ABOUT US

The Live Fire Cooking Association is a food sport sanctioning body created to give live fire cooking its own identity, structure, and future. Cooking over flame, coals, embers, wood, and smoke is one of the oldest culinary traditions in human history, and today, it is also one of the most creative and exciting frontiers in competitive cooking. The LFCA was built to honor that tradition and accelerate its growth through fair competition, consistent judging standards, cook team recognition, education, events, and community connection.

DURAFLAME: THE OFFICIAL FUEL OF THE LFCA

Through Duraflame Char-Logs, B&B Charcoal, Cowboy Charcoal and Western Wood, one family of brands is supporting live-fire cooking from day one. Their fuels will help power LFCA events, education and the cooks who keep the fire burning. We’re proud to welcome Duraflame to the LFCA family.
