Arizona BBQ Festival

Barbecue competition is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. As more people realize that smoked meat is the closest thing we have to a national cuisine, they become interested in seeking out the top pitmasters from around the country. Our BBQ competitions attract teams from all over because we put up the biggest prize money in the southwest ($40,000) and our well-attended events are money-making opportunities for them.
