Best Bite In BBQ
Host Bryan Caswell kicks off the competition by challenging the six teams to create their best ???single bite??? for the judges. Once the clock starts, it's an all-out scramble to the meat truck, and the competitor who cooks up the best ???single bite??? wins immunity from elimination and joins the judging panel for the next round. Then, the competitors devise the ideal BBQ hors d'oeuvre for an upscale art gallery opening. The fate of the finalists hangs on the opinions of the gallery guests who decide which competitor is safe from elimination.

Unorthodox BBQ And Birthday Party
The competitors must create a BBQ-inspired salad and dessert from pre-determined ingredients, so only their skill will separate them from the pack. After two hours of cooking, the judges' favorite gets a special advantage going into the next competition. For round two, the competitors have three hours to whip up an appetizing BBQ snack for a children's birthday party, but the twist is no burgers or hot dogs allowed. At the party, each kid picks their favorite dish to decide who will be safe from elimination.

Vendor Wars
The four remaining competitors take it to the streets, operating vendor carts and serving up hot BBQ to tourists. For this challenge, their assistants are off the hook, so competitors pair up and work together in teams. At the park, the tourists purchase their choice BBQ dishes with tickets. The team with the most tickets wins and will participate in the final judging of the other team, while the competitor with the least tickets will say goodbye.

Season Finale
The final challenge tests the limits of the remaining competitors' culinary knowledge, as well as their stamina, by having them cater three different events in one day. Each location will showcase a different element of the New York lifestyle including ballparks, Broadway and bars. Each finalist must feature brisket in at least one of their meals, which can take up to twelve hours to cook. After catering three distinct events, the most well-rounded pit master is named ???Best In Smoke.???
