2018 COMPETITORS

67 championship teams from the U.S. and 23 international teams from around the world convene in Lynchburg to compete for the coveted title of The Jack Grand Champion.

JUDGE SPOTLIGHT

Veteran judge Ray "Dr. BBQ" Lampe is a true original. After quitting the family trucking business, his interest in barbecue shifted from serious hobby to professional career. With decades of experience, awards, and nine cookbooks under his belt, he's officially branded his name in the world of BBQ.

THE ART OF THE JACK

In Lynchburg, folks say barbecue is an art unto itself. After 30 years of competition, we have the posters to prove it. Check out our letterpress poster gallery from previous years of The Jack.
