Who we are . . .

We're a just a bunch of down-home folk, a lot like you.  We're carpenters, insurance salesmen, home-makers, plumbers, engineers and about every other profession in between.  We're a diverse group that has one thing in common -- we enjoy real barbecue, fun and sharing “Q” with new friends. 

We formed a club called the California Barbecue Association ("CBBQA"), a non-profit tax-exempt corporation to benefit needy children.  We’re run by our members, our finances are open, and no one gets paid – we volunteer because we enjoy BBQ, enjoy sharing it with our friends, old and new, and use our love of BBQ as a way to help needy children in many ways -- with picnics, parties, Kids Q contests, and other events.

We are affiliated with the Kansas City Barbecue Society ("KCBS") and with dozens of similar BBQ associations across America and around the world.

Our members share an interest in barbecue in a wide variety of ways.  Many are backyard novices and students, eager to learn new techniques and styles.  Others enjoy the thrill of competition, entering cook-offs.  Many learn regional styles and the nuances of flavor, and they volunteer as certified judges at sanctioned contests.  Others just enjoy the ambiance.
