Take out your spatulas and get some fuel to fire the grill because we are going to take you through the exact shooting locations where the whole series was filmed.
Where was BBQ Showdown filmed?
The American Barbecue Showdown series was filmed on a cattle farm EnChanning Occassions located in East Covington, Georgia inside the United States.
Season 1 was filmed during Sep 2019 while the second season was filmed during May 2022 on the same property owned by Drew and Britanny Smith. The competition lasted for three weeks and the episodes were filmed within that duration.
James Brooke, the producer of this reality TV series was planning to give the show a rural setting. He come up with a number of suggestions with fellow crew members and finally, EnChanning Occasions was chosen for the final filming, a few kilometers away from Guardians of the Galaxy 3 location, Trilith Studios, Atlanta.
Enchanning Occasions
The farm is located on 640 Channing Cope Rd, Covington, GA but there is a more simple way to visit the stunning farm. After exiting the I-20 in Covington, just follow the yellow boards with the words ‘SMKD’ and you will reach the Enchanning Occasions.
Established in 2016, the property consists of a 5,000 square foot genuine rough-sawn post and a 400 acre cattle farm where the whole shooting of the BBQ Showdown series took place.
What we have seen in the show is just a small portion, the place has a lot of beautiful places and is good for wedding purposes. It is a perfect venue for engagement parties, bachelor rehearsal, and bridal showers, according to the official website.
Right before signing a deal with Netflix, the Smiths finished the construction of a 36-foot tall barn that has been featured in the series. The lucrative tax incentives also helped the filmmakers to save the budget for the best production.
