Wood and Steel BBQ started out in the early 2000’s when three friends discovered that they each enjoyed hanging in their backyards and cooking slow and low — before it was so popular in this part of the country. It didn’t take long for the three friends to start smoking meats slow and low together.

When it came time to compete the friends named their group Smoking Pigs BBQ. They kept that name for years until it was time to compete in KCBS competitions where Smoking Pigs BBQ and every other variation of it was taken,  so Wood and Steel BBQ was born.
