We’re judging the “wordplay” at the smoke show!

A New York Post boss will crown the winner of “best team name” at the renowned National BBQ Festival on Long Island next weekend — as pitmasters compete for a sizzling $100,000 in total prize money.

The high “steaks” decision goes to Post Chief of Staff Dan Greenfield, whose merits include overseeing a paper with puns hotter than a flame-broiled brisket.

“Of course the New York Post is best suited to pick the best name,” Greenfield said. “Puns and wordplay are our meat! We rib people all the time!”

At the renowned festival, talented barbecuers  —  whose team names include Phil the Grill, Meat Street USA, and I Like To Rub My Meat —  will compete at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow June 13-15.

The winner of best name earns a $500 prize, part of the “$100,000 purse” for categories such as tastiest wings, ribs, meatballs and more, organizers said.

For the price of a $54 ticket, festival-goers can try barbecue samples, drink locally brewed beer and listen to live music in a “family friendly” atmosphere.
