🔥We’re hosting a Backyard Riiib-Off at our open house on April 11th! 🔥

This ribs-only competition is open to everyone. No pro teams, just backyard warriors. But your work will be judged by pro KCBS judges!

Have you watched rib competitions on TV and said “I can do that”? This is your chance to see how you stack up.

This is a fun, social event that ALSO raises money for charity. Come as you are, be as fancy or simple as you want to be. The main requirement is to make great ribs.

You’ll need to bring your own set-up: grill/smoker, tents, tables, and of course, ribs. You can set up Friday evening and stay overnight or arrive Saturday morning. We can help you load and unload your smokers and other gear.
