Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 340: Chris Salsberry; Skyler Spartan & Charlie Wallace

Episode 340 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast features Chris Salsberry, whose Fred Vegas Smokers captured the Grand Championship at last weekend's 63-team Lakeland Pig Festival. That earned Chris an auto bid into the inaugural BBQ World Cup in 2027, an event that he says is getting people excited in the competition world. We learn about the origin of the name Fred Vegas Smokers while Chris takes us through his background in the competition world, ranging back to the early days in 2012. It's also time for our monthly trip to the Grill Guys of Missouri for the latest from Charlie Wallace and Skyler Spartan, co-owners of one of the region's hottest stores for all things BBQ. And co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their weeks, with news and notes from the BBQ world and a breakdown from the AFC and NFC championship games - with some early thoughts on Patriots vs. Seahawks for the big game on Feb. 8.  Check out the show on your favorite #podcast platform and find all 340 episodes since 2019 at tailgateguysbbq.com  A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.
