It's become one of the jewels on the late-season KCBS calendar, a doubleheader to cap the points season. But only a few days ago, the 4th annual Boo-B-Que was on the verge of cancellation. No worries. The Oct. 25-27 event in Oak Grove, Mo., will go on after Greg Hastie, who began the event three years ago but had too much on his plate to run it again, turned to contest organizer extraordinaire Corey Linton. We'll hear from both Greg and Corey about plans for Boo-B-Que on Episode 270.

We also catch up with the O.G. Bandits, Josh Farley and Ashton Smith. They won naming rights for the BBQ restaurant in the new KCI Airport at last year's Made for KC competition and now, six months into the year-long restaurant tenure, are launching their new O.G. Bandits food truck business. They join us with some details.

Meanwhile, co-host Lyndal reviews the Tailgate Guys BBQ team's failure at last weekend's Smokin' on the Osage while Steve breaks down his backyard cooking plans for the weekend ahead. That's after our weekly visits with The Grill Guys of Missouri and the Smoke 'n Magic Minute with Breana Via.
