PITMASTER
So… What is a Pitmaster?
“A person who oversees the cooking done in a barbecue pit : a professional or skilled barbecuer”
When you put your name on something, you have to stand by it! For that reason, more than any other, is why I study and practice the craft of Barbeque. My cooking beliefs are based upon a fulfilled cooking mantra, “The Basics Perfected, Time, Temperature and Technique”.
