Brisket, Chicken & GOOD Vibes in Montana and Virginia

July kept the wins coming for our GOOD Charcoal teams.

In Dillon, Montana, Bourbon & Blues BBQ brought serious flavor to the Dillon Days Blowin’ Smoke BBQ Cook-Off, earning 1st place in Chicken. Set in a laid-back park near a local brewpub and train tracks, the vibes were as strong as their SMF chicken. Crisp skin, juicy meat, and perfect timing helped them walk away with the top trophy—and some new fans.

Meanwhile, over in Wise, Virginia, Sticks & Stones BBQ fired it up at Chillin’ & Grillin’ in the Glades. With their brisket timeline dialed in, they pulled off a flawless cook and secured 1st place Brisket to close out the weekend. Backed by The Good Charcoal, they proved that clean-burning fuel and a sharp strategy make all the difference.

From small towns to big wins, our teams keep showing what GOOD cooking is all about.
