We moved up the ranks at the national level after our big win in Kansas City at the Great American BBQ in May 2009 where we came in Reserve Grand Champion (2nd overall) among 161 teams in a throwdown in the BBQ capital of America.  This generated attention from the national BBQ scene as no team west of Texas has ever scored so highly in Kansas City at a national contest.

Our three consecutive back-to-back wins in So. Cal (Costa Mesa), Central Calif (Bakersfield), and NorCal (Stockton) Grand Championships was another first

And we took 1st place in at the Tri Tip Championship in Santa Maria, California, the BBQ tri tip capital of the world.  Considering the depth and multigeneration experience of the local champion teams, restaurants, and caterers who showed up in full force, this was a sweet win

The KCBS officials in Kansas City also confirmed that our 1st place in all four meat categories at Way Out West BBQ State Championship in Stockton on Independence Day was the first time in America a team has ever won a Grand Slam at at State Championship and Team of the Year (TOY) contest.

2008 KCBS National Rankings 

In 2008 rookie year, we surprised the California competition BBQ community with our out-of-nowhere Best New California Team 2008 win

Our rookie year consisted of five KCBS sanctioned events on the California BBQ circuit.  We did well enough to win the California ROY 2008 (Rookie of the Year).  When compared with the rest of the country, including the legendary teams in the BBQ belt (Texas, Kansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina), we placed in the top 8% in the nation.  Not bad for a first-year West Coast rookie team!
