Holy Smokers BBQ is a competition barbecue team with 3 Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) contests on record in 2022. Their best overall finish is 11th of 15 at the Boomer Backyard BBQ Cookoff (BACKYARD ONLY) (2022).
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.
