HOLY SMOKES BBQ CO

FAITH, FAMILY & FIRE

Born and raised in the greater Kansas City area, so BBQ was never a hobby I picked up. It was just how we ate. When we got our first smoker a few years back, it was mine. Nobody else was touching it.

As a United Methodist pastor, currently in seminary, a lot of the best conversations I've had about God and about life happened around either a meat smoker or a table with smoked meat. I don't believe that's an accident.

Now the family's bigger, the smoker's bigger, and we needed a way to keep track of all the places we're hitting on the road and all the cooks I'm putting up at home. So I built two apps for it.

BBQ SCORECARD

Rate every BBQ joint across 10 competition-style categories — appearance, taste, tenderness, smoke, sides, sauce, portions, and how the place treats families. If the food's bad, the score says so.

BBQ NOTEBOOK

Log every cook start to finish. Rubs, wood, temps, weather, what worked and what didn't. Save the rubs and sauces once and reuse them across cooks. So you can do it again next time.
