Founded in 2018, Smokin Hot Guys BBQ is the result of a lifelong obsession with the craft of low-and-slow Tennessee barbecue. Brian Easley and Micheal Thomas began as a brother-led team on the competitive circuit has evolved into a dedicated pursuit of flavor perfection. As pitmasters, we don’t just cook; we engineer profiles—blending traditional hardwood techniques with innovative dry rubs and custom-developed sauces. Whether we are competing against the best in the country or developing our signature retail line, our mission remains the same: uncompromising quality and a relentless respect for the smoke."
