Kurt talks with Robert Vanderipe, Co-Pit Master of Smoke Me Silly BBQ Team out of Madison, AL, about how he got roped into cooking chicken after a dropout for his first competition, Smoke Me Silly getting back to their roots, Alabama BBQ and if it is a thing, doing competitions just for the love of cooking BBQ, and advice for the newbies who are fresh on the competition circuit.

"One of my favorite things is just going all over this country. Going to these small towns that normally nobody would go to and we get to experience their culture."
