BARBECUE & BBQ COMPETITIONS

Kamado Sumo sponsors passionate grill masters in their quest for world champion titles. Through our sponsorship, we promote the art of barbecue and the development of new taste experiences. KCBS and WBQA are leading competitions that set the standard for BBQ quality worldwide.

KCBS SMOKE IN THE NORTH 2024

Kamado Sumo is proud to have been the main sponsor of "Smoke in the North," one of Europe's most prestigious BBQ competitions, organized by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS). The KCBS is the world's largest organization for barbecue enthusiasts and is known for setting the standard in the BBQ world. "Smoke in the North" brings together the best BBQ masters from all over Europe to compete in different BBQ disciplines and showcase their skills.

Our involvement in Smoke in the North reflects our passion for grilling and our desire to promote BBQ culture in Sweden. By participating as a sponsor and partner, we not only support the development of the competition, but also grillers at all levels to be inspired, learn new techniques and exchange experiences.

Our involvement in 'Smoke in the North' was particularly significant as last year's Grand Champion winners, the Smoking Aces BBQ team, are sponsored by Kamado Sumo . Winning the competition qualified them for the prestigious Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Tennessee, USA. In October, Kamado Sumo will travel with Smoking Aces BBQ to compete on the world stage, where we continue to prove our strength and passion for BBQ.
