Episode 439 Taking you back to 6/19/2009 - Being featured this week is the current KCBS CEO and pitmaster of Pellet Envy, Rod Gray. Before his CEO position, Rod did the competition circuit and all the way back in 2009, he was on the KCBS BOD where he served as treasurer. In this segment, we talked about why he decided to run for the board…and ultimately…why he chose to resign his position back in the early summer of 2009. I was talking to someone the other day about the history of the show…and as Jon Solberg has said many times…The BBQ Central Show is actually a real-time account of what has been happening, changing and evolving in the BBQ and grilling industry. If you wanted to get a snap shot of the industry over the past 2 decades…you really just need to go back and listen to the shows to see what was popular and important at any particular time between the years 2006 up until 2026.
