If you’re craving some of the world’s tastiest barbeque, then you’ve come to the right place! The KCBS Great American BBQ Tour is on the road again and spreading the word to the masses about “America’s Cuisine.” It doesn’t matter which style you prefer – Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Texas, West Coast or Carolina – as long as it’s barbeque, that’s all that matters!

With our 30-foot custom tour trailer racking up the miles, our Tour Team will visit 25 of the best food festivals in the nation. The tour includes stops that range from the large (the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis, Wis.) to the more intimate (South Central Kansas Masters BBQ Championship in Wichita, Kan.). At every stop, we’re serving up tasty samples of barbeque and showing off products that go great with outdoor cooking.

Thanks to national partners like KC Masterpiece, Kingsford Charcoal, Master of Mixes, Redwood Creek Wine, Scott Shop Towels, and Weber Seasonings, our Tour Team will show millions of festival-goers why competitive barbequing is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. With the help of our official cooker from Good-One and our official GrillGrates accessory, we’ll also share the tips that can help you cook like a pro!
