Kansas City Barbeque Society

The Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and enjoying barbeque. Founded in 1986, KCBS is the world's largest organization of barbeque and grilling enthusiasts, with over 20,000 members worldwide. The society sanctions barbeque competitions across the United States and internationally, providing a standardized set of rules and judging criteria.

History

The Kansas City Barbeque Society was established in Kansas City, Missouri, a city renowned for its rich barbeque heritage. The founders aimed to create a community for barbeque enthusiasts to share their passion and to elevate the art of barbeque through competitions and education.

Competitions

KCBS sanctions over 500 barbeque competitions annually. These events are held in various locations, from small towns to large cities, and attract both amateur and professional teams. Competitions typically feature categories such as chicken, pork ribs, pork shoulder, and brisket. Each category is judged on appearance, taste, and tenderness.

Judging

KCBS has developed a comprehensive judging system to ensure fairness and consistency in competitions. Judges are trained and certified through the KCBS Judge Certification Program. The judging process involves blind tasting, where judges score entries without knowing the identity of the teams.

Membership

Membership in KCBS is open to anyone with an interest in barbeque. Members receive benefits such as a subscription to the KCBS monthly magazine, "The Bullsheet," access to exclusive content on the KCBS website, and the opportunity to participate in sanctioned events.

Education and Outreach

KCBS is committed to educating the public about barbeque. The society offers classes and workshops on various barbeque techniques, from smoking and grilling to sauce making. Additionally, KCBS engages in community outreach programs, promoting barbeque as a means of bringing people together.
