The competition heats up with two rounds of head-to-head barbecue battle, and chef Kardea Brown joins the judging panel to help decide which young barbecue cook will be sent home.

The barbecue arena is transformed into a Polynesian paradise and the kids are challenged to make the perfect luau pork dish with a tropical fruit side.

The final five kid chefs whip up their best on-the-go fair foods, while the elimination challenge pushes them to their culinary limits with grilled desserts.

It's go big or go home in this campfire competition where the kids are challenged to create meals worthy of a starving cowboy.

Hosts Camila Alves and Eddie Jackson meet eight of the fiercest kid barbecue cooks in the country and kick off the competition.

Three kid cooks battle it out one last time to win a feature in Food Network Magazine's Kid Edition, $20,000 and the title of Kids BBQ Champion.
