Team #AhhTownleyBBQ once again cooked along the shore of the Arkansas River in the 20th Annual BuzzBQ.  This is a GREAT event that brings all our BBQ family together in an effort to show off what you got, on and off the grill, lol.  The team turned in some great KCBS-style food and was lucky enough to pick up a 6th place chicken call and a 3rd-place pork call.  

This landed us 5th overall in the Average Joe division.  More practice will be needed as we prepare for Smoke on the Water in the fall. Read more
