About Pitmasters
Pitmasters is a raw, relentless, real-world BBQ competition unlike anything ever attempted on Food Network. A non-stop week-long battle set deep in the wilderness where teams of the most notable pitmasters will push the boundaries of what BBQ can be as they compete over live fire to prove they are the best of the best. They will be cooking from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, fighting for survival and their share of up to $50,000 in prize money. Teams must manage fire, fatigue, and challenges within challenges to impress an elite panel of judges.
