Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 308: Alby Ranson, Thomas Gearhart

Alby Ranson and Scuffletown Smokers don't cook every weekend, like many championship-level BBQ teams. But the southern Indiana team makes the most of its opportunities, notching another World Championship recently at the KCBS World Invitational. On Episode 308 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Alby reviews the winning cook and talks about how the title compares to winning The Jack Daniels World Invitational last fall.  We also talk it over with Thomas Gearhart of Mudville BBQ, the 2019 American Royal World Series of BBQ Open Grand Champion. Thomas is still winning, but most the conversation this time focuses on his role on the KCBS Board of Directors, where he authored a report on a proposal to re-make the model of how Masters and Backyard teams are defined. It's a long ways from the finish line, but Thomas explains the process. Skyler Spartan from The Grill Guys of Missouri has the latest from the BBQ store in Republic, Mo. Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their cooking weeks and preview the upcoming weekend, plus happenings in the sports world.  A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.
