Think you need a fancy toy hauler or trailer to succeed in competition BBQ? To that, we present Drew Davis, the king of canopy cooking. On Episode 348 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Davis and his simple approach with Razorracks BBQ proved again last weekend – winning the 125-team KCBS Smoke on the Shores in Lebanon, Tenn., that less can be more. Drew, one of the nation’s best comp cooks for more than a decade, talks about his approach to success and why Smoke on the Shores was a special win to him.
We also talk it over with Craig Verhage, the Chief BBQ Officer of Royal Oak Charcoal. Craig, with an extensive competition BBQ background, reveals how he got the monicker “The BBQ Ninja” and gives us a rundown of what’s new in the Royal Oak lineup of products for 2026.
Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve discuss their recent cooking adventures, plus talk March Madness and opening day in Major League Baseball.
