On this episode of BBQ Therapy, we fire it up with Anthony Lujan—pitmaster behind Smoke Ain’t No Joke BBQ, co-host of The Pitmasters Podcast, and a fierce competitor in both BBQ and SCA (Steak Cookoff Association) competitions.
Anthony pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to compete at a high level—from dialing in flavor profiles and chasing trophies to managing stress and finding joy in the grind. We dig into his journey from backyard beginnings to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in BBQ media.
Whether he’s turning in a perfect ribeye or interviewing legends behind the pit, Anthony brings passion, precision, and straight-up honesty to everything he does.
🔥 If you’re into competition BBQ, SCA tips, or just love hearing from someone who truly lives the BBQ life, this one’s for you.
