It is the mission of the FBA to promote the uniquely American tradition of barbecuing meat over natural wood or charcoal-fired heat and smoke through education, family-friendly fellowship, and competition. |
The Florida Bar B Que Association has posted the final BBQ Team of the Year competition results for 2024. Congratulations to Tillman’s BBQ who placed number 1 on the PRO team list! Congratulations to Sloppy Hoggs who placed number 1 on the BY team list! Over the year the FBA had 165 teams compete in PRO and BY contests. Don't forget to save the date for the FBA Team of the Year Annual Banquet to be held on January 18, 2025, at Cypress Lakes, 10000 US 98 N.

The FBA is actively expanding the number of sanctioned contests throughout the state of Florida. We provide sanctioning to both Professional and Backyard contests, along with specialty contests such as Kosher. The FBA is proud to support fundraising events by offering one-meat only contests to minimize contest costs. If you would like to explore organizing a contest, click on this link.
