🔥🐷 S*M BBQ HIT MANNING, SC AND KEPT STACKING RESULTS 🐷🔥
📍 Smokin’ Fur A Cause – ASCAS Cook-Off

Twelve teams rolled in to battle for bragging rights, trophies, and cash — and S*M BBQ came ready to compete.

Here’s how we finished when the scores dropped:

🍖 Boston Butts:
🥉 3rd Place – S*M BBQ

No excuses, no soft wins — just hard-fought points in a competition that had smokers from top to bottom.

The 2025 season has thrown everything at us — sweeps, podiums, battles, wins, and weekends where every bite had to count — and S*M BBQ has stayed in the game.

We’re not just cooking to take home wins…
🔥 We’re cooking to stay dangerous.
🔥 We’re cooking to stay in the conversation.

🔥🐷 S*M BBQ THREW DOWN AT THE BATTLE OF CAMDEN IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST FIELDS OF THE YEAR 🐷🔥
📍 Camden, SC – 20 teams in the mix

Twenty competition teams lined up this weekend, and it was a dogfight from start to finish. With that level of talent stacked up, every point mattered, every bite had to hit, and S*M BBQ held its own in the middle of a loaded lineup.

Here’s where we finished when the smoke cleared:

🍖 Boston Butts:
🥉 3rd Place – S*M BBQ

Podium finish in a massive category with heavy hitters everywhere you looked — and we were right there in the mix, swinging for the top spot.

S*M BBQ has had a wild season — trophies, sweeps, podiums, and battles !

The mission stays the same:
🔥 Cook bold.
🔥 Compete hard.
🔥 Keep stacking results.

Next comp, next challenge — we’re ready

🔥🐷 S*M BBQ ROLLED INTO EDISTO BEACH AND MADE OUR PRESENCE FELT 🐷🔥
📍 Cookin’ on the Creek BBQ Festival – Edisto Beach, SC

Ten teams battled rain, wind, and unpredictable weather — but the smoke didn’t stop, and neither did we.

Here’s how we stacked up when the scores dropped:

💥 Reserve Grand Champion – S*M BBQ (John Stone)

🍖 Boston Butts:
🥇 1st Place – S*M BBQ

Top of the board in pork and second overall in the field — that’s how you fight through tough conditions and still produce elite-level barbecue.

The pork box hit so hard it carried us right to the podium.

Another comp, another trophy, another statement!

Rain, wind, mud… doesn’t matter.
The pit stays hot, and the results speak for themselves.

On to the next one — and we’re still hungry !

🏆🔥 S*M BBQ TOOK HOME A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE SECOND WEEKEND IN A ROW — CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG, BUT I’M PRETTY SURE THAT’S BARBECUE HISTORY. 🔥🏆
📍 Farm Fest – Seneca, SC

Two weekends.
Two competitions.
Two FULL sweeps.

Not “a win,” not “strong scores,” but complete domination, back-to-back.

Here’s how it went down at Farm Fest:

💥 Grand Champion – S*M BBQ (John Stone)

🍖 Boston Butts:
🥇 1st Place – S*M BBQ

🍖 Ribs:
🥇 1st Place – S*M BBQ

When your pork AND ribs take first, and your overall score puts you at the top of the field — twice, in a row — that’s not luck.

Smoke dialed in.
Flavor locked.
