From his home base in Arizona, Sterling Smith has been all over the world cooking, teaching and promoting his BBQ and Loot 'n Booty product line. On Episode 319 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Sterling reviews the journey that included competition cooking since 2009 and recaps 2025 visits to Hawaii, New Zealand and Croatia among other stops and a busy fall schedule ahead with tickets punched to the Jack Daniel World BBQ Invitational and American Royal World Series of BBQ.

We also talk it over with Charlie Wallace about the latest happenings at The Grill Guys of Missouri. Co-host Lyndal reviews the Tailgate Guys competition team's weekend trip to BBQ & Fly In on the River in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, and co-host Steve talks about a step out of the open-fire cooking box for a different kind of bird.
