Teams like this (closest power rating)
The nearest teams in the power rankings, with a different reason on each card — six teams on one rating are rarely on it for the same reason. Rating decides who makes the list; where teams tie on it, the ones this team has actually cooked against come first, then teams at a similar point in their own career. KCBS doesn’t publish where a team is from, so nothing here is inferred from geography.
SMOKE GOLD BBQ has 1 rated contest — short of the five it takes to earn a power ranking — so this rating has barely moved off the 1500 every team starts on and 156 rated teams sit within a point of it. Read the list as the nearest company at a number nobody here has moved far from, not as a verdict on who this team belongs with.

One contest in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team SMOKE GOLD BBQ has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.

Hey, I’m Ross
Most folks know me as SaucyRossyBBQ . I built this Helper App myself and put it out for free, because I wanted the tool to exist for our sport — no paywall, no account needed.
If you’ve got it in you to chip in, it means a whole lot. And if you’ve already bought me a coffee — thank you so much. Your support pays the server and hosting bills that keep a system like this running.
You won’t see this again for a month. Now get back to it — good luck at your next cook. 🔥
