Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 354: Tim Scheer of Blues Hog; Ryan Eftink from Smokin' Brothers

Memphis in May is just one week away and on Episode 354 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we talk it over with one of the top contenders to take home the big trophy. Tim Scheer, whose Blues Hog team captured Whole Hog and overall Grand Championship honors in 2022, gives us a preview of the preparations. Those include the final days of feeding the three hogs that he raised on his east-central Missouri Marble Ridge Farm ahead of processing and and prepping the three 250-pound porkers for a date with one of his three Gateway mega-drums. Tim's segment begins at the 12:05 mark and he also talks about the ever-expanding Blues Hog line of products in addition to the company's NASCAR Truck Series sponsorship with Niece Motorsports - including the Talladega race with social media sensation Cleetus McFarland behind the wheel - later this season.  Then it's a visit with Ryan Eftink of Smokin' Brothers BBQ out of southeast Missouri, a company that has expanded its own line of all made-in-America smokers and grills with Myron Mixon Smokers and how the deal with Tim Scheer to take ownership of Gateway Drum Smokers came about last season. Smokin' Brothers and Blues Hog will be partnering at Memphis in May to sponsor the Kids' Q and both companies will have displays and demos at the Tiger Lane location in Memphis next week. Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their cooking weeks and preview what's ahead on their smokers this weekend. Check out the show on your favorite #podcast platform or on our Facebook page.
