Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Robert Moss - Author and BBQ Historian - Encore
Q: Were those trial and error recipes, and I don't mean the exact recipes, but the styles of cooking, or was that something that was brought over with them when they were enslaved and brought over to the country?
Moss says the exact origins are difficult to establish because documentation is sparse. He describes barbecue as emerging from the intersection of Native American, European, and African cultures, with African Americans doing much of the cooking in colonial America and developing key techniques.
Robert Moss - Author and BBQ Historian - Encore
Q: What possessed you to write this book, the original and then the revised edition, and then how long did it take you?
Moss began researching after finding no book on barbecue history at the library. He spent five or six years researching and another year or two writing the original, then later expanded it with further research and changes in barbecue culture.
Jim Haas, Regional Sales Manager for Blaze Outdoor Products - Afterhours Encore
Q: How did COVID affect the Blaze BBQ business, and how has logistics affected the barbecue world?
Haas says grill sales rose as people spent more time and money at home. Shipping and inventory were disrupted, but Blaze began using additional ports and warehouses to reduce delays and back orders.
Jim Haas, Regional Sales Manager for Blaze Outdoor Products - Afterhours Encore
Q: How long does it take you to develop something for a demo, and what's the process?
Haas says it depends on the event, time available, and how many people he will feed. He chooses dishes accordingly, sometimes making ribeye or pork roll sliders, and develops ideas as they occur to him.
Jim Haas, Regional Sales Manager at Blaze Outdoor Products - Encore
Q: How well does it hold heat compared to a ceramic counterpart?
Haas says the cast-aluminum Kamado holds heat as well as a ceramic grill. In a test with 10 pounds of lump charcoal at about 250 degrees, it held the temperature for almost 28 hours, with nearly two pounds of charcoal remaining when the test ended.
