Let’s all hold up our beers and send a big congrats to 10-time World Barbecue Champion Chris Lilly, for his Top 3 finish in the National Barbecue Association (NBBQA) Celebrity Steak Cook-off! Owner and competition BBQer for Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Que, Chris is considered one of the most influential persons in BBQ. However, this was Chris’s first time competing in the Steak Cookoff Association.

The cook-off, held in Nashville, TN March 3-7, 2015 was a highlight of this year’s NBBQA event, and featured several celebrity BBQ-ers, including Chris Lilly. Sounds like our kind of event. Below are a few highlights of Chris cooking on his PK Grill & Smoker.

That steak is looking great on that grill grate.

Champs, being champs.

Grill Grates get those grill marks just right!
