At Elite BBQ Smokers, we live for the fire, the flavor, and the fierce competition. We’re not just cooking—we’re competing. And winning.
Led by decorated Pitmaster Jason Hardee, our competition team is a staple on the BBQ circuit. From small-town cook-offs to elite national championships, we’ve earned our place—and the trophies to prove it.
We don’t just make barbecue.
We make memories, moments, and mouth-watering magic.
“BBQ taught me patience. No matter how fast life moves, you can’t rush greatness. You wait for the meat to be ready. Not the other way around.”
– Jason Hardee, Pitmaster
We started with one goal: to share the kind of BBQ that makes you stop mid-bite and say “wow.” After cooking in over 100 competitions and tasting some of the best BBQ across the country, we knew we had something worth sharing. But competitions? That’s where it all began. The smoke, the pressure, the trophies—we live for it. Every event sharpens our skills and brings us closer to the people who love this craft as much as we do.
From local cook-offs to grand championships, our team brings passion, precision, and a whole lot of flavor to every event. Elite BBQ Smokers is more than a name. It’s a promise of excellence; our track record is proof of relentless passion, long nights, and perfect smoke rings.
