The Grill of Victory: Hot Competition on the Barbecue Circuit

By William Brohaugh

Book Overview

A guided tour through the wacky world of competitive barbecuing, The Grill of Victory introduces the fascinating people who cook for love, trophies, and all-important contest points. The book leads readers through Galax, Virginia's "Smoke on the Mountain" competition, explaining how teams are organized; types of grills used, from rusty barrels to elaborate luxury models; the rules of competition (and how they're sometimes broken); what judges are looking for; and how each competition fits into the "Memphis in May" barbecue competition circuit. Tips and tricks -- including ways to spice up store-bought barbecue sauce -- and winners' secrets to great grilling techniques, rubs, and sauces turn backyard chefs into BBQ champs.
