Melissa Cookston of Memphis Barbeque Co. is the winningest woman in all of barbeque with a dozen first place finishes for pork under her belt. But Big Moe Cason of Ponderosa BBQ in Iowa may give Melissa a run for her money, having competed in over 130 competitive barbecue contests. Or will Donny Bray of Warren County Pork Choppers surprise them all by smoking the competition with his old-school pit? Whoever can master these pork cuts will move onto the finale for a chance to win $50,000 and the title of BBQ Pitmasters Grand Champion.

· TRIMMING THE FAT

Johnny Trigg of Smokin' Triggers is a legend in barbeque with half a million dollars in winnings, but his old school barbeque ways will be challenged by modern barbeque techniques of younger Pitmasters like Chris Hart of Wicked Good Barbeque and Charles Wilson of C-Dubs Corruption BBQ Crew?
