The Basin Burnout 2025: BBQ, Music, and Giving Back

About Us

Since its inception in 2016, the Basin Burnout has evolved from a friendly competition among oil and gas organizations into a highly anticipated event and a charitable powerhouse in the Permian Basin. Over the past decade, the event has raised over $400,000 for local and national veteran-based organizations.

In 2025, the Basin Burnout raised more than $225,000 for our beneficiaries: Reel Thanx, Boot Campaign, Toys for Tots (Permian Basin), and the Midland VFW Post 4149.

The Basin Burnout aims to provide something for everyone: live entertainment and the best amateur BBQ in the Permian Basin. The event also offers numerous networking opportunities for sponsors and BBQ competition teams, all while supporting our nation’s heroes. Stay tuned for information on how to get involved in 2026!
