Pitmaster-Approved Recipes
Who doesn’t love a good BBQ recipe? We’ve been cooking competition BBQ since 2008, and a lot of what we’ve learned along the way ended up in these recipes. Some are straight from our competition playbook, others are what we make at home on a weekend. All of them have been cooked, tweaked, and eaten by us more times than we can count.
Bacon-Wrapped Onion Rings
These bacon-wrapped onion rings are smoky, crispy, and absolutely irresistible—perfect for game day, backyard barbecues, or anytime you need a next-level snack.
Raptor Claw Jalapeño Poppers
Named for their claw-like shape and fierce heat, Raptor Claw Jalapeño Poppers are a bold, spicy twist on the classic appetizer that's sure to leave a lasting impression.
Smoked Bourbon Brie
Hey Bourbon lovers! This crowd-pleaser will have you using your grill or smoker to make a melty, sweet, and savory appetizer. Want to add some smoke flavor? Throw a few pieces of apple or cherry wood on the hot coals.
Fire Crackers
We were introduced to this Fire Cracker recipe at the 2017 Jack Daniels World Championships. They're definitely spicy, but not too hot. And loaded with flavor!
Tequila Infused Bacon Candy
This candied bacon recipe was developed as part of our partnership with Cabo Wabo Tequila. We took thick cut bacon and soaked it in tequila before being candied in the barbecue pit with a citrus sugar.
