Southern Thunder Competition BBQ Team


Our History

We are an award-winning Pro competition BBQ team founded in 2012 and we have won many contests because we came up with simplified, repeatable processes that produced great results. In 2014 it dawned on us that we could teach what we were doing and thus Southern Thunder BBQ Cooking School was born.
