Tailgate Guys BBQ Show, Episode 82: Chris Schafer, Nick Davis

<p>On Episode 82 of the <a href="tailgateguysbbq.com">Tailgate Guys BBQ Show</a> Podcast, we visit with two pitmasters having outstanding seasons on the KCBS competition trail and the co-hosts discuss their own open-fire adventures along with a sprinkle of sports.</p> <p>To say Chris Schafer of St. Louis-based <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/Heavysmokebbq/">Heavy Smoke BBQ</a> has lots of proverbial irons in the fire is an understatement. Heavy Smoke is going back-and-forth with <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/ManMeatBBQ/">Man Meat BBQ</a> atop the KCBS Team of the Year chase. We visit with Chris about that, plus his line of Heavy Smoke rubs, the decision to open a BBQ restaurant later this fall and his rapidly growing <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/allthatfor6pieces/">All That For 6 Pieces</a> podcast.</p> <p>Only in his second year of competitive cooking, Oklahoma firefighter Nick Davis has led <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/doublebarrelbbqok/">Double Barrel BBQ</a> into the top 25 of the KCBS standings. Fresh from a lengthy haul to cook in Augusta, Georgia over Labor Day weekend, we get the lowdown from Nick about Double Barrel’s rapid rise onto the KCBS scene.</p> <p>Thanks to our sponsors/marketing partners who make the fun possible: <a href="BluesHog.com">Blues Hog</a>, <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/TheButcherShoppe/">The Butcher Shoppe</a>, <a href="royaloak.com">Royal Oak Charcoal</a>, <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/bbqcentralshow/?ref=br_rs">The BBQ Central Show</a>, <a href="Affordabletp.us">Affordable Income Tax & Payroll</a>, <a href="ddrfab.com">DDR Fabrication</a>, <a href="colawrv.com">Colaw RV</a>, <a href="code3spices.com">Code 3 Spices</a> and <a href="thebbqleague.com">The BBQ League</a>.
