Competition BBQ are barbecue contests where teams prepare BBQ meats that are submitted to a panel of judges who rate the various entries on predefined criteria. The common categories include pork ribs, beef brisket, BBQ chicken, and sausage. The competition BBQ events are usually accompanied by some sort of festival and are all day events. For the larger competitions, BBQ teams come from all across the United States pulling huge portable smokers to compete for the chance to win tens of thousands of dollars in prize money.

The Competition BBQ events range from small local and county fair contests to nationwide competitions with hundreds of thousands of people attending. For example, the Rib Cook-Off in Reno, Nevada typically has over a half-million hungry BBQ lovers attending the event consuming a 100 tons of ribs over six days while the nation’s finest rib cookers vie for the coveted first place trophy, cash prizes and the People’s Choice award during this ultimate end-of-summer family affair held over the Labor Day weekend every September.

Those competition BBQ teams have put in the time and effort – the blood, sweat, and tears as my Father-in-law would say – to perfect their recipes and techniques that result in succulent, mouth watering brisket, bone sucking ribs, and finger licking BBQ chicken that are worthy of the grand prize.

So how do you go from being a backyard BBQ enthusiast to a BBQ Competition Grand Champion? It takes knowledge, practice, some amazing recipes, and some good luck to make it to the big time. In addition, it takes thousands of dollars in equipment, recipe ingredients, and meat, in addition to hundreds of hours of practice.  You have to test everything – that’s right…everything!  You learn the hard, expensive, and long way.  You need to test different barbecue recipes every weekend, but along with those recipes, you need to test different cooking times, temperatures, rubs, sauces, glazes, marinades, brines, injections, woods, charcoals, fire techniques, water pans, and many other techniques to produce better slow smoked barbecue.

What if you could eliminate some of the time and expenses associated with becoming good enough to compete on a Competition BBQ team?  Good enough means that your BBQ prowess and skills provide results that taste every bit as good as the prize winning entry from this years BBQ competition.

Now…you can learn the secret barbecue techniques, tips and tricks of award winning BBQ Professional’s. You can learn to cook on a level that you never knew even existed.

Competition BBQ Secrets written by Bill Anderson of the Chatham Artillery BBQ team (Savannah, GA) exposes the “impossible to find” critical information needed to barbecue like a Competition BBQ Grand Champion.

Competition BBQ Secrets includes:

  • Very detailed and exact barbecue recipes to cook championship ribs, butts, chicken and brisket. Each one is cooked differently and is explained in it’s own chapter.
  • Cookers – the different types and how you can slow barbecue rib recipe smoke on anything from a professional offset smoker to your old trusty Weber kettle grill and everything in between.
  • How to smoke a turkey.
  • How your wood choice will impart that sought after smoke flavor and smoke ring.
  • How marinades, brines, and injections will improve the quality barbecue recipes.
  • You have to use rubs… your meats will be bland without them. We tell you all about them.
  • Your new book will also tell you how to properly use finishing sauces and glazes on your barbecue recipes – our raspberry vinagrette based “secret” recipe for chicken is worth the price of the book by itself. It’s by far the best chicken I have ever tasted and has won several awards across the country including 1st place in Barnsville, GA.
  • We also give you some great information on competitions, how to prepare for competitions, and even a checklist of what to bring to a competition.
  • A complete list of all the BBQ Associations known to exist with the web address for each. Each BBQ Association has it’s own contests and you can find their schedules easily with the information in your new book. We’ll also show you where you can get a list of all contests in one place.

Don’t take our word for it, read what these people had to say…

I have been doing competitive BBQ cookoffs for 5 years around Austin. I have a shelf full of cookbooks and your e-book is by far the best I own. I use the rib recipe to the letter and have had great success with it. Last week I tied for 1st in ribs at the Hays County Fair in Texas. That qualifies me for the national BBQ cook-off in Meridian, Texas next week. I have also won in 2 other major contests following your recipe in the past year. As an aside – I have been cooking the super-trimmed briskets lately. They are not less tender, juicy, etc than cooking a whole brisket. A lot less cooking space too! Since we only turn in 7-9 slices, sort of makes sense. PS – I always had trouble with ribs until I read your e-book. Thanks, Dave Bliss Texas-Que-Step

I wanted to let you know that your book is wonderfull , so much info. We used some of your suggestions along with our ideas and were grand champions at our 1st BBQ cookoff. Everyone should get your book–packed full of info. Tom Mashos Fossil, Oregon– Smok’n Hot BBQ Team

Just wanted to let you know how relieved I am to finally read something about competition bbq that is informative and gives actual guidance on how to produce real bbq. I bought your book yesterday and have already read the entire book and I will read it several more times to pick up on tips that you have provided. I will be entering my first competition in a few months and your book gives me the confidence I need to take the first step in the competition world. Please, please let me know if you publish anymore literature on competition bbq or if you make any kind of instructive video because you guys definately are passing on great information and not a bunch of recipes and BS. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful knowledge on competition bbq. Roger Adair Roseville, CA
