With 2021 quickly approaching the finish line, we explore some of the storylines from the Year in Barbecue on Episode 143 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast with two of open-fire cooking’s top authorities. Ryan Cooper and Sean Ludwig co-produce The Smoke Sheet, a weekly electronic newsletter that curates the latest national barbecue news, upcoming events, top recipes and more.

Ryan and Sean provide insight on what we’ve seen and what might be ahead for barbecue in 2022 while also giving us a rundown of their barbecue backgrounds and how The Smoke Sheet came to be. If you don’t already, subscribe now at BBQnewsletter.com and don’t miss an issue. It’s FREE.

Meanwhile, co-host Steve Koehler discusses a themed family Christmas ahead, cooking steaks on a charcoal chimney and Grillgrates and joins Lyndal Scranton for a quick tour of the college and pro football world.
