The total prize purse for the competition, sanctioned and judged by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, is $500,000.

“Each of our world-class competitive teams knows the best barbecue starts with premium fresh meat,” series director Troy Black, a cookbook author, said in a release. “Having quality chicken, ribs, pork and brisket from Sam’s Club on the smoker sets the stage for a mouth-watering competition.”
