More details on BBQ Brawl season 3

The show has not given out many details about its upcoming episodes. However, what has been identified is that the first episode will be quite a big challenge for the barbecue chefs. Contestants will begin with a signature skewer task in which they will have to prepare roasted meat and cut the meat on their own.

As the episodes proceed further, contestants will also have to deal with a large dinner party thrown by the three mentors. The show's first challenge will be studded with lots of twists and turns thrown by Burrell, Flay, and Tila. This will be followed by contestants dealing with a suckling pig for the big BBQ occasions they have to prepare within six hours. Moreover, every episode of the barbecue show will be one and a half hours long.

The official description of the first episode of season 3 reads:

Nine barbecue masters are ready to brawl, and their first challenge is to introduce themselves and their BBQ in hopes of being picked by their favourite team captain. Bobby Flay, Anne Burrell and Jet Tila make their selections, and the competitors face off in the first team brawl with high stakes ... and a major twist!

In the press release of the show, Courtney White, president of Food Network, stated what season 3 will be like:
