BBQ Pitmasters

For the last 2 years we have been cooking  competition BBQ, winning and breaking hearts. With the  experience of “Pitmaster” Steve Dixon and our closely-guarded BBQ secrets, we regularly turn-in some of the best slow-smoked meat cooked in the MBN barbeque  competition circuit.

Every year we take-on more and more  contests, go head-to-head with bigger and better barbeque cooking teams;  and refine our skills with each and every showing. This 2013 year we are  planning to travel all across the country with the KCBS and MBN Tours... showing off our skills to a whole new group of pit masters.
