Competition BBQ
Welcome to Marty Party BBQ — where smoke, fire, and passion meet the competition circuit.
What started as a love for great barbecue has grown into a dedicated competition team fueled by hard work, early mornings, and a whole lot of flavor. Marty Party BBQ proudly competes in BBQ competitions across the region, bringing bold flavors, carefully crafted recipes, and true pitmaster pride to every event.
This page highlights our journey on the competition trail—from awards and accomplishments to behind-the-scenes moments and memories. Whether you’re a fellow BBQ fan, a competition follower, or someone who’s tasted our catering and wants to see what drives it all, you’re in the right place.
Follow along as we fire up the pits, chase trophies, and keep the party going—one competition at a time.
Season long success!
As members of the Minnesota BBQ Society, Marty Party BBQ has competed among some outstanding people and serious BBQ talent. Don’t get us wrong—we love hearing our name called—but hearing our friends’ names called is just as exciting!
