Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 372: Under the Radar with Team Cookie BBQ plus Richard Fergola

We enjoy talking to the biggest names in BBQ - and also shine some light on the up-and-comers. This week we go "Under the Radar" on Episode 372 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast to visit with a fast learner from Ohio, Chris Reed of Team Cookie BBQ. Along with having a unique team name, Chris knows his stuff on the smoker. In just 16 career KCBS Masters Series attempts, he's had seven overall top 10s, including his first Grand Championship last month at the Saxonburg BBQ Smokeout in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. Chris fills us in on how it's come together so quickly.  Richard Fergola also joins us for his quarterly visit about the latest happenings with Fergolicious BBQ and Richard Fergola BBQ line of products. "Fergie" has enjoyed a busy summer of spreading the good word of Q across the land with four new products now available. Now he's getting ready for the American Royal World Series of BBQ at the new American Royal complex and we get his thoughts on that. Ever had a raccoon scrounging around your smoker or grill? Co-host Steve Koehler has and he warns everyone to clean and cover your cooking equipment. Meanwhile, co-host Lyndal Scranton previews the competition side of the team's preparation for this weekend's Smoke Inferno in Edgerton, Kansas.  A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.
