We are the only company providing the spectacular experience of cooking whole pigs over coals in traditional pits like they have been doing for generations in southern USA.
Meet Doug Eldred
It all started with a lifelong passion for cooking that turned into a love of BBQ.
It wasn’t until my father passed and I inherited his old, battered bullet smoker that the meat smoking journey took off. I re-discovered the joy of BBQ and fire, and ended up cooking for more and more people. When I started getting requests to cook BBQ for people who had tried my cooking, I decided to follow my passion.
I really connected with the idea of using traditional pits and shoveling hot coals from a burn barrel to cook whole pigs. Once I tried it, the experience was amazing but the taste was out of this world.
Why not follow your passion and share your cooking with people. So after 21 years in the health profession here we were.
Fast Forward 24 months and we have had the exquisite pleasure of providing Amazing food for many weddings, parties, private events, Rodeos, shows, races and other events.
We have literally fed an army! We recently cooked for the US Army when they were stationed in Bowen. 550 hungry soldiers at a time.
Now we are excited about starting to cook out of a local pub as the evolution of the business continues.
I am actually Living my Dream!
