Ashley, 31 from England. I got into bbq by mistake, having bought an offset smoker accidentally. I intended to buy a cheap charcoal grill but had no experience or knowledge in what I was buying. That was in the summer of 2020, fast forward 2 years from then and I started my own home takeaway bbq business, and then fast forward another 2 years and we've just done 16 pop up catering events and a wedding this year. We've been on the meat and greet bbq podcast, and met Evan LeRoy & Bradley Robinson (chuds bbq) and I'm hoping to visit Texas next year with several bbq joints confirming that they'd be happy to have me work there whilst I visit, including LeRoy & Lewis, Hurtado BBQ and Bar-A-bbq. I am getting people visit from hours away to try our bbq and someone from New Jersey was in the area visiting and they made the effort to visit our pop up and said how they were blown away by it. I work full time still at the moment and have a Fiance and an 8 month old son, so it's been a juggling act so far this year. I have no previous catering experience or restaurant experience either. Just one man accidentally falling head first into this crazy world of bbq. I focus on central Texas style cooking on an offset imported from Houston, using strictly Oak.
