Black, who has 27 state barbeque titles, will give a noon demonstration on how to cook pork, chicken, ribs and brisket, the four categories in which the teams will compete. He said $10,000 in prize money is up for grabs.

The judges come from Kansas City Barbeque Society, which is sanctioning the competition, Black said.
