A celebrity television chef challenges Homer to a barbecue cook-off. But before the competition, Homer's new, prized barbecue grill is stolen.
To Marge's annoyance Homer buys a barbecue smoker rather than a new washing machine but the result is so delicious that the Simpsons become famous and are challenged to a televised cook-off by celebrity chef Scotty Boom. When the smoker goes missing Bart and Lisa turn detective to recover it in time for the contest.—don @ minifie-1
