In this episode of BBQ Therapy, we sit down with Dirk Mullins and Jody Harris of the Rib Cookoff Association (RCA). They’ve created one of the most exciting and approachable BBQ sanctioning bodies in the country, bringing rib competitions to the forefront and making them fun, fair, and accessible for everyone.

We dive into:

🔥 How the RCA was founded and what makes it unique

🔥 The growth of rib-only competitions and why they’re so popular

🔥 Tips for new pitmasters looking to get started in competitive BBQ

🔥 Stories from the road and what it’s like building a BBQ community

If you’ve ever thought about competing—or just love a perfectly cooked rack of ribs—this episode will get you fired up.
