BURNT FINGER BBQ ahead in 100% of their meetings
BURNT FINGER BBQ has come out ahead in 3 of their 3 shared contests.
Off the trail for 6.1 years, then back at Kelley Wilson BBQ (KWBBQ) (2021-06-04).
Finished 5 of 31 at their very first tracked contest, Truman Heritage Festival BBQ Championship (2013-05-03).
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.
Full House BBQ has 4 rated contests — 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 95 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.
A longer road to the same neighbourhood — 6 contests to 4.
⚔ Head-to-headLevel with Full House BBQ on power rating, which is the whole reason they're on the list.
⚔ Head-to-headThey turned up 8 years after Full House BBQ did, first appearing in 2021.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 5 contests to 4, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.

⚔ Head-to-headTheir last contest in the data was back in 2018, 3 years before Full House BBQ's most recent — their rating stopped moving when they stopped cooking.
