Six Backyard teams punched their ticket to the 350 Club this weekend.

Big Mike’s Smokehouse led the charge with a 353.1544, followed closely by Sassy Smoke BBQ at 353.1200.

Strong cooking. Trained KCBS Certified Barbeque Judges. Well-earned recognition.

Welcome to the 350 Club.

The 180 Club was busy again this weekend.

Twenty-one perfect scores made the list, including Old Virginia Smoke earning two 180s in the same contest. That will get your attention.

KCBS Certified Barbeque Judges were hard at work recognizing exceptional entries across the weekend.

Congratulations to everyone joining the 180 Club.
