BBQ Team Names
Hey everyone! My friends and I are currently thinking of different names for our cookoff team. Would love to hear ya'lls best suggestions of how to get to the best name for a cookoff team.

Re: BBQ Team Names
theirishbbqer, think about what y'all like to do besides cook and incorporate it into your name. My wife and I love the beach as well as salt water fishing. We also like to relax in the evening with a shot or two of tequila. Pretty much what we came up with for our name. " Tequila Sunrise BBQ Team".

Re: BBQ Team Names
Maybe a play on your last name or some connection with the area or city you live in works well also.

+1 on this. My last name is Erbe, prounounced like herb, minus the h. When I start doing cookoffs, my team name is going to be Smokin Erbe. Of course I'll have to have my name below so folks realize its a play on my name and not the drug. Its just a fun play on my name like Bruno suggested.

Re: BBQ Team Names
Do you trademark your names? How do you avoid others taking it?

Re: BBQ Team Names
My partner and I are in the oil business....we chose "Smokin' Wildcatters BBQ Team". Put something in your personal life that means a lot to you and incorporate it to your team name....good luck!

Re: BBQ Team Names
Family heritage is a good start too, but be careful what you mix it with. For instance, if yer Irish, "Celtic Porkers" or the "Belfast Basters" (if yer the orange variety) is probably a turn down the wrong road so to speak. After you think you got a name picked out, sit down, open a Guiness, focus REAL hard, and contemplate it for a bit. If need be, repeat this step several times to make sure you get it right. Now, say for example, the name fits too easily into a dirty limerick - "There once was a Pig Smoker from Clyde / he had him a fair durable hide / but he cooked the steaks until frazzled / his wife was no longer dazzled / so she locked him in a pressure cooker 'til fried" - see, here you definitely got yerself a problem case of Limerick Vulnerability and would have to re-bait the hook and keep fishing.
"Celtic Cookers" or the "Gaelic Grillers" or the "Shillelagh Smoke Kings" on the other hand, are winner winner chicken dinner. I could drink Jameson's for a week and not be able to rhyme Celtic or Gaelic or Shillelagh into a dirty limerick anybody would appreciate so these are solid gold.
And whatever you do, keep it subtle. The world just ain't ready for a Flamin' Leprechauns barbecue team yet.

Re: BBQ Team Names
Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't have to include "flaming" "piggy" "smoking" or "Big" + Your first name +"'s BBQ"

I had the perfect bbq team name that I couldn't convince the team to use. Ain't seen no one use it neither. I still think it is great. It is........................

Re: BBQ Team Names
If you all were in the same scout troop you could be "a pack of smokes"
Thank You to all the fine folks here for all the tips and advice so I can now smoke a chunk of meat and folks actually eat it.
