BURNT OFFERINGS is a competition barbecue team with 14 Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) contests on record between 2013 and 2021. Their best overall finish is 17th of 29 at the Anchor City Cook Off (2013). They are ranked #5478 of 6,491 teams in the KCBS power rankings.
These overall scores sit on different scales (Master out of 720, Backyard out of 360), so they're kept separate — averaging them together would be misleading.
This team cooks the Backyard series — its own boards, records and Team of the Year are here.
