Turkey Smoke Team Of The Year

Turkey Smoke is back for another year of hot coals, fierce competition and, most importantly, delicious turkey. Another season of Turkey Smoke competitions means another opportunity to take the title of Turkey Smoke Team Of The Year (TOY). The coveted TOY award is the Kansas City Barbeque Society’s grand championship for the Turkey Smoke Series. Points for Team Of The Year are calculated by combining each team’s top five scores at Turkey Smoke contests around the nation. The more you compete, the more chances you have to break into the points chase. All KCBS Turkey Smoke Series contests in a specific season count towards that season’s TOY award. Who doesn’t want more opportunities for prizes, contests and of course, bragging rights?

A Word From KCBS CEO, Emily Detwiler:

“The Turkey Smoke Turkey Team of the Year is an exciting next step in the evolution of the Turkey Smoke program to engage competitive pitmasters! It is an exciting way to tie together all of the Turkey Smoke contests sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society,” said Emily Detwiler, CEO of KCBS. “Pitmasters have the chance to not only shine with their Turkey Smoke performance at individual contests, but they accumulate points for competing in multiple Turkey Smoke contests across the U.S. Pitmasters have a chance for extra prizes, trophies and serious bragging rights; giving them even more incentive to participate in Turkey Smoke contests!”
