I’m Beverly M. Cheeks, the pitmaster, recipe developer, and smoke enthusiast behind BBQ Hustle.
My passion for low-and-slow cooking originated right here in California, fueled by the state’s diverse culinary traditions and my dedication to mastering the perfect smoke ring. After graduating with a degree in Culinary Arts, I spent years honing my craft in commercial kitchens and local BBQ circuits. What started as competing quickly grew into a mission to document and share my meticulously tested techniques with the world.
My mission is simple: to provide high-quality, dependable tutorials and unbiased equipment reviews to help you move beyond grilling and truly master the art of barbecue. Every recipe, every smoke profile, and every equipment test on BBQ Hustle is performed by me personally, ensuring the highest level of reliability.
