BBQ Brawl's Master of 'Cue | Erica B Roby | Blue Smoke Blaire

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Erica B Roby is a woman on a mission. Her mission: to become the best pitmaster in the world. And here’s a hint: she’s already up there with the best! Her work has been recognised around the world via her incredibly popular Instagram profile (@bluesmokeblaire), however it was when she was invited to appear in Season Two of BBQ Brawl from The Food Network that things really kicked into gear. Erica doubled down, got in touch with her pitmaster roots (she grew up cooking BBQ with her Dad, her business partner at Blue Smoke Blaire) and fought her way through the coals and smoke to win the competition and be awarded the title of Master of ‘Cue. Since then, she’s received a grant from the Kingsford Preserve the Pit program, which has the goal of preserving the culture and history of Black barbecue in America and investing in its future. Throw in some sponsorships with Pit Boss Grills, Dalstrong Knives, and Mason Hill Cattle, as well as a book deal, and you’ve got a pitmaster who is really going places! I have no doubt Erica is a future World Champion BBQ Pitmaster.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this full episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Erica and I get into:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How she likes to grill her Denver Wagyu Steak (3:46)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How being a stay at home Mom lead her to barbeque (9:49)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Her close connection to Salt Lick BBQ (16:09)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why she left being a lawyer to become a pitmaster (17:52)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How she came to be on reality tv show BBQ Brawl on the Food Network (27:58)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><sp
