Welcome and greetings, BBQ friends!
Hello there, my name is Leon Hitchens and I am passionate about BBQing. In recent times, BBQing has become a recognized profession, but for me, it is more than just a job – it’s an art form as well as a science. With this in mind, I created a website to cultivate a community of like-minded individuals who are on a journey to master the art of BBQing, from beginners to seasoned pros. Whether you are just starting out or have years of experience, my goal is to provide a platform where we can share knowledge, swap recipes, and learn from each other’s successes and failures. So, join us on this journey and let’s take our BBQing skills to the next level together.
I am based in Seguin, Texas, which is known as the BBQ capital of the world. This small town has a big reputation when it comes to slow-smoked meat. Since moving here, I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in the local BBQ culture and learn from some of the best pitmasters in the world.
My love for BBQ was sparked when I bought my first Traeger grill. The ability to cook low and slow with wood pellets was a game changer for me. I now spend my weekends experimenting with different rubs, wood flavors, and cooking techniques to perfect my own BBQ recipes. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of serving up a delicious, smoky brisket to friends and family.
Our Mission
When I was learning about BBQing, I wanted to share my knowledge with others. I researched about how long to let a brisket rest and how to make the best burnt ends. I also explored various accessories and best practices. Now, I have a team of writers who experiment with different smoking methods for ribs, brisket, and other meats to bring the best insights to our readers.
The team understands that it’s not just about achieving the desired results. It’s also about inviting friends and family over and hosting them. It involves a process that goes from trimming the excess fat to cooking the meat at the right internal temperature. Our goal is to make sure that everyone enjoys the outcome and takes pride in the entire process.
