Event Details
Get ready for the ultimate summer showdown! A high-stakes BBQ competition and a full-blown festival in loving memory of Ryan Dintleman.
From the first spark to the final rib, we’ve gathered the region’s top pitmasters to battle it out for the "Big 5" titles.
This isn't just a cook-off; it's a day of high-energy fun fueled by a great cause. While the pros compete for the trophy, you can explore our row of premier food trucks, grab an ice-cold drink from the cash bar, and enjoy live music and games.
Dive into the competition atmosphere, stay for the flavor, and help us honor Ryan's legacy. You bring the appetite; we’ll bring the heat.
Welcome to the Ryan Dintleman Classic.

Carrying on the Flame for Ryan Dintleman
This competition was born out of a passion for great food and even better company. Ryan was a man of character, a dedicated IBEW Local one electrician and even better friend.
On August 1st, 2026, we gather not just to crown a champion pitmaster, but to celebrate Ryan’s life and legacy. Every spark from the smoker and every dollar raised goes directly toward programs like Coats for kids, Safe Harbor and The IBEW Local one relief fund. Thank you for helping us keep his memory alive, one plate at a time.
