BBQ contest
Smoky cook-off event
A BBQ contest is a competitive event where pitmasters and cooking teams prepare barbecued meats—typically brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, and chicken—for judging.
Contests range from backyard cookoffs to prestigious sanctioned competitions like those governed by the Kansas City Barbeque Society.
Teams are judged on taste, tenderness, and appearance: Their brisket took first place at the BBQ contest.
