How do I become a BBQ Critic columnist?

You must be a Certified BBQ Judge in order to be a BBQ Critic columnist for this site. If you are not a certified BBQ judge, please go to the Kansas City Barbeque Society website and search for a class near you. Once you become a judge, you will be authorized to judge BBQ at hundreds of KCBS competitions nationwide. Then join our forum and learn even more about judging BBQ.

If you are already a Certified BBQ Judge and are interested in writing for this site, please submit your first blog by filling out the form below. Please allow several days for approval. If approved, your blog will be posted. Your personal log-in and user name will be emailed to you.

Thank you for your interest in BBQ Critic!
