Barbecue has caught fire in the last few years, transitioning from a leisure activity to an event that rivals organized athletics. With amateur backyard grilling competitions growing in popularity and top pitmasters earning recognition from the culinary community, the grill has gained an elevated status in American culture. Kingsford charcoal has played an integral role in igniting the flames of competition barbecue and continues to fuel that fire with the announcement that the Kingsford Invitational competition will be back for its second year over Veteran's Day weekend 2013.
