Welcome in to My Dogs Are Barkin on MPW Digital, presented by Heath Riles Barbecue.

And speaking of, you guys hear me say that every single week, but we actually have the real deal in with us today.

Man, it is Heath Riles from Heath Riles Barbecue.

And Heath, the weather's a little chilly outside and being able just to be around a smoker, being around a grill and football going on,

like, is there anything better in life?

No, no, nothing besides maybe climbing in a deer stand.

That's about it, or duck blind.

That could be the only thing that can make this cool weather a little bit more enjoyable.

Yeah, man, there's so many, so many good things going on. And it's funny, whether your team's winning or not, like, at least you have the solace of like, you know what, I'm at least going to get some smoked meat today or like get some burgers or wings on the grill. I have several questions for you today. And so for several of our listeners who have started using your products or maybe maybe even some people who have just started, um, barbecue and grill and just over the last, you know, a couple of months, um, you're a guy that, that many people I've talked to, even in my own family, when they, they talk about how they've learned how to do things on the grill or smoker. It's about watching your videos. And that's how I actually discovered who you were.

But then you learn like all the competitions you've won and all the really neat things you've done.

There's a lot of good things to learn. Here's something I kind of want to start out with.

With people kind of been thinking about getting into barbecue and getting into smoking,

they don't have a ton of experience. Man, is there kind of a good number one tip for for someone just to kind of start saying, hey,

I got my smoker or I have my grill? What do I do now to make good stuff for my family and

friends? You know, I always tell people, if you're not familiar with smoking at all, I would

definitely look up some videos of somebody just like mine or myself

or something like that.

And it kind of gives you a timeline and a basis to go off of.

Because a lot of your grills are similar in style just made by different manufacturers.

So any of that will adapt.

And if you don't have our seasonings, you know, anything you have will work. I tell everybody that. It may not be as good as flavor, but it will work. Yeah, you do. You always mention that in your videos. You know, you don't have to use your seasoning. But I find it good just to be like, look, if I can trust people who do this for a living to trust what,

because, look, you can put, you know, a chicken rub on, on a steak.
