Sterling Smith is wired to “go.” The pitmaster of Loot ’n Booty BBQ out of Scottsdale, Arizona, usually keeps a burning-hot pace, traveling the globe to promote BBQ and teach classes. How has Sterling handled the caution flag that COVID-19 has thrown the world? He tells us in Episode 69 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Show Podcast.

We also get the details on the revised Ozarks BBQ Fest, our hometown KCBS and SCA competition. Larry Krauk, event coordinator for Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield, Mo., previews the June 19-20 competition - in which we will be participating.

Thanks to our sponsors/marketing partners 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, DDR Fabrication DDRFab.com, Colaw RV and The BBQ League.
