The heartbreaker
Came within 0.5828 points of the Grand Championship at Red White & Que - CAMPGROUND BBQ SERIES (Day 2) (Oct 19, 2024).
Oink N' Doink BBQ is a competition barbecue team with 50 Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) contests on record between 2021 and 2026. They have won 1 Grand Championship, at the K.S. Que (BACKYARD ONLY) (2024), and finished Reserve Grand Champion 5 times. They are ranked #391 of 6,476 teams in the KCBS power rankings. Also listed in KCBS results as “Oink N Doink BBQ”.
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.
