COMPETITION: Smithfield Smokin' Hot Challenge


We are the Elite BBQ Smokers Competition BBQ Team. What started out as a hobby has turn into a passion and a business. Oddly enough, we started out by building a smoker for personal use and a few catering jobs. In that same year, the South Carolina Barbeque Association (SCBA) came to our town and held a BBQ competition. We were asked to join as a local team and feel in love with the food, atmosphere, and all the innovative ways people built and used their smokers. \r\n\r\nWith that we stated studying and engineer our own line of custom smokers and Elite BBQ Smokers was born. Today, we regularly compete in SCBA, KCBS and SBN event throughout the southeast. \r\nThe members of our team are: Jason W. Hardee (Pit Master), Michelle Hardee (Quality Control) and Clyde Sargent (Fire Management). \r\n
