Grilla Grills Chimp Pellet Smoker

Join the Winners Circle!

Our Grand Champion will take home a Chimp Pellet Smoker from Grilla Grills.

3 Flavors of FIREFEST

  • BBQ Blaze

    Our core event is a BBQ BLAZE competition. Teams from across the base/post compete using their own grills with proteins we provide. We emphasize fun and education. Only one team will take the coveted Jack Daniel’s™ barrelhead back to their unit for the ultimate bragging rights.

  • Salute

    At select events, we will flex our pitmaster prowess and turn up the heat to smoke up some tasty BBQ. Whether assisting the base Morale Welfare Recreation team to fundraise or serving up championship ‘Q, the SALUTE is our way of saying THANK YOU to our service members and their families for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans as a result of your efforts.

  • Pitmaster Academy

    We integrate education into each of our events. Our Pitmaster Academy includes Certified BBQ Judge classes; cooking demonstrations; and online instruction. But that’s just the formal part. Come to one of our events and you will see pitmasters interacting one-on-one with service members and their families with the ultimate goal to pass along the great American tradition of BBQ.
