Whether you’re a backyard pitmaster or a seasoned competitor, the LFCA is your home. We built this association to give live fire cooks a place to compete, be recognized, and connect with a community that shares your passion for the flame.
COMPETE LFCA-sanctioned events are designed to challenge your skills and celebrate your craft. Every competition features live judging, a structured scoring system, and real prize money. Show up, fire it up, and let your food do the talking.
EARN POINTS Every time you compete at an LFCA-sanctioned event you earn points toward Team of the Year standings and World Championship qualification. The more you compete, the more you earn.
GET RECOGNIZED The LFCA tracks your performance across events and recognizes the top teams at the end of every season. The team with the most points is crowned LFCA Team of the Year at the Texas Open Fire Meat Up.
