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.
