This Years Lineup
Boss Hog’s
More than ten years of smmmokin’ the competition makes Boss Hogs bbq the pride of the Canadian Ribfest Tour folks….
With “Taste the Smokin’ Difference” being our team’s motto, it is our utmost goal to provide our patrons with the ultimate barbeque experience. Season after season we become even more successful through consistency, atmosphere, and customer service that is next to none. People continually ask what our secret is and it’s actually pretty simple:
The Rub, The Love, and The God Above!!!
Smoke Dem Bones
Smoke Dem Bones BBQ was formed over a passion of cooking good food. The art of cooking food low and slow is as rewarding as well as relaxing. It allows one to slow down and take time out from our busy lives and concentrate on one thing and forget about the rest. The end result is fantastic food with peace of mind.
Smoke Dem Bones soon discovered the thrill of competing in BBQ competition as well as the hospitality and camaraderie that the competitive BBQ teams on the circuit shared with us. Cooking in competition is not an easy task and it definitely makes you work hard to develop your skills beyond traditional cooking. To be able to win awards amongst the best of the best is truly a satisfying experience. It takes a certain type of individual that is willing to stay up all night long tending to a fire so that they can create the most amazing barbecue and then go through the rigors of timing and preparation to win a ribbon with it. Most people are not willing to do that, but we are!
Prairie Smoke & Spice
Prairie Smoke & Spice is the home of genuine pit-smoked BBQ catering in Southern Saskatchewan. What started with a sample of real barbeque in Texas eight years ago has turned into a consuming passion to produce the best, most authentic ‘Q available in the prairies. This dream is now a reality as Prairie Smoke & Spice has won many awards on the competition circuit.
GATOR

For over 30 years, Gator BBQ has been delivering mouth-watering chicken, pulled pork, and ribs to the hungry crowds at Ribfests all across North America. Touring Canada and the Northern United States, the Smith family of Port Dover continues to win countless awards and events with their signature southern BBQ cuisine.
PIT CREW BBQ
We’ve been doing Ribfest for over 25 years! This year we decided to start building our NEW brand “Pit Crew BBQ”, we’ve outfitted our rig with new banners portraying life in the fast lane of racing! We find Ribfests fun, fast-tracked, and it’s great to be in the “Pit” with our “Crew”! Pit Crew BBQ is from the Maritimes and have a great supportive crew from Ontario, to Vancouver Island & everywhere in between! We have formed a great team and we look forward to serving the best customers all over this beautiful country of ours.
