Pitmaster Kevin Heese jumped into smoking 12 years ago. In 2015 he entered his first small competition with friends at his church, he was hooked line and sinker! One year later he was asked to cook for a party at the American Royal BBQ, which allowed entry into the Open. With the assistance of his friend they managed to finish 61st in Ribs, he learned A LOT that weekend and realized he had to do more than one competition a year. 2017 he entered the world of KCBS competition BBQ…the addiction grows!
