The Happy Smoker

As a child I started cooking with my grandparents and discovered a passion for it. At the age of 10 I became a member of the Boy Scouts of America. One of my favorite duties as boy scout was to plan, shop, and prepare all three meals for the day. As I grew older and began my family in 1986 I began grilling. In 1989 I spent a weekend with a Barbarque Competition Smoker named Les Cadjue. During this

weekend I built my first smoker and fell in love with the art of smoking food. This particular smoker is still in use today and utilized for family functions or just a good old night with some BBQ. In December of 2010 the opportunity presented itself to purchase a BBQ smoking trailer south of Henryetta, Oklahoma. After weeks of revisions and modifications with my best friend Don I thought the final product was ready to go and serve some great BBQ and Beef Jerky
