Mike Willey

Indulge in the mouthwatering world of BBQ alongside Mike Willey, an ardent grill aficionado who discovered his passion in his formative years. Growing up in the outdoor-loving era of the 80s, Mike spent countless hours embracing his fascination with fire. It wasn't until he reached adulthood that he truly realized the magical synergy achieved by combining food and flames.

Fueling his BBQ journey was a thoughtful gift from his father-in-law—an old-school Weber Round Kettle. From that moment, Mike's experimentation flourished, starting with delectable beer can chicken and gradually expanding into the realm of creating tantalizing, smoky ribs through the art of indirect fires.

As Mike matured, he observed that some of life's most memorable moments, both joyous and challenging, revolved around shared meals. Recognizing the profound impact of food on our physical and mental well-being, he embarked on a mission to emphasize the importance of consuming high-quality cuisine.

In 2015, Mike launched his YouTube Channel, capturing his experiences with the Masterbuilt Electric Smoker—a significant step towards achieving authentic smoked flavors. Although his initial encounters with the smoker were discouraging, Mike's determination led him to invaluable instructional videos that transformed his skills with the Masterbuilt Smoker.

Deep down the rabbit hole he went, transforming his backyard into a haven of grills and smokers. Regularly sharing videos focused on creating exceptional BBQ, Mike's passion continued to grow. While he humbly acknowledges he's not the definitive Pitmaster or Cook, his unwavering pursuit of perfection in dishes like brisket and baby back ribs nourishes his love for the craft.

Driven by the realization that a vibrant BBQ community exists, Mike started crafting videos to share his experiences with others. Your support and visit to his channel are greatly appreciated.
