The story behind Dale’s BBQ

     Here's a good example of what happens when a hobby turns into a profession.

Be careful of the BBQ bug.  From humble beginnings with an electric smoker, then a 24ft BBQ concession trailer, to what you see above.

I have always enjoyed back yard grilling.  The “smoker” bug hit somewhere around 1997.  My first smoker was an electric smoker; can’t remember how many I went thru.  I owe a lot of my early success to “friendly competition”.  A lifelong friend of mine, Bert Dean, and I used to see who could outdo the other.  Bert passed away fall 2004.  Bert I miss you buddy. I hope your watching now.

I bought my first real BBQ pit in 2002 and the journey began.  I used my fellow coworkers as my guinea pigs back then. “God Bless Them”.  In 2005 I purchased an 8’ x 24’ BBQ Concession Trailer, with a brand new Bate's Pitt on the front of it.

Competition BBQ bug hit in 2003.  Lost a lot, but won a few also.  But, I always learned something every time I cooked.  It's a wonderful way to meet new people.  You always make new friends at every event.

Now, I have what you see above, Dale's BBQ.  So, come by and give us a try.  Or, you might want to look for the red trailer with Dale’s BBQ on the side of it.  Either way, I would love for you to give my BBQ a taste and let me know what you think.

In closing I would like to thank all my customers, fellow taste testers, and anyone who’s been a help on this BBQ roller coaster. 

Please contact me for your parties, reunions or catering.
