An amazing weekend of bbq. Meeting old friends and making new friends from all over Europe it was really amazing.
🔥 WHAT. A. WEEKEND. 🔥
Smoke in the North 2026 — you were absolutely EPIC! ❤️🔥
What a weekend! Crazy good atmosphere, fantastic weather, amazing friends and an incredible crowd.
And our home for the weekend, Borås Camping… honestly, they deserve at least 15 stars out of 5! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Service-minded, helpful and smiling all weekend long. You guys were bloody brilliant! ❤️
Add a whole bunch of fantastic exhibitors, amazing sponsors, great food, smoke everywhere and some seriously talented BBQ teams — and you get one hell of a BBQ weekend! 🔥🥩🍻

And then comes the part where we try to thank everyone… without forgetting someone… which is basically impossible. 😅
❤️ THANK YOU to all our amazing sponsors.
❤️ THANK YOU to every single judge who gave up their weekend to sit down, taste BBQ and make very difficult decisions.
❤️ THANK YOU to all the teams who travelled from near and far and brought their A-game.
❤️ THANK YOU to all our exhibitors.
❤️ THANK YOU to every volunteer who worked behind the scenes, in the rain, in the sun, early mornings and late nights.
❤️ And THANK YOU to every single visitor who came to hang out, eat, laugh, cheer and make Smoke in the North what it is.
Without all of you, there is no Smoke in the North.
The Smoke in the North crew is already missing you all… and, despite being completely exhausted, we are already looking forward to 2027! 😂🔥
Same crazy crew.
Same love for BBQ.
Hopefully even more smoke.
See you in 2027! ❤️🔥
