On Episode 56 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Show Podcast, we welcome Oliver Branch, Mississippi’s Heath Riles. Not only is Heath a 4-time Memphis BBQ Network Team of the Year, he has an award-winning line of rubs, sauces and injections. Two new rubs - Garlic Butter and Simply Citrus - are the latest additions to the Heath Riles BBQ lineup of rubs.

It’s been two years since Heath left the Victory Lane brand to start his own operation. Was there any trepidation about making that key decision? He tells us during a fun conversation.

Leading off the show is first-time guest Curt Harbers, lead pitmaster of the Fayette County Go Texan team that recently earned Grand Champion honors at the 252-team Houston Livestock Rodeo & BBQ. Curt tells us about how hectic life has been since winning one of BBQ’s majors.

Thanks to our sponsors who make the fun possible: Blues Hog, The BBQ Central Show, The Butcher Shoppe, Code 3 Spices - www.code3spices.com, Royal Oak Charcoal, Affordable Income Tax & Payroll and DDR Fabrication.

Have a great BBQ Week! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm
