Rough Cut Q

10/05/2026

It’s comp week again! This week we head to Bel Air, MD for the MD State BBQ Bash. We will kick things off on Friday with the 2-meat Tailgate which (most likely) will be our final backyard contest ever.

Then on Saturday the Storm & Park Pro Team reunites as we team up with Leaning Jowler Competition BBQ Team and hope to build on our last showing as we take on the 4-meat masters contest!

Come check it out, it’s a fun festival and should be a great weekend!

Can't wait to give these a try!

I know I’ve been telling y’all these were coming… well, here they are!

Your two new fall favorites have officially hit the lineup — my NEW Chili Seasoning and NEW Cajun Turkey Injection & Brine.

We’ve got chili season ahead of us, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and I’m ready to put both of these to work. I’ve got plenty of recipes coming your way, so stay tuned!

Some people want steak sandwiches, some want chicken? Doesn’t matter cause Heath Riles BBQ has you covered!

We can’t always cook outside, but Heath Riles BBQ rubs are great in the kitchen too. We used the new Steak & Chop to build extra flavor as we seared this chuck roast before it becomes Mississippi Pot Roast on a rainy football Sunday.

Always great to make this list- especially for the first time this year!

I wonder how many teams have a 350 and a 700 in the same year…

The Swine Doctor's BBQ led the way with an impressive 351.9656 this weekend, while Rough Cut Q was right behind with a strong 350.2744! Both teams delivered outstanding barbeque and earned their well-deserved spots in the 350 Club.

Strong cooking. Trained KCBS Certified Barbeque Judges. Well-earned recognition.

Congratulations and welcome to the 350 Club!

Back home, but still not dried out or unpacked from a whirlwind weekend in Delaware at the First State BBQ Bash! While we arrived to nice weather on Friday the rain and wind rolled in and wouldn’t end until long after we pulled out

Aside from the weather, this weekend looked a little different as we kicked things off with fellow Storm & Park Pro Teamer, Leaning Jowler Competition BBQ Team to cook the 4-meat masters comp. We had a lot of fun and liked our entries more than the judges, landing only a 9th place brisket call just as you would expect from a a couple of backyard guys- maybe it was the dusting with bit of Rub Yer Meat. While everything else was middle of the pack, we ended up 18th overall- not bad in a field of 39 great teams. Congrats to Mispillion Meat Works on the win and Susquehanna Smokers on the RGC!

On Sunday we went our separate ways and cooked two meats in the backyard division. We fought rain, wind, mud, dropped ribs and more but once again proved that when it gets tough you gotta put one foot in front of the other and trust the program (and yourself).

Chicken: 4️⃣
Ribs: 🥉
Overall: Grand Champion! 🥇🥇🥇

A huge congrats to fellow J Renee Burkholder who captured her first GC on Day 1! And a great showing from Phil Dixon who marked their 2nd anniversary with back-to-back RGCs. Crazy to think how far you have come from since we first met at your first comp two years ago! Congrats to everyone who heard their name called- it was great to hear so many newer teams get recognized.

Next up, we head back to MD for the MD State BBQ Bash on 10/9-10/10. First up will be the Tailgate on Friday in what will (most likely) be our final backyard contest. Then on Saturday we get the Storm and Park Pro Team back together for a masters cook!

Thanks again to all of our sponsors and partners who make this possible:
