Kyle and his dad began watching a series called BBQ Pitmasters. They were immediately captivated and the show “lit a fire” under the duo, propelling them to learn to cook competition-style BBQ and eventually compete. That year for Christmas, Kyle bought Jerry a little offset smoker and the two got to work cooking almost every weekend, determined to teach themselves how to smoke meat on a competitive level. Competing in KCBS contests, Kyle has earned four grand championships (two in partnership with another team), 19 first place awards, 40 Top Ten calls, five KCBS ancillary 180 pins (with a perfect-perfect score, another rare feat in the competitive BBQ game!), and 14th place in the rib category at the prestigious 2021 American Royal World Series of BBQ Invitational. He also earned seventh place in the dessert category at the 2021 Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational BBQ competition in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Kyle has participated in more than food competitions in 11 states since he and his father started Your Behind BBQ. While Kyle enjoys the ride that Your Behind BBQ is taking, he's in the driver's seat — steering his fate and pursuing his next challenge. Continuing to compete in any type of food contest he can, he wants to see Your Behind BBQ become a household name. He wants to help teach moms and dads — the weekend backyard BBQ warriors — how to create outstanding meals to feed their family and friends, and perhaps open up a small restaurant one day. Meanwhile, he's happy chasing his dreams with no limits and having fun doing it… with father by his side.

We talk spice rubs on Episode 296 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast with one of the best in the business. Josh DeWitt began experimenting with spice combinations in his kitchen several years ago to begin a path that led to winning one of the industry's biggest awards when his JDQ Spicy was named Best Rub on the Planet in 2023 by the American Royal World Series of BBQ. Josh recently added a new JDQ Sweet Garlic rub to his lineup of JDQ Sweet and JDQ Spicy and he talks about the evolution of his still-one-man business - and touches on his competition cooking with teammate Jeremy Williams in a fun segment. In a couple of weeks, Josh and Jeremy will bring the JDQ knowledge to The Grill Guys of Missouri for a class on chicken and pulled pork for the backyard cook. Skyler Spartan from The Grill Guys also stops by with the latest news from their store in Republic, Mo., including a new product from Gozney that has attracted lots of attention. Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their own cooking weeks and visit about March Madness, one of the best times of the year for sports fans.  A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.

Competitive barbecuer Troy Bilbrough has achieved the best-ever result for a New Zealander at the American Royal World Series of Barbecue. 

There's no such thing as a barbeque 'season', according to Adam Winter. And he should know. He's the co-founder, along with wife Sarah, of a Kiwi barbeque rub company that's finding its feet in the land of big barbeque. The Four Saucemen's Manuka Hot Honey Rub took 6th place out of 900 entries at the world's biggest BBQ competition: the annual American Royal World Series of Barbeque. Not bad for a company that started in a home kitchen six years ago. Sarah and Adam Winter join Kathryn to talk about how a decent rub can transform your meat - and the heat that comes with cooking at the big BBQ competitions.

They have more than just a cool team name. We're talking about the guys from Burnt Skull BBQ. Joe Ricklefs, Adam Burch and Brandon Rose are friends from the Kansas City area who began their competition BBQ journey in 2023 and have had their walking shoes on ever since. Recently at the 44th American Royal World Series of Barbecue, in just its 15th KCBS competition, Burnt Skull finished an impressive sixth place overall in the 444-team Open. On Episode 286 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we talk it over with the guys from Burnt Skull about the outstanding result and how they've been able to achieve outstanding results so quickly. It's Thanksgiving week and Breana Via has some tips for the big day in our Smoke 'n Magic Minute. Need some supplies before Turkey Day? Then you'll want to listen to Charlie Wallace from The Grill Guys of Missouri who has some ideas. Co-hosts Steve and Lyndal review their cooking weeks and look ahead to their Thanksgiving cooking plans and take a quick tour of the sports world, touching on the Kansas City Chiefs' first defeat of the season.  Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #TeamRoyalOak2024 #charcoalofchampions The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq  The Grill Guys of Missouri #grillguys417 Smoke 'n Magic BBQ #SmokenMagic Vietti Marketing Group   Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm  

On Episode 285 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we talk it over with the newest major champion of the BBQ world. Kyle Kuhn of Hot Daddy's BBQ out of Grasston, Minn., reviews the competition BBQ journey of he and wife Amy from humble beginnings on a home-built offset smoker to winning the American Royal World Series of BBQ Invitational. It was the sixth Grand Championship of 2024 and 12th over the last three seasons and Kyle talks about the key to how Hot Daddy's went from simply good to consistently great as they learned to cook on Hunsaker Drum Smokers. It's also time for our monthly check-in with Richard Fergola from Proud Souls BBQ and Provisions Kansas City. “Fergie” reviews his American Royal and the strong showing by several Proud Souls-backed teams. He also offers some tips on how to smoke that Thanksgiving turkey like a seasoned pro. Brad Colter stops by for our weekly Smoke 'n Magic Minute, reviewing their busy American Royal and with some news of an upcoming brisket class.  Skyler Spartan of The Grill Guys of Missouri also stops by to talk about outdoor ovens and how this might be a great time to think about getting one, as prices have come down on some great models.  Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their cooking adventures of the past week and take a tour of the sports world, including a look at the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs' most-recent triumph.

Swing and a long drive, deep left field … back, back, back … GONE!  To borrow a baseball analogy, John Shirey II of Chunky BBQ hit the ultimate open-fire walk-off over the weekend at Kansas Speedway. Shirey and wife Stephanie won the 44th annual American Royal World Series of BBQ Open Grand Championship - a field of 444 teams from around the globe. Not only was it a major championship, it vaulted the Hershey, Pennsylvania team to KCBS Team of the Year honors by one point over 2023 champ Janky Leg BBQ. What a feat it was and on Episode 284 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with John about the thrill, the nerves, the aftermath, the exhaustion and what's next for Chunky BBQ in 2025. We also review our American Royal weekend where the Tailgate Guys competition team got to take a treasured walk for the third time in four years, this time with an 8th-place in baked beans. Some of our other scores also were pretty darned respectable as well (and some weren't) to cap a trip that had its challenges from a blown trailer tire en route to heavy rain on cook morning. A special shout-out to our friend Marty "Sign Man" Prather for supporting our Royal journey. Charlie Wallace of The Grill Guys of Missouri stops by for a rundown of their venture into competition at Wingapalooza in downtown Springfield, where they took home some hardware.  Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #TeamRoyalOak2024 #charcoalofchampions The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq  The Grill Guys of Missouri #grillguys417 Smoke 'n Magic BBQ #SmokenMagic Vietti Marketing Group   Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

We're off to the American Royal World Series of BBQ, but before departure we visited with some folks who are going to be a big part of the weekend. First up is Danielle Bennett, better known in the BBQ world as Diva Q. A championship competition pitmaster before launching a career as a television personality, cookbook author and brand ambassador, Diva Q will be honored on Saturday at The Royal as part of the 2024 BBQ Hall of Fame Class. She talks about her career and if she's offended by the term “female pitmaster.” As usual, she's a great interview. The next time we complain about the weather or wind or whatever when it comes to cooking outdoors, it'll be time to think of Shane Howard and Brenda Harrison. The Colorado pitmasters are blind - but return to cook their second American Royal this weekend as Blind Butt Limitless BBQ. How do they do it? It's far from a novelty act. Shane and Brenda finished 106th among 487 teams at last year's Royal and hope to do even better this time. Either way, they invited you to stop by and see them at space No. 347 and talk some Q.  We also check in with Breana Via of Smoke 'n Magic BBQ about their Royal preparation, and Skyler Spartan has the latest from The Grill Guys of Missouri. Meanwhile, if you're at The Royal this weekend, stop by and see the Tailgate Guys team at spot No. 168.  Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #TeamRoyalOak2024 #charcoalofchampions The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq  The Grill Guys of Missouri #grillguys417 Smoke 'n Magic BBQ #SmokenMagic Vietti Marketing Group   Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

Rod hits on several topics from an external IT report on what went wrong and why and he discusses the damage done to KCBS' credibility with its members and how to go about fixing it.  I encourage you to read the report, then listen to Rod's interview and draw your own conclusions.  Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #teamroyaloak2023 The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq  Clark Crew BBQ  The Grill Guys of Missouri Allquedup #arkassippicombo Vietti Marketing Group #marketing  Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

One year after winning KCBS Team of the Year honors for the first time, Ercole Chila and Uncle Pig's Barbecue Pit has brought home a Jack Daniels World BBQ Invitational championship home to New Jersey. Ercole joins us on Episode 233 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast to describe the tension and eventual elation upon learning that his team had captured one of the most-prestigious prizes on competition BBQ. We also review what's been another outstanding season for Uncle Pig's and what's ahead. Co-hosts Steve and Lyndal also talk about the demise of our hometown KCBS event, the $20,000 Ozarks BBQ Fest. It's where we got our competition BBQ start in 2015 as “Dr. L and the Meatheads,” where we took our lumps for several years and where we eventually got our first KCBS 180 and 700 pins - and nearly our first Grand Championship earlier this year. Turns out that's the last time for the event, which began a quarter-century ago under the Memphis BBQ Network banner. Summed up: It's another sad day as a great contest bites the dust, but not uncommon in today's world of shrinking quality contests. Meanwhile, we still await KCBS CEO Rod Gray to do a special-edition show with us to discuss what went wrong at the American Royal World Series of BBQ Open results. The BBQ world wants transparency and Rod has said he will give it, when he's fully researched the situation. So stay tuned.  Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #teamroyaloak2023 The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Clark Crew BBQ #clarkcrew Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq  The Grill Guys of Missouri Allquedup #arkassippicombo Vietti Marketing Group #marketing  Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

The American Royal World Series of BBQ Open results saga continues to be a big story and on Episode 232 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with the two pitmasters most affected by the initial scoring mistakes that led to a full audit and change in the order of finish.  First up is Jordan Kirkpatrick of Janky Leg BBQ from Benton, Illinois. Fifth overall at the awards ceremony, Janky Leg was elevated to the Grand Championship after the review. Jordan reviews the rollercoaster of emotions that saw him win BBQ's largest competition while missing out on the feeling of being crowned on stage, in front of a large gathering of his peers. We also chat about the red-hot KCBS Team of the Year race that finds Janky Leg and three-time TOY Gettin' Basted entering the home stretch in an all-out duel. We also get the perspective from the team that initially was announced as the American Royal Open winner. David Ellis of Machete Boys BBQ from Minneapolis has been a class act in how he handled the situation of thinking you've won The Royal only to find out 48 hours after receiving the crown that there were errors. Relegated to Reserve Grand Champion, David talks honestly about the need for KCBS to be totally transparent about what went wrong and how they need to fix the issues to regain trust from competitors going foward.

The American Royal World Series of BBQ is special to many pitmasters, none more so than Darren Warth. A three-time American Royal Open Grand Champion with his Iowa Smokey D's BBQ, Darren is ready to chase No. 4 this weekend when more than 500 teams converge on Kansas Speedway for the world's biggest BBQ competition. The man known as the “GOAT” for his two-decade run of success also will be inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame on Saturday, making it even more special. On Episode 230 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with Darren about the upcoming weekend and reflect a bit on his career, the restaurant business and why he's never been interested in teaching a BBQ class. We also talk it over with Joe Gera, owner of Keystone Que in Pittsburgh. Joe has celiac disease, a serious and potentially deadly disorder for those who consume gluten through cross contamination in the kitchen. Joe has a book coming out soon titled “From Scratch With Love, Professional Gluten-Free Home Cooking.” He discusses healthy eating and how to keep enjoying quality BBQ, even with a celiac disorder and about his Carolina-inspired BBQ sauces. Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve discuss their BBQ weeks and preview the Tailgate Guys BBQ team's upcoming trip to The Royal.   Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #teamroyaloak2023 The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Clark Crew BBQ #clarkcrew Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq #proudsoulsbarbecueandprovisions Randy Vanslyke and Pro Technology Solutions The Grill Guys of Missouri Allquedup #arkassippicombo Vietti Marketing Group #marketing  In the Garden of Eden Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

It's always a blast to talk open-fire cooking with BBQ Hall of Famer Ray Lampe, better known as “Dr. BBQ.” This is especially true as the American Royal World Series of BBQ nears and on Episode 229 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Ray tells us about what makes the American Royal so special for him, talks Turkey Smoke and gives his thoughts on some of the Class of 2023 BBQ Hall of Famers. Ray also gives us a rundown of his recent trip to Wales where BBQ has become a mainstream way of culinary life. Even the beer is cold these days in Europe. The American Royal theme continues as director of communications Allyssa King and event manager Kayci Vincent give us a preview of what the 500-plus teams and BBQ enthusiasts coming out to Kansas Speedway can expect as the world's biggest BBQ event is held next week.

Richard Fergola has accomplished a lot of awesome things in competition barbecue, but had never won his hometown KCBS event. That all changed last weekend as Fergolicious BBQ earned Grand Championship honors at Smokin' on the Trails in Gardner, Kansas. On Episode 228 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with “Fergie” about that, plus plans for a huge day of food, fun and BBQ knowledge that Proud Souls BBQ and Provisions has on tap Friday, Sept. 29 at the American Royal World Series of BBQ.  We also welcome Norris Sydnor back to the show after Baltimore-based Good Googly Goo - a Tailgate Guys BBQ Show “Under the Radar” alum - kicked off what Syd is calling the Triple G Ugly Tour with a $10,000 Grand Championship last week at the Primo BBQ Bash in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Syd has mapped out an ambitious schedule over the next month and we ask him about that, plus Good Googly Goo's pursuit of KCBS Chicken Team of the Year honors.  Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve also break down their cooking weeks, including a review of the team's performance at Smokin' on the Trails.   Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #teamroyaloak2023 The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Clark Crew BBQ #clarkcrew Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq #proudsoulsbarbecueandprovisions Randy Vanslyke and Pro Technology Solutions The Grill Guys of Missouri Allquedup #arkassippicombo Vietti Marketing Group #marketing  In the Garden of Eden Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

In addition to being one of America's great pitmasters, Fred Robles wears many other hats in the BBQ world. The 2019 American Royal World Series of BBQ Open Grand Champion runs his own butcher shop (Rio Valley Meats) in Weslaco, Texas, and is president of the Champions BBQ Alliance, a sanctioning body that's successfully into its third year. We talk to Fred about all of those things on Episode 219 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, plus ways to help out one of his Texas BBQ brothers who's battling cancer. Robert Sierra, a Texas BBQ icon in his own right, was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and Fred tells us about Robert as a great pitmaster and friend and how the BBQ family can help Robert with medical costs through Venmo (RobertSierraSPC) or CashApp (SrobertSierraSSPC). The Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast certainly sends our best wishes to Robert for a full and speedy recovery!

Byron tells us about how he came up with the rub, the origin of its name and why it's still a hit all these years later. We also check in with Nick Davis of Double Barrel BBQ about his upcoming Que For a Cause benefit competition in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

They're offering their knowledge in a unique “hands-on, behind the scenes” style with 1-on-1 classes in real time during competitions. Bill, who's also one of the nicer people we've met in BBQ, explains how it works and even how much it costs to take this unique class, as opposed to the typical 20-30 folks in a classroom tell-all. We also take a trip to southern California to find out more about 5th Gear BBQ with head cook Nick Barrick after the family team won its first career KCBS Grand Championship recently in Big Bear Lake, California, in their first competition of 2023.

Joe Pearce has been one of the world's top pitmasters for the last decade and 2022 is no exception. Joe's Slap's BBQ ranks No. 2 in the The Kansas City Barbeque Society Team of the Year standings after a frenetic run of success in July, with three Grand Championships in three weeks of cooking doubles. On Episode 176 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we ask Joe about staying mentally sharp, what it's like to cook with TV cameras around and which contest he would rather win if he could only pick one - the American Royal or The Jack? And could another SLAPS restaurant be coming to Kansas City? Speaking of the American Royal World Series of Barbecue, the world's largest BBQ competition is just a few weeks away at Kansas Speedway. We find out what teams and spectators can expect from Kayci Vincent, manager of BBQ, and Allyssa King, director of communications for The American Royal organization. Deadline for team entries is near and tickets for the general public are available at AmericanRoyal.com/BBQ A big thanks to our great sponsor/marketing partners who make Season 4 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast possible: Blues Hog The Butcher Shoppe Royal Oak Charcoal Iowa BBQ Store Fergolicious BBQ Randy Vanslyke and Pro Technology Solutions Allquedup and the #arkassippicombo Affordable Financial Services Vietti Marketing Group In the Garden of Eden and Marty "Sign Man" Prather and A&M Pizza Have a great BBQ Week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

Recently she was targeted to go against Bobby Flay and will talk about that in this episode. Since its founding in 2008, Burnt Finger BBQ has racked up countless awards on the competition barbecue circuit, including numerous State Championships, 1st place chicken at the prestigious American Royal World Series of Barbecue, and overall Top 10 finishes at the American Royal, Memphis in May and World Food Championships. Megan is going to cover economical meat alternatives while Dave and Andy will address smoking meat with a gas grill.

It's an honor to welcome a 7-time BBQ World Champion to Episode 163 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Show Podcast.

Mark tells us about the latest Memphis in May prize and what it takes to cook a bunch of 23-pound pork shoulders to perfection. It's always a good time for “Fergie Time” and Richard Fergola of Fergolicious BBQ helps us preview the Memorial Day Weekend with some great tips for backyard cooks. Richard will be on the road for the holiday, kicking off a two-week stretch out West with a competition in Nevada before hitting a KCBS doubleheader in Colorado next week. What's it take to prepare for a long outing on the road? Richards tells us.

Air Date: March 30, 2022 Welcome to Episode 196 of the podcast. Pit building and cooking great barbecue are an obvious match made in heaven, but it isn't often that you find someone making a business out of doing both. My guest this week is Brent Buschel and with Buschel BBQ and Bush Pig Pits he is doing just that. When he and his wife moved to Canada from Australia they settled in Toronto where Brent went to work at Adamson's Barbecue, starting as a dishwasher and working his way up to pitmaster. After the restaurant was closed during Covid, Brent and his wife decided to head west and settled in Water Valley, AB where he put his previous trades experience to work building pits. More recently they have started up a bbq catering business with hopes of maybe one day opening up a brick and mortar operation.

When it comes to meat, it means that it cannot be a forbidden cut and there are rules that must be followed for the slaughter of the animal and the processing. Pork is also forbidden. My guests this week represent a large group of bbq fanatics that follow the Halal principles. I am excited to welcome Zahed Ahmad, Neghae Mawla and Rehan Jaffrey from Halal BBQ Pitmasters to the show this week to talk about the group, cooking Halal BBQ and their motto of Bringing People Together With BBQ. I also want to give a special thanks to the guys for sending me some samples of their rubs. I gave the Teri Peri a try on some ribs this weekend and it has a great flavour!

How to Create a Low n Slow BBQ Masterclass is a common question that many BBQers are asking themselves these days. It's one of the ways that a competition BBQ team can raise funds to help them get to big events such as the Jack Daniels' World Championship and the American Royal World Series of Barbecue at the Kansas Speedway. Fortunately for us, Big Willy from Badass BBQ has pioneered the way and is sharing his experiences with us.  Badass BBQ are a staple of the Aussie BBQ scene. Not only are they low and slow Australian BBQ Pitmasters who have conquered the competition BBQ scene, but they have also harnessed their BBQing skills to create a business that has a line up including BBQ rubs, a beef injection, a pork injection and a lamb injection. In fact, their Voodoo Beef Dry Rub is a firm favourite in our household. The lads are equally well known for their ridiculously run Low n Slow BBQ Masterclasses which they have delivered all around the country. And that's what we spend most of our time discussing here.  In this Episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Big Willy and I get into: Making the move onto a Traeger grill and why he thinks they are the best pellet grills (5:47) Their first BBQ competition at Meatstock Melbourne, cooking on ProQ bullet smokers and a Silver Creek Offset Smoker (9:06) Opening up their spice rub and meat injection business (20:17) What a meat injection is and why it's important (27:30) How to Create a Low n Slow BBQ Masterclass (29:26) Tackling the Texas barbecue flavour profile while competing at the American Royal (47:53) Keep the weekend of the 26th and 27th of June free for Barbe-Con, where you'll get more from your BBQ. It will be the world's first virtual BBQ Conference. We'll be showcasing leaders of the BBQ industry with the Saturday being dedicated to smoking BBQ food including brisket and pulled pork. Sunday will be all about BBQ businesses. More details coming soon.  New to barbeque?

Welcome to Episode 26 of the podcast! Our show sponsor this week is Canada's BBQ School.

You will be shown the techniques that impress judges, and techniques that impress your family - they're not always the same! Participants will tackle 5 different meats, talk about ingredients, technology, cooking fuels, and different strategies to allow YOU to be the king or queen of the smoker. URL: http://bbqclass.ca/products-page/rob-reinhardt/ CURLING UPDATE: Team Chalifour is on a two game winning streak and has improved to a 3-7-1 record.
