What BBQ territory are you standing in?
The same question the app answers the moment you open it. Share your location or pick a city, and this page checks it against the BBQ Wayfinder territory map, using the app's own rule: the most specific territory wins.

Your location is checked right here in your browser. It is never sent anywhere.
