How to Start a BBQ Team

First of all... why would you want to start a BBQ team? It’s more work than you can imagine and there’s very little money to be made. Maybe you’re just crazy or just crazy about BBQ. The truth about BBQ competitions is they are a lot of fun with a lot of good friends. And that’s why most BBQ competitors do it - for the comradery and the friendly competition. Sure... there are some of us that have a product to promote like a book, sauce, rub, catering company, or restaurant. We want the bragging rights like everybody else does.

BBQ Competitions...

BBQ Competitions are great fun and I encourage you to enter one in your area and find out for yourself how much fun they are. Our book “Competition BBQ Secrets” has helped many teams take Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion and many other high finishes in the four main barbecue categories... ribs, pork, chicken, and brisket. If you want to get your feet wet before entering a big contest, try just entering the “backyard” division in a local competition. That’s a category where you will only compete against other beginners and amateurs.

Competition Quality Ribs in Your Back Yard

Prepping your BBQ grill... Just about everybody has a Weber kettle charcoal grill in their back yard. You can smoke some pretty good ribs on these things. Here’s how to set it up so that you are “offset smoking” and not grilling... I simply start it up by making two piles of charcoal briquettes on opposite sides of the grill (away from the center). Make sure your vents on the bottom of the grill are open and not clogged with ashes. I then squirt my lighter fluid on the briquettes and light them.

The Barbecue Plateau

I know almost all BBQers or “slow smokers” reading this have done this before... you are following one of your favorite barbecue recipes, your butts or briskets are not done yet, it’s about dinner time or competition turn in time and you start to panic. You either crank up the heat in your smoker or give up on the smoker altogether and commit a cardinal sin by throwing your meat in the oven. What kind of half way decent BBQer would use an oven!? This all starts out about 3/4 of the way through your cooking time.

Top 14 Tips for Better Barbecue

Here is list of the 14 most important things to watch when slow smoking BBQ... 14. Proper ventilation. Make sure your firebox has enough ventilation. This helps to keep your fire burning properly and not smoldering. You want a light blue smoke - not a billowing white smoke. If you can, open the vents on your firebox all the way and try to maintain your cooking chamber heat with the fire alone. Always leave the smokestack vent open all the way. I have noticed lately that some smokers have bad designs where the fire is well below the firebox vents.
