Late post from last weekend… This one hits a little different!!!!! The New Jersey State Barbecue Championship in Wildwood, NJ — the competition where it all started for us. Fourteen years ago, when the kids were little and we cooked just one contest a year, this was our very first event. The memories from those early days are something special.
Over the past 2½ years, we’ve been able to compete more, sharpen our skills, and really dial in who we are as a team. Saying that winning Wildwood was a goal would be an understatement. This event brought together 62 teams with that same goal in mind — and we put together a cook to be proud of.
To take home Grand Champion this year… Absolutely Incredible. This was a full circle moment for all of us.
And now? We need to KEEP THIS THING ROLLING. We’re already planning our next few contests. Stay tuned……
Now for the results:
1st Chicken 180 (PERFECT-PERFECT) Springer Mountain Farms
15th Ribs Prairie Fresh
1st Pork Prairie Fresh
8th Brisket Snake River Farms
Overall Grand Champion out of 62 teams
Congrats to Boggs Hog BBQ Team on their RGC and everyone else who heard their name called this past weekend
Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!
