Hello! I’m Jeff.

I’ve been smoking meat for more than 20 years and cooking outdoors for as long as I can remember. I feel so blessed that I can make a living doing what I love and helping others have fun while feeding their families!

My Barbecue Story

If you enjoy learning about smoking meat, you might also enjoy the Smoking Meat Community, where readers share cooks, ask questions, and help each other improve.
