MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - SmokeSlam Festival named “SmokeMaster BBQ” the Grand Champion of the inaugural three-day festival judged by Memphis Barbecue Network.
“We’re so proud of the MBN for making this happen and getting through this with all the mud-slinging that’s happened. I can’t describe it. I really can’t. I’m a little lost for words. We’ve made a lot of large changes to our process in the last two months and they’re finally paying off, and I’m thrilled. I’m absolutely thrilled,” said Pitmaster Will “Uncle Woo” Hair of SmokeMaster BBQ
SmokeMasters BBQ also took home first prize in Ribs winning a total of $90,000 over the weekend.
Earlier in the day Hair exclaimed, “This is the best birthday present ever!” when he found out they qualified in all three categories.
Hog Addiction came in first in Whole Hog, and Poker Porkers came in first in Pulled Pork.
Each first-place winner also received a Golden Ticket to the World Food Championships.
SmokeSlam also announced a $5,000 donation to the WJBL to continue to ignite the passion for barbecue in our youth.
