National Barbecue Association


The Barbecue News was started in February of 1989. Don Gillis, a full time Dentist and Joe Phelps, were barbecue cooking team partners and was planning their next year around Christmas of 1988. Don made the statement that someone should publish a paper to let the teams know when and where the barbecue cook-offs were going to be held.

Joe, being in the publishing & printing business by trade said, "Who better to do this than us!" The wheels began to roll and the first issue was published in February of '89.

The Barbecue News is an independent paper with no ties to any organization. It is all about Barbecue from Contest Results all over the world, to Barbecue Equipment and lots of Recipes. There is also a Calendar of Events that tells when and where contest are held. It is a monthly Publication, featuring many talented writers from all parts of the country.

Subscriptions are $18.00 per year and we would like to send you a sample issue. If you want to see what it looks like then send by US Mail your name and address along with $1.00 to cover shipping and handling charges to:
