Welcome to Season 7 of the BBBQ and Tech Podcast! After a long hiatus, we’re back with Episode 1, where we dive into the smoky world of barbecue and the tech behind it. I’m your host, Rod Simmons, joined by pit master extraordinaire and now full-time barbecue professional, Chris Ashley.

In this episode, we explore Chris’s journey over the past year—from running his barbecue truck to upgrading his smoker and honing his techniques for the perfect reheat. Whether you’re a backyard griller or dreaming of turning your passion into a business, there’s something here for everyone.

Get ready for practical tips, fun stories, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to serve up delicious barbecue week after week. Let’s fire up those smokers and get started!
