For those of you who don’t know about Big Moe Cason, he’s a big corn fed pitmaster from Des Moines, Iowa and he’s a bad ass. Simply put.

The never-ending winter has lingered for far too long. It’s time to dust off and heat up those grills because Destination America has ordered another mouth-watering season of the hit competition series, BBQ Pitmasters, premiering Saturday, April 12th at 9/8c.
The latest installment gets a jump on summer and introduces fresh meat when favorite contestant, Moe Cason joins Myron Mixon and Tuffy Stone at the judge’s table. Once again, BBQ Pitmasters transports viewers into the competitive barbecue subculture, proving that barbecue is much more than just delicious food; it’s a full-blown competitive sport.
The new season showcases a fierce competition among the best in regional BBQ – from Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Memphis and of course, Kansas City – with teams competing for a spot in a final cook-off in which the winner boasts the ultimate barbecue bragging rights, a $50,000 cash prize from Kingsford Charcoal, and entry into the prestigious Kingsford Invitational.
“What better way to cure the winter blues than to fire up those grills in anticipation of barbecue season?” said Marc Etkind, general manager of Destination America. “Destination America is proud to celebrate the backyard warriors that light the flames of competition and encourages people across the country to dig into a much-needed early taste of summer with BBQ Pitmasters.”
