Thirty-three pit masters. It makes for a lot of ribs and chicken and brisket. That’s how many barbecue mavens were on hand to compete at the 2024 edition of the Rotary Club of Boulder City’s Best Dam BBQ event. Before the crowds arrived, indeed, before most of the vendors or car show folks showed up, the early birds were already grilling in anticipation of when they would arrive.

And those competitors came from all over. Northstar BBQ of Hutchinson, Minn. got the brisket honors. Tuffy Stone, a six-time world champion took the overall pork competition. Rib honors went to Colorado’s Chucho Q while Stone also took the chicken competition. Porterhouse BBQ of Lexington, Kentucky took the overall prize with Las Vegas’ Burnin’ and Lootin’ taking the runner-up slot.

The Best Dam BBQ is the year’s largest fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Boulder City. They give out $8,500 in prizes and the competition is a qualifying event for the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational Barbecue, one of the most prestigious ‘que events in the world.
