Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 323: Brett McKinney, Richard Fergola


Listen Later

A few days after B’Mackin BBQ set a KCBS record with a near-perfect cook at the Burnt Offering BBQ Contest in Riverside, California, we talk it over on Episode 323 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast with San Diego’s Brett McKinney about how he and teammate Benny Watsman pulled it off. B’Mackin scored an amazing 718.8572 and just missed a quadruple 180 by a couple of judges slightly dinging them in the chicken category. McKinney said he’s still in happy shock over the record, but B’Mackin is no stranger to consistent excellent having finished top 10 overall in 31 of its last 34 comps dating back to 2022. McKinney said that less cooking - and thus more-relaxed expectations - has meant more success for the team.

We also check in with our friend Richard Fergola of Fergolicious BBQ. The Royal Oak Charcoal ambassador is charting a new career path in 2025 and doing quite well, teaching BBQ full-time around the globe while also promoting his six Richard Fergola BBQ spice rubs.

Charlie Wallace joins us from Grill Guys of Missouri to review the latest from the standout BBQ supply store in Republic. Co-hosts Steve and Lyndal also talk about their latest cooking adventures and review the Kansas City Chiefs’ 0-2 start.
