One of our favorite segments on the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast over the last couple of years has been “Under the Radar” where we visit with up-and-coming pit masters. Many of them have gone on to achieve success and we visit with one on Episode 306 this week. Bo Wheless of Bocephus BBQ out of Mayetta, Kansas, was on the show two years ago. He’s since won three KCBS Grand Championships, including last week’s Smokin’ Hot Cars & BBQ in Iola, Kan., where he soared past 700 to pick up the win. We visit with Bo this week to learn about his success and how he’s been able to pull it off.

We also review Memphis in May where Heath Riles earned his long-sought Grand Championship along with a third world ribs title in four years. It’s an encore presentation of portions of Heath’s appearance on the show earlier this month where he talked about why winning MIM would be so special.

We’re back next week. Until then, enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend!
