Introduction

The proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the ribs! Byron Glass, a rising star in the barbecue competition circuit, recently won 1st place and 3rd place prizes at the Barbecue Throwdown, a KCBS competition that took place at the Robertson County Fairground in Springfield, TN on June 10th, 2023. And guess what? He did it using Manchester Barbecue Pellets and his outstanding pitmaster skills!

Byron Glass: The Man Behind the Grill

Byron Glass, a former college football player, found his competitive spirit rekindled in the world of barbecue. His team, B.G.Q. (Byron Glass Barbecue), is based out of Gallatin, TN located near Nashville. Despite being relatively new to the competition circuit and not having a fancy BBQ trailer like the big teams, Byron has proven that passion, skill, and the right tools (in this case, Manchester Barbecue Pellets) are all you need to succeed. Byron's outstanding skills, combined with the right BBQ pellets, fueled his success at the event. 

The Switch to Manchester Barbecue Pellets

Byron's journey with Manchester Barbecue Pellets began when his usual brand  was sold out at The Smoke Box Unlimited, his local BBQ shop in Murfreesboro, TN. The store suggested he try a new brand they had in stock - Manchester Barbecue Pellets. Byron decided to give it a shot, and boy, was he happy he did! Since then, he has been using Manchester Barbecue Pellets, partly attributing his recent competition success to the quality of Manchester Pellets.

The Winning Edge: Manchester Barbecue Pellets

Manchester Barbecue Pellets are not just another brand of BBQ pellets. They are a game-changer for anyone serious about barbecue. But what makes them so special? Why did Byron switch from his inital brand of pellets to Manchester? And most importantly, how did they help him secure 1st Place for Ribs , 3rd Place for Anything Butt, 8th Place for Pork, and 5th overall at the KCBS competition?

The Manchester Difference: Quality and Consistency

Manchester Barbecue Pellets stand out from the crowd due to their superior quality and consistency. They are made from 100% pure, natural, debarked hardwoods from New England, ensuring a clean, long-lasting burn and a rich, smoky flavor that penetrates deep into the meat. This quality and consistency are what Byron believes contributed to his recent wins. Because Manchester pellets are made in a round log mill, they lock in more flavor than the competition. Our pellets are made in the only round log mill in the USA that uses 100% debarked chips. Additionally, our wood drying process, which is a critical part of the wood pelleting process, is a new system to improve the flavor attributes of our pellets. 

The Taste Test: Manchester vs. Other Brands

When it comes to barbecue, flavor is king. Manchester Barbecue Pellets deliver a distinct, robust flavor that enhances the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it. This balance of smoke and flavor is what sets Manchester apart from other brands and is a key factor in their growing popularity among BBQ enthusiasts.

The Manchester Effect: Byron's Competition Success

Byron's success at the KCBS competition is a testament to the outstanding quality of Manchester Barbecue Pellets. Despite going up against big teams with fancy trailers, Byron, operating out of a U-Haul and canopy tents, managed to secure impressive rankings. This success story serves as an inspiration for all BBQ enthusiasts and a solid endorsement for Manchester Barbecue Pellets.
