Three Little Pigs BBQ

Championship 'cue, backyard-easy.

Three Little Pigs BBQ is Kansas City competition barbecue, straight from the pit of Chris Marks — the most decorated pitmaster in American Royal history, with eight Grand Championships and a Jack Daniel's World Championship title to his name.

The range covers rubs and sauces built to do on your grill what they do on the contest circuit: a KC Championship Rub that goes on everything from ribs to roast veg, plus dedicated Memphis Style, Texas Beef and cherry-forward blends for pork, beef and poultry alike.

The cult favourite is Touch of Cherry — a sweet cherry, brown sugar and hickory rub with a following all its own, leaving ribs off the smoker wearing a glossy cherry bark. Pair it with the matching Touch of Cherry BBQ Sauce, or run the Competition BBQ Sauce that took out the Jack Daniel's title in 2000.

What sets it apart is the pedigree: this is not a supermarket copy dressed up in barbecue branding, it is the actual formula that has carried Marks' team to the American Royal winner's stage for over thirty years, gluten friendly across the rub range.

Layer the KC Championship Rub under the Competition Sauce for a proper comp-style finish, or let Touch of Cherry carry a rack on its own. Championship 'cue, backyard-easy. Cook to place.
