Hanging Out with Brian and Kirk from Smoke Staxx Pans

Episode 35: Hanging Out with Brian and Kirk from Smoke Staxx Pans

In this episode, I talk with Brian Halasinski and Kirk Hyust from Smoke Staxx Pans. If you’ve not heard about Smoke Staxx Pans, they’re a novel way to increase the cooking capacity in cookers like the Weber Kettle, Weber Smokey Mountain, Kamado Joe, offset smokers and more.

Like my talk with Chad at Kick Ash Baskets, this conversation with Brian and Kirk delves into the world of BBQ product design and production. I love these kinds of interviews because they allow me to get behind the scenes and learn from some of the successes and frustrations that eventually pop up.

Am I going to be making any BBQ products myself at any point soon? Um… no. But – we can all benefit by hearing stories like the one told here about the origins of the Smoke Staxx Pans brand.

Overall Fantastic Podcast

This podcast is great for anyone that has ever had an interest in BBQ, grilling, smoking, etc. The guests that are brought on to this pod along with the dialogue that Kevin has with them makes this a great podcast that would be enjoyable for anyone to listen to regardless if they liked BBQ or not. There is a great wealth of knowledge to be found in these pods, and each time I listen to the BBQ Beat I feel genuine excitement to go outside and try something new with my grill or smoker. Aside from all of this, the audio is great and the topics are interesting which makes the experience engaging for not only the guest on the pod, but also you the listener. Suscribe and listen often. I promise you won't be disappointed.
Great podcast

This is a great podcast for any BBQ guy or girl who can’t get enough BBQ culture in their lives. Kevin, the host, is very informative but let’s his guests speak their minds. He’s a great moderator, of sorts, that doesn’t get in the way unnecessarily. Lastly, the host is extremely well prepared for each interview. It’s top notch. Give it a listen!
Awesome

If you get it that BBQ is more than burning hotdogs on a propane grill, you could likely benefit from The BBQ Beat podcasts. Kevin interviews the best Pitmasters in the country. They share their knowledge, stories, and experiences. There is something to be learned in each podcast. So if you're serious about your bbq, check out these podcasts. They are time well spent.
