Do not be surprised if you hear Washington Island in the same breath as Memphis, Kansas City, Carolina, and Texas when it comes to barbecue. Death’s Door Bar-B-Q wrapped up its 10th year on Sunday as several barbeque outfits came from across the country for the nearly weeklong event. Saturday’s public event drew thousands of people to the Washington Island Airport, with some competitors running out of food just hours into the event. Event organizer Dick Jepsen says what was once the slowest summer weekend is slowly becoming one of the biggest.

With a score of over 700 points, Smokey D’s BBQ, out of Des Moines, Iowa, was named Grand Champion of the event. The business captured top honors with a perfect score for its brisket and another first-place award for its chicken.
