The 6th annual Cattlemen’s BBQ is happening July 13th & 14th at the San Juan Convention Center with the Sheraton Convention Center Hotel as headquarters for all the BBQ action.
With the continued growth of the competition since 2008 has come some fantastic smoking and grilling built around two days of hot competition. The culinary arts, authentic slow smoked BBQ, Grilling and Caribbean whole hog on a spit are parts of some of best BBQ you will find, all prepared by some of the best Pit Master in the Caribbean at the Cattlemen’s BBQ Competition.
We are expecting guest teams from off Island that include Antigua, USA, Bermuda, and Nassau Bahamas.
Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) was established in 1984 in Kansas City and stands as the world’s most recognized authoritative body on BBQ. They wrote the book so to speak and it is an honor and a pleasure to see that Puerto Rico has advanced over the past two decades from a grilling only community to embrace and excel at the time tested art of slow smoking real BBQ. Over the past few years Puerto has made some huge strides in BBQ, and made some real good friends at The Jack Daniel’s World Invitational and Memphis and May. One of those good friends is Wayne Lohman and his wife Maria. They will be the KCBS Reps officiating on Sunday for the BBQ competition. Competitors read your new rules carefully. There are a few changes but, for the most part, the Caribbean BBQ Association was very close to the KCBS way of doing BBQ. Puerto Rico is no stranger to KCBS and had competed in at least 8 or 9 KCBS stateside contests.
The two days of competition are broken out like this:

Welcome to the Caribbean BBQ Association. If you like to BBQ and /or Grill you are in the right place.
We are a non-profit organization with a focus on:
• teaching the ancient art of slow smoking BBQ through classes held throughout the year • enjoying good food with family and friends • supporting worthy charitable organizations • Sanctioning and Judging BBQ Competitions
We have very few club meetings but try to have a BBQ outing once each quarter where we can share our knowledge of BBQ & Grilling while we socialize with each other.
It is easy and inexpensive to become a member. $20.00 for a single person membership, $25.00 for a family membership (includes couples, boyfriend or girlfriend, spouse and children) and $80.00 for an entire 5 person BBQ Team. Membership is good for one year from the date of joining and renewable each year on the anniversary date that you joined. Membership renewal is $20.00 whether you have a single membership, family membership, and drops to $75.00for renewal of a BBQ team membership.
Two of the most commonly asked questions are
1. What do I get for my membership fee?
• Membership privileges include a discount on BBQ and Grilling Classes, Judges Certification Classes, and some of our social events.
2. If you are a non-profit organization what do you need the membership fees for? Even non-profit organizations need funds to operate and the CBBQA is no different. Some of the regular expenses we incur include, but are not limited to:
• CPA and accounting services • Storage facility • Equipment maintenance • Licenses and trailer tags • Fuel & tolls • Insurance • Legal and Notary services • Office supplies
The CBBQA also sanctions several BBQ competitions in Puerto Rico and several other Caribbean Islands. Our members are always welcome as volunteers to help organize and run these various events. If you have taken the class and become a certified BBQ Judge you have the opportunity to work as a judge in many of the competitions that we sanction. It is a lot of fun and a great experience to be a part of a BBQ competition.
If you have any questions about the CBBQA or becoming a member please contact Manny Rodriguez , Public Relations agent for Association. He can assist you in Spanish or English.

Visit the photo gallery for more picturesA summer afternoon BBQ with family and friends just go hand in hand and the Sabanera Dorado BBQ is the perfect example of that.
This is the kind of activity that any urbanization, community, pueblo, or business can do. It’s a fun family activity with great food, friendly competition and I can’t think of a better way to get to know your neighbors or coworkers. Sabanera Dorado does a fantastic job of this with their annual BBQ.
Prisa Group built the resort like urbanization and they organize the outing. The BBQ is held under a large covered basketball court located inside the property. The court is flanked on one side by a children’s playground and on the other side by the tennis courts. It’s August in the tropics so even though the area is covered with shade and there’s a good breeze blowing I still felt a little like a cat under a hot tin roof. Hydration is essential as with all BBQ competitions and besides the organizers having cold refreshments readily available many of the teams have their own special concoctions of Sangrias, Quenepa Pitoro,and good local Rums of Puerto Rico with cola or juice available for sampling among friends.
