Intro to Competition BBQ Class

Intro to Competition BBQ with Lucky 19’s Aaron Bourdage & Missy Fisher

Think you’ve got what it takes to turn your backyard BBQ into competition gold? Or at least not finish dead last? Join Lucky 19 BBQ co-founders Aaron Bourdage & Missy Fisher as they share a decade’s worth of competition BBQ wisdom—complete with triumphs, near-misses, and a few "what-were-we-thinking" moments.

Aaron & Missy have trained with some of the best pitmasters in the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) world. While they may not have a trophy case overflowing with bling, they’ve consistently held their own in the smoky, saucy, and highly competitive world of BBQ.

This class is perfect for anyone looking to step up their BBQ game—whether you’re a backyard warrior, a BBQ superfan, or just someone who enjoys setting off your neighbor’s smoke alarm. You'll learn:
How to pick the best rubs, sauces, and seasonings
Which meats and brands give you the best shot at impressing judges
The complete timeline and process for a backyard-level KCBS contest
And most importantly, how to survive a competition without losing your sanity (or your eyebrows)
