Welcome BBQ teams!!!

We are excited to have you join us for the first annual BBQ for Bravery benefiting Beloved Roots Ranch for Veterans.

If you haven’t already, please visit each page in this website for more information on how we intend to help our veterans.

​​

A few notes about the competition:

  • This event will follow all KCBS rules to ensure a fair, competitive, and enjoyable experience for everyone.

  • Each team will be assigned a space, on a closed street for RV/Smoker trailers or food trucks. This is included with registration.

  • Each team will be placed according to their registration and power supply preferences.

  • Teams will be able to fill up their water tanks prior to being parked.

  • Each team will be paired with a local veteran who can help with prep work, cooking, or cleanup. This is a unique opportunity to bring our veterans into the heart of the competition—sharing the camaraderie, teamwork, and joy that barbecue events are all about. If your team has a veteran connection, especially to a particular time or conflict, please let us know and we will attempt to assign a veteran with similar experience.

  • We’ll provide each team with a pork butt to be smoked and pulled for the People’s Choice Award, giving the public a taste of your craft while showcasing your skills. There will be a cash award for winning the People's Choice Award.

  • To further support our mission, we ask each team to donate leftovers from your KCBS turn-in meats. These will be sold to the public, with proceeds going directly to Beloved Roots Ranch, helping us serve and celebrate those who have served our country. Please check the box on the registration form and let us know immediately if you will help us with this. Donation receipts can be provided upon request.

  • We do anticipate having access to parking for RVs on Thursday night as well as partner hotels for those wishing to stay in a hotel. Please let us know if this applies to you.

  • Food trucks will be required to pass an inspection by the fire marshall before parking.

  • Each team will be provided with two military-style event patches (see above) for their participation. Additional patches can be purchased through this registration process.

  • $6000 IN PRIZES* will be paid out to winners for:

    • Grand Champion

    • Reserve Champion

    • 5 places per Masters category.​​

       *based on 20 teams and increased for each additional team over 20​​
