If you are new to BBQ contests, the American Royal Backyard Barbecue and Steak Cook-Off is for you!
A Backyard Series contest is an inexpensive and fun way to get started with a barbecue contest. Come on out, join the fun and test your skills! The Backyard BBQ and Steak Cook-Off are two separate contests and teams are allowed to enter either one or both as long as you meet the KCBS definition of a Backyard Cook Team.
The Steak Cook-Off is open to ALL teams (Master or Amateur). Teams do not have to compete in the Backyard Contest to enter the Steak Cook-Off. Steaks will be provided–each team will receive two steaks. Judging will follow the KCBS Guidelines.
Registration is due by March 12. Click here for more information: https://bit.ly/26BackyardBBQ
