Hi, I’m Jim.
This isn’t just a business—it’s a way of life.
Like a lot of BBQ enthusiasts, I started with a small electric smoker that used wood chunks. As my experience and passion grew I thought bigger – to whole hog. In 2011, we purchased our first commercial smoker. The first thing cooked on it was a 150 pound whole hog for my Father-in-law’s 80th birthday party. After a 22 hour cook on that hog there was no going back. Pure Smoke NW BBQ has been cooking and feeding friends and family ever since!
Every great food trailer needs a commissary kitchen. As a contractor by trade, it seemed logical to build one where we can partner with community members, caterers, food trucks/trailers, and others. This vision led us to seek the perfect space and begin construction.
I personally invite you to stop by, see our facilities and enjoy some delicious slow smoked meats and sides for yourself. I started this business to share our family’s passion for cooking and eating great BBQ…after all, BBQ is family!
