Talkin’ BBQ with Rib Champion Heath Riles

On today’s episode of the HowToBBQRight Podcast, Heath Riles is the Rib Champion OF THE WORLD (00:15), which is a LONG way from his DIY Stick Burner days (02:20). Malcom wants to know Heath’s secrets (03:57), and we’ve decided On-Site judging is MUCH better than blind boxes (08:38). Should Memphis in May be back on The River next year (11:03)? His on-site judges ate the ENTIRE slab of Ribs (17:13), which reminds Malcom of his first pork judging experience (18:05). Malcom and Heath reminisce about the glory days of Internet BBQ Channels (21:39), and Heath talks about his new Retro Weber Kettle Grill (25:31). Heath spills the beans about his WORLD CHAMPION Rib recipe (36:37), and his latest recipe, Buffalo Rib Bites (39:00). Heath and Malcom have both built an empire around Youtube BBQ (43:11), and they’re preparing for Memorial Day with amazing food (46:12). Malcom is still in love with his Nacho Machine (49:20). Heath caught the Cooler Thief at MiM red-handed (51:09), while Jamie made a bologna chub “Christmas Vacation” style (54:58).  We’re getting closer and closer to our “Feed A Family” fundraiser (58:00), and Heath is competing in a few more BBQ Competitions, this year (1:00:06).

Winning THREE Trophies at Memphis in May 2022

On today's HowToBBQRight Podcast, we’re feeding TWO families for Palmer Home this year (00:43), and preparing for a SCA Cookoff in Melbourne, AK in August (03:33). We loved being on our own “tent island” this year for MiM (07:56), though that didn’t stop the thief that made away with Chell’s cooler (10:20). I turned in a modified Chick-Fil-A sauce for the mustard sauce competition (15:30), and Wright on Que got us FIRST PLACE in Turkey (18:23). Mikey was a true Wing-Man with his perfect-score recipe (22:53), and we were all glad when the Nacho Machine made it through the night of thievery (25:24). Outlaw BBQ brought us some technically perfect chicken drums (26:45), and our Wagyu brisket and filets were probably too much for the judges to handle (31:06). We were able to hold over our bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp (34:06) all the way through a severe weather warning (35:03). Kevin's Bison Ribeyes were just like Wagyu Beef (38:53), and I was officially declared “in charge” during the awards ceremony (41:34). Our ribs were torn apart by the blind box judges (45:10), but we got some amazing beer from “the Butter Man” from Minnesota (53:13). We narrowly avoided a sewage-smelling disaster on Saturday (55:09). We’re about to film a Memorial Day Grinder Sandwich recipe (57:53), and Chris from the H2Q Community won our “Best Rib Picture” contest on Facebook (1:00:10).

Kicking Off WCBCC ‘22, Backyard vs. Competition BBQ & Smoked Porterhouse on the Drum

This week, we’re gearing up to kick off our Palmer Home “Feed-A-Family” fundraiser (01:10), and Malcom’s excited for a local contest we’re helping coordinate (03:55). Malcom was officially declared the 2022 Margarita Master (06:53), which was still not as cool as the Nacho Machine we broke out again (13:10). Memphis In May Is FINALLY Here (16:25), and Malcom explains why he loves it so much (22:09). We remember that time I tried to ‘manifest” a Killer Hogs Win (28:34), and the crazy tent neighbors we had last year (29:54). We hosted a guy who got FIRED from his volunteer position (31:43), and accidentally kidnapped a stranger that one time (32:58). Malcom explains how to be the best-prepared sightseer at the competition (35:16). Last week, Malcom drum-smoked a Porterhouse Steak (37:10) and doused it in his “Bacon Tallow” Butter (46:57). We made BBQ Grilled Chicken Sammiches for Mother’s Day (50:00). I want to know what the difference between competition and backyard BBQ is (51:27), and Malcom reveals his TOP SECRET formula for PERFECT Competition Ribs (54:25). We have a whole selection of Bloody Mary mixes to try while we’re in the booth (55:16).

Hot Dog Burnt Ends, Flamin’ Hot TikToks & Cinco de Margaritas

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo here at Malcom’s Shop (00:22), and holding our Annual Office Margarita Competition (02:50). Malcom used The Force and a Lightsaber in a recent TikTok video (07:06), and also tried out Mountain Dew’s newest flavor in a margarita (07:47). Malcom is ALWAYS down for handouts from the Liquor Store (10:44), and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos make fantastic crust on Chicken Wings (12:37). Malcom and I develop a sure-fire way to end all kid sleepovers (19:00). Malcom and Greg Rempe ended their BBQ Round-Table discussion on The BBQ Central Show (20:20). The “Red Meat Disease” would end Malcom’s career (21:44), and we are in full force for our Annual Palmer Home Fundraiser (27:00). The Memphis Grizzlies have a GOOD chance of winning the 2nd round of the NBA Playoffs (30:03). I want to know if Malcom has tried Hot Dog Burnt Ends (34:39), and Kroger has been stocking Pork Belly (36:43). I found a super unique recipe on the Let’s Get to Cookin’ Community Page (42:47), and I rapid-fire some fan questions to Malcom (44:41). We’re hosting a Rib Competition on the Community Page (47:58). We are in knee deep in preparation for Memphis in May that’s NEXT week (50:30)!

White Meat vs. Dark Meat, Crawfish Season & Lemon Pepper Chicken Quarters

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, Malcom and I discuss the Memphis Grizzlies BIG win against the Timberwolves (00:20). Malcom made a Lemon Pepper Chicken Quarters (09:18), and I did a little research on the differences between White & Dark Meat (17:02). Malcom judged his first Crawfish Contest (23:35), and ate at a fancy-pants restaurant called Rizzuto’s (36:45). Michael almost caused me to commit “scooter-cide” on our ride together (41:20). We’re about to start a Giveaway for our Facebook Community (44:55), which has been providing some really cool ideas lately (45:40). Malcom’s got a hankering for a Crawfish Boil after last weekend (50:35), and we’re holding a Margarita Contest next week in honor of Cinco De Mayo (52:40). We’re also mid-preparations for our annual Palmer Home Fundraiser (55:30).

The History of Southaven Springfest, Vortex Grilling & BBQ Meal Prepping

On today’s episode of the HowToBBQRight Podcast, Malcom made some Lemon Pepper Chicken Quarters for a recipe coming soon (00:45), and he discusses the benefit of using a Vortex versus High Temp Pellet Grill smoking (01:44). He did some research and development on his newest seasoning (04:41), and boiling corn has never been more delicious thanks to a guy in Iowa (10:20). It’s going to be interesting seeing how different crawfish judging is from judging barbecue (13:50), and we’re eating good at a steakhouse outside of New Orleans, this weekend (19:01). I pick Malcom’s brain about the best steak he’s ever had at a restaurant (22:51). Swine Life and some of the guys around the office are practicing for WCBCC at Southaven Springfest (27:19), where Malcom got his start in Competition BBQ (28:00). There is a lot of “Showy-ness” to Competition BBQ, these days (37:30), and has come a long way from Malcom’s Strawberry Shots (40:19).  A member of our Facebook Community turned a tractor combine into a bad-to-the-bone rotisserie grill (42:28), and Malcom has Hasselback Sausage Sliders in his near future (44:24). I ponder how good coleslaw would be using our Mississippi White BBQ Sauce (45:10). What is Malcom Reed’s MUST-HAVE Weber Kettle Accessories (46:29), and Pork Brisket NEEDS to make a comeback to store shelves (50:25). What else is coming up this week, in the world of HowToBBQRight (54:00)?

Crawfish Judging, The “Old” Food Network & Easter Brisket Recipe

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, Malcom and I talk about the Office Dip Contest going down today (00:21), and the recipes everyone is making for it (02:43). Malcom cooked an Easter Brisket this week, (09:45) which he paired with a homemade gravy (19:12). He’s very particular about his plate arrangement (21:53), but we’re going Coastal with our family Easter Celebration this year (24:20). We went to New Orleans, and got KICKED OUT of a concert last weekend (26:20). I got served chopped grass at a fancy restaurant (30:15). Still, we’re headed back next week for the Metairie Crawfish Festival (32:15). Malcom and I remember classic Food Network shows (37:09). Be on the watch for a Chorizo Queso recipe to hit TikTok (44:58). We’ve got some surprises coming up soon (54:35), including our Second annual Margarita Office Contest (56:20).

The Co-Packing Process, Mississippi White Sauce & Southern Fried Fish

On today’s episode of the HowToBBQRight Podcast, Memphis In May is moving to Midtown this year (00:47), and there’s a new Outlaw Pit on Malcom’s wishlist (02:58). The latest and greatest Killer Hogs BBQ Sauce is now on the shelves (07:47), which formulates the age-old question about Mayonnaise shelf life (11:36). Malcom walks me through the process of bottling sauces and rubs (14:38), from finding a Co-Packer, to translating your recipe (18:41) and finally getting the new product on store shelves (28:34). We had a Fish Fry this weekend (31:18), with some easy and delicious Hush Puppies (35:02). Malcom insists he is still the Catfish KING (42:26). He’s perfected his crispy wings on the Pellet Grill (44:07). Walmart is now OFFICIALLY the place to buy steaks (50:22). Is it possible to hold a turkey, post-cook, for TWO days (53:33)? Malcom’s planning a BIG weekend in New Orleans (57:45).

NEW Traeger Timberline, Competition BBQ Secrets & Honey Jalapeno Ribs

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, I had my 29th Birthday (again) (00:20), right before a HUGE storm (02:00). Malcom made some delicious Spicy Jalapeño Ribs (03:42) complete with jalapeño honey sauce (17:50). He spills the beans on his “Bone-Out” magic trick for ribs (21:00), which isn’t nearly as impressive as the NEW Traeger Timberline XL that he cooked them on (24:35). The price tag on the Timberline is dwarfed by some grills I found online (34:07), though Malcom thinks he likes the Timberline’s “Pop-N-Lock” feature too much to switch over (41:00). Malcom made me a beautifully rare steak for my birthday (43:22), and some loaded baked potatoes to go with it (47:25). I saw a Tiktok for pastrami crescent rolls (48:58), which Malcom thinks might go well in the Air Fryer (50:36). Malcom’s got some exciting recipes on the works, so stay tuned (54:06).

People came from all over the country (29:22). We talk about the amazing Tuscan Pasta Salad, Brats & Hot Dogs Malcom and I made (38:22), and the delicious Tri Tip that he smoked like a Brisket last week (39:53). Tyler tells us about how cheap the meat in California is (49:00), and Malcom decides an Easter Brisket is on the calendar (51:30). We appear to have a spoon thief at home (57:20), and we’re knee-deep in prep for Memphis in May (59:00).
