Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 379: Chef Phillip Dell
Q: So how did you go from there to the road to becoming a chef?

Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 379: Chef Phillip Dell
Q: Tell me about your Whole Hog Cook over the weekend. How big was the hog? What did you cook it on?
Dell says they cooked an approximately 115-pound Duroc on a Yoder Smokers Cineron pellet smoker at the John Mayer Hog Festival. The hog arrived mostly frozen, so the team adapted its cooking schedule and won the grand championship.
Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 377: Brian Kennish, B's Que Crew
Q: Is there any significant changes that you made in your program once you started really scoring well last year? How would you describe why has made the difference?
Kennish says the team improved by practicing the timing and resting needed for meat to reach judges at its best temperature and texture. They now account for the delay after turn-in and have kept the same basic program through the season.
