAST YEAR when we did a great interview…and I was certainly sure that it was the FIRST TIME he had done the show…but, indeed, it was not…in fact he was on this show for the first time when the “live” show was only 2 months old!!!  Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??
