Smoked Pioneers BBQ team

BBQ team Smoked Pioneers was established in the old town of Tallinn, in the legendary restaurant Le Chateau in 2005. Two names were proposed: Smoked Brains and Pioneers. As there was no consensus, the team was named Smoked Pioneers BBQ Team.

The goals of the Smoked Pioneers BBQ Team are:
To develop and promote Estonian food culture - especially BBQ and grilling culture.
Provide the best food!
Be pioneers in the field of BBQ.
Participate in BBQ competitions in Estonia.
Represent Estonia at BBQ competitions in other countries.
