COMPETITION BBQ · CATERING · COMMUNITY

Three young men. One pitmaster. Built to cook. Here to win.

413 BBQ started in a church youth group and a Trail Life troop outside Bates City, Missouri.

On one side of the pit: thirty years of hard-earned experience. On the other: three young men learning how to run fire, hold standards, and show up under pressure.

We compete, we cater, and we do it like a team that means it.

PHILIPPIANS 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The name is not branding fluff. It is the verse behind the work.

Competition barbecue means long nights, early mornings, blown timelines, changing weather, and no place to hide when the turn-in box leaves your hands.

413 BBQ exists to teach these young men how to work hard, stay steady, and do difficult things with character.

WHAT WE DO

Competition firepower. Real-world catering. A team worth backing.

We are not a sit-down restaurant. We are a barbecue team built around the pit, the trailer, and the next event.

Competition BBQ

We are a competition team first. The crew is training toward a full contest season, starting with the Best of the Meats Challenge in Kansas City this September.

Catering

Private parties and events, one hundred guests and up. Drop-off or full service, anywhere inside fifty miles of Bates City.

Community

Every cook is a classroom. Fire management, knife work, timing, cleanup, and how to look a customer in the eye. The barbecue is how we teach the rest.

CATERING

Need to feed a crowd without guessing?

Graduations, church events, company parties, reunions, receptions, and community gatherings.

Send the date, the headcount, and the kind of meal you want, and we will come back with a straightforward plan and a real price.
