Happy Birthday, JEFF! 🎉
Hey BBQ lovers! It’s a special day here at DAMO BBQ as we celebrate the birthday of our OG smoker, JEFF! 🎂🔥
A Journey Worth Celebrating
Three years ago, Danny and I embarked on this delicious journey with a dream and a custom pit named JEFF. After cooking holiday dinners for our neighbors, we knew we wanted to share our passion for BBQ with everyone. So, we reached out to a welder, and soon after, we drove down to Kentucky to pick up JEFF, our very first custom pit. It was love at first sight, and naming him after our pit builder just felt right, funny story. 😉
The Evolution of JEFF
Since then, JEFF has been with us every step of the way, from our humble beginnings in pop-ups to catering weddings and corporate events. With the help of a local welder , JEFF received some nifty customizations to elevate his smoking prowess, making him an integral part of our BBQ family.🔥

Share your favorite JEFF moments or birthday wishes in the comments below! Who knows, maybe you’ll get a special shoutout! 👇
Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us grow from a small pop-up to having our own boutique location. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing community and, of course, JEFF.
Follow us for more exciting updates and delicious BBQ moments. Here’s to many more years of smoky goodness! opening date soon!🥂
