The Smoke Ring Doesn't Lie

Three Ways to Win

🍖
Pork Ribs

Low and slow. Show us your smoke ring, your bark, and your sauce game. This is where BBQ reputations are made.

🍗
Chicken Wings

Crispy, sauced, or dry rub — bring your best wing. Judges are looking for flavor, texture, and execution.

🏆
People's Choice

Open category — beef, creative, or wildcard. The crowd votes. No rules on what you cook, only on how good it is.

Open Category

IBA rules and certified judging apply across all categories. This is an elevated backyard comp — come ready to cook, compete, and have fun.
