You Need A BBQ

That crispy smashburger crust. That gooey layer of melted cheese. Crispy bacon stacked high and a bacon-onion jam that’s sweet, savoury, sticky, and completely impossible to resist.

This is the kind of burger that requires extra napkins and absolutely zero regrets.

🔥 Smash it.
🥓 Load it up.
🧅 Finish it with bacon-onion jam.
🍔 Prepare to make it again.

The full recipe is on the blog. Hit the link in bio and fire up the griddle.

The word on the street is that the “girl grip” is trending online. Our team wanted to do a very special YNABBQ “grilling grip” to add to the mix.

🔥 That’s a wrap from the Montana Pitmaster Classic in Bozeman! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

We made the trip down from Canada to cook against a seriously talented field of BBQ teams, and here’s the full scorecard from today:

🐔 Chicken: 27th - 165.6800
🐷 Ribs: 28th - 168.5600
🐖 Pork: 3rd 🥉 - 178.8572
🥩 Brisket: 7th 🔥 - 176.5600
🏆 Overall: 16th - 689.6572

Definitely a tale of two halves today! Chicken and ribs kept us humble, then we came roaring back with a 3rd place pork and 7th place brisket to finish 16th overall.

That’s competition BBQ. Four boxes, four completely different results. You celebrate the calls, learn from the ones that didn’t hit, and come back better next time.

A HUGE thank you to Kenyon Noble and everyone involved in putting on the Montana Pitmaster Classic. These events take a ton of work behind the scenes, and the organization and hospitality this weekend were fantastic. We really appreciate how welcome everyone made us Canadians feel.

Thank you as well to the judges, volunteers, fellow competitors and everyone who came out to support the event.

We had a blast cooking in Montana, made some new friends, got our name called twice, and we’re bringing some hardware back across the border! 🇨🇦🏆🔥

Until the next one!

Having fun at the Montana pitmaster classic serving up giant meat skewers of bbq for the local YMCA.

🌽Mexican street corn
🍓smoked chocolate Dubai strawberries

What should we do next year?
