Welcome to the ZBQ web site.

ZBQ is a competition barbeque team based out of Rhode Island.  We compete all over the northeast, including New England, New York, and Pennsylvania.  This site serves as a way to communicate with people that follow the team, and to share our interest in the art of barbeque.   Be sure to check our event schedule periodically, as it does change during the year.

**Schedule Changes**

• Troy Pig Out (7/17) added.
• Lake Placid (7/3) added back to the schedule.
• Battle of the BBQ Brethren moved to August.  Due to a conflict with the Maine event, ZBQ will not attend.

**First Event**

ZBQ opens the season with a 1st place finish for Ribs at the "Smoke In The Valley" event in PA.  See a write up of the event by philly.com here:  http://www.philly.com/philly/restaurants/20100527_Tong-to-tong_combat.html?viewAll=y&c=y#axzz0p8IFN9xY
