We began our journey of cooking in BBQ competition back in 2010-11 by traveling several KCBS events in Indiana and Kentucky.
During our first year on the competition circuit we surprised many including ourselves. We learned a lot, improved our methods, met a lot of great people and more than a few friends; all while having some fun and eating some tasty BBQ from time to time.
WeQ4u Competition BBQ Team
During this first year we have cooked in a total of 4 contests so far and we have received a total of 2 calls to the stage. Their awards have included, a 1st place call in chicken, 3rd in pork.
