With Thanksgiving knocking on the door, it's time to plan a menu and possibly incorporate the grill or smoker to make the big feast even better. On Episode 330 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, award-winning pitmaster, judge and BBQ promoter Christie Vanover of Girls Can Grill offers some ideas from her book: "Holiday Grilling: 111 Recipes to Celebrate the Season." Christie also reviews her BBQ year, which has inducted some top-10 competition finishes and judging at the Jack Daniels World Invitational. Check out her tremendous website girlscangrill.com for all sorts of info.

For the second straight week, The Grill Guys had a big weekend in competition themselves, this time cooking up chicken wings and Skyler has the recap. Meanwhile, co-host Lyndal previews the Tailgate Guys competition team's upcoming trip to the American Royal World Series of BBQ and Steve recaps his latest backyard cooking adventures.
