Worth Smokin' BBQ

We had a great time at the 2015 American Royal BBQ at Arrowhead Stadium! Hanging out with all the bbq teams and having friends down make for a great weekend. At the open contest on Sunday we finished 38th out of 607 teams! This was our best finish at the Royal, we are pretty happy with the results.

Omaha's Septemberfest was our first contest this year! We thought it would be a good practice run before the American Royal in October. We ended up 13th out of 31 with a 1st place chicken call! Congrats to all who heard their name!

Beautiful morning in Omaha at Septemberfest! Enjoying the view of the carnival and downtown Omaha. The smoker is dialed in and ready to go! 🐓🐖🐄

Who's ready for some mouth watering slow smoked BBQ? Your in luck! Tomorrow, Tuesday June 23rd our buddy Doug Padgitt from Maryville will be on the Grant City Square selling BBQ to the 1,000's of bikers that will be coming through Grant City. Your not a biker? No worries he made enough for you to!! Come on up and see us! Our banner will say Worth Hollar'n BBQ. http://www.bigbamride.com/

Stepping up my game from my Sam's Club Choice Brisket that I've used for 6 years and won many awards. Cooked a SRF at the American Royal and loved it. Becky was afraid of that but you can't put a price on Awesome

Wings for the game on the drum! What are you cooking?

Yesterday we jokingly mentioned entering the Smithville BBQ contest to our good friend Doug from Toad Hollar BBQ and next thing you know we were there prepping meat! We patched together sauces and rubs on hand and was able to pull out 3rd place overall! Congrats to Jaestar on GC and Dirt Road on RGC!

Our 7th year at the The American Royal BBQ is in the books! Yesterday we did not please the judges at the invitational contest even though we were happy with our cook.
