The Crew

We thought some of you might like to know who the "crew" actually consists of. The team actually changes from competition to competition depending on everyone's schedule. For the first competition back in September we had a great following with 5 guys on the team; CJ Bird, Eric DeLaRosa, Donovan Van der Paardt, Jon Hocker, and Robby Cullendar along with 3 honorary members. We competed in December in Long Beach with just 2 team members; CJ and Erik and 1 honorary; Karl McNeil. CJ, Erik and Donovan were present at the last competition in Tulare. It should be noted that Karl attends any competition that his 5th Wheel is needed thus earning him the "Honorary" status as well as a shirt with the team logo on it. Aimee Bird shows up to collect the prize money and trophies.

The Love of BBQ

There has always been a love for barbeque amongst CJ and his friends. It seemed as if gatherings become more about who could smoke a better pork butt rather than getting the friends and families together. In bragging about his successes to one of his new customer's, CJ found the world of competitive BBQing and wanted his friends to join him in the fun. So we launced Bird's Pit Crew and here we sit 3 competitions in, wanting to share our success with family and friends. Check back in for updates on upcoming competitions and results from past competitions.
