When you talk about consistent excellence in competition BBQ, few teams stand out over the last decade more than Rooters-N-Tooters from Tennessee. On Episode 328 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we talk it over with Paul Keltner about Rooters-N-Tooters sustained success, which includes three KCBS Grand Championships in 2025 - including last weekend's Royal Oak Invitational - plus overall top-10s in 23 of 25 competitions this season. Paul touches on what he thinks has contributed to the consistency and previews a busy home stretch of the season ahead.

We also check in with Skyler Spartan from the Grill Guys of Missouri with the latest from the Republic, Missouri, store and a big couple of competition weekends ahead for the team, including this Saturday's "Grill Guys vs. Grill Wives" showdown at Eggfest in Nixa, Mo. Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their cooking weeks and take a tour of the sports world while looking ahead to what's going on the smoker this weekend.
