Smoke'n dudes history

Smoke’n Dudes began in the 90s as a competition team Tom Christine and some buddies started for fun.

Over the years it would spin off a catering company, a custom meat packaging shop, and a barbecue restaurant, until reaching its final form as the barbecue supply outlet we are today.

These days we don’t cater, compete or serve barbecue anymore. But when you shop here, you’ll feel that history in the way we run the store.

Wherever you are in your barbecue journey, Smoke’n Dudes has been there. Let’s cook up some good times together.

A New Chapter

From the start, the Smoke’n Dudes culture has been as much about people as it is about food. Tom Christine and his family brought an infectious, offbeat humor and joy to the barbecue business. Fans loved it and came back for more.

With Smoke’n Dudes under new ownership, that isn’t about to change. Carrying the torch forward from Tom is an honor we take seriously. You can expect the same warm, personal touch from us that Smoke’n Dudes has been known for in the past.

Plus, watch for new products, store upgrades, training classes, and more! Come along for the ride as Smoke’n Dudes grows and finds ways to serve you better than ever before.
