Are You the Next Charcoal Champion? National BBQ Competition Seeks Next Grill Champion

Innovative charcoal barbecue brand, Masterbuilt, is currently searching for the UK’s Charcoal Champion. The hunt is on to find the most creative charcoal pit-master in the nation.

Taking place during the 25th National BBQ Week (5th - 18th July 2021), Charcoal Champion contestants have to cook up their ultimate dream burger and impress judges Marcus Bawdon and Dan ‘The Smokin’ Elk’ Whittaker with their creativity and flair.

To enter, simply upload photos of their burgers to Instagram using the hashtag #CharcoalChampion, tag @MasterbuiltEU and leave a comment about why your burger should award you the title Charcoal Champion.

Ben Forte, global marketing manager for Masterbuilt, says: “The heat is on to find the Charcoal Champion. We want to see bold banging burgers that will blast Ronald into next week. Masterly built juicy patties and lush toppings sandwiched between mighty baps. These fully loaded creations should bring out your inner structural engineer. Overall, we want to see massive flavour to champion your style.”
