Rack City BBQ

07/04/2026

Early this morning while my wife was sleeping, I slipped out and came home with a brand new … because apparently I make my best financial decisions before sunrise 😂🥚🔥

The plan was simple: quietly roll it through the house, get it to the backyard, and act like it had always been there. Unfortunately for me, the Ring camera caught the whole operation.

Was it worth it? Absolutely.
Now the only question is… what’s the first cook going on the Egg?

Vegas Baby VEGAS!!!! Love when we are close to home, this time at & for another Allstars BBQ Series. Our NVBBQA Family was rolling deep this weekend, always good cooking alongside our Nevada fam….  Being that we already had our golden ticket for the we test some new recipes on the Rib & Chicken front. Chicken was a rough go, which colored up faster than expected in the new brine and upon finishing was not as tender as expected, back to the drawing board on that one. The new rib recipe, injection and rubs created by us did well finishing 3rd. A couple of tweaks and we will run this one full time! Our wildcard was cook perfectly and happy to say we again took 1st !

🏆 Results:
RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION
3rd Ribs
1st Wild Card – BURGER

We were in Boulder City this weekend for a competition we’ve been doing since 2009 — the Best Dam BBQ, one of our favorites being so close to home!

Saturday we competed in the SCA competition and the NVBBQA People’s Choice event to help raise money and promote BBQ here in Nevada. Congrats to on the decisive People’s Choice win!

On Sunday we competed in the KCBS contest and had a solid cook. We were happy with all four meats. When awards started, we only heard our name called for brisket and thought we may not have cracked the top 10… but we were wrong — we ended up taking 3rd Place Overall!

3rd OVERALL
 
12th Place – Chicken 🐔
12th Place – Ribs 🐖

Good luck to all of our family as you travel to Texas for the World Championships! Wishing everyone safe travels and great cooks. We’re definitely sad to miss it this year, but we’ll be in San Antonio watching our son graduate A-School and sending him off to his next adventure. Proud parents over here! 🇺🇸🔥
