Helping us celebrate Episode 300 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast is one of busiest and move-innovative people in the open-fire cooking world. Tim Scheer, owner of Blues Hog and Marble Ridge Farms joins us to discuss Blues Hogs’ sponsorship of a NASCAR team owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr., plus five new sauces unveiled this week to bring the lineup to a dozen. How does he come up with sauce ideas and take them to brain to palate? He discusses the process. Tim also tells us about a new partnership with Smokin Brothers, which will manufacture Gateway Drum Smokers. And finally, Memphis is May is a month away and Team Blues Hog has its sights set on regaining the World Championship it brought home in 2022.

Also joining us is long-time show friend Richard Fergola of Fergolicious BBQ, who’s especially upbeat after his Florida Gators brought home an NCAA basketball championship. “Fergie” has a new direction in his BBQ journey in 2025 as he’s taking his teaching skills on the road, with a special emphasis on helping the backyard cook. He also is expanding the branding of Richard Fergola BBQ Rubs into more and more locations. (Note: Fergie has a Ribs and Brisket class scheduled for May 1 at The Grill Guys of Missouri). 

Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve break down their recent BBQ adventures and take a quick tour of the sports world.
