OUR HISTORY

Big Smoke BBQ started the way the best food always does — at home, around family, fire, and flavor.

What began as backyard cookouts and late-night recipe testing slowly turned into something bigger. Friends kept asking for “that sauce.” Family wanted bottles to take home. Before long, it was clear this wasn’t just a hobby — it was a calling.

That passion eventually made its way into the kitchen at the Culinary Institute of Virginia, where the recipe was refined, tested, and perfected. Blending formal culinary technique with real-world flavor was the turning point — transforming a backyard favorite into a sauce worthy of the label.

We set out to create a BBQ sauce that respects tradition but isn’t afraid to stand out. Something sweet, bold, and balanced, with just the right hint of heat. A sauce that works just as well on ribs and chicken as it does on tacos, burgers, or wings. A sauce that feels familiar — but hits different.

Every bottle of Big Smoke BBQ sauce is crafted with intention. No shortcuts. No watered-down flavor. Just quality ingredients, careful balance, and a whole lot of pride in what we put our name on.

Big Smoke BBQ is about more than sauce.

It’s about family gatherings, community, and bringing people together through food. It’s about honoring where we come from while building something that lasts.

Whether you’re grilling in the backyard, cooking for loved ones, or adding that final touch to your favorite dish — we’re honored to be part of your table.

Welcome to Big Smoke BBQ.

Sweet with a hint of heat. Built from the smoke up.
