Concept
Contestants from across the United States compete in a barbecue cook-off to be crowned the "American Barbecue Champion". At the start of each season there are 8 contestants, each of them with different levels of barbecuing experience. They have to face challenges cooking in different styles, sometimes with extra surprise challenges. There is a focus not just on the cooking aspect but maintaining the barbecue's temperature and smoking abilities. Each cooking task must be completed within a set time, often less than the time typically needed to prepare and cook the specified meal.
