Elite BBQ Smokers was founded by Jason and Michelle Hardee in Conway, South Carolina with one mission: help people build better BBQ. Since 2010, we've competed in more than 200 BBQ competitions across 15 states while teaching backyard cooks through classes, recipes, live demonstrations, and our YouTube channel. Every rub and sauce we sell is competition-tested, customer-approved, and designed to help both beginners and experienced pitmasters create great food with confidence. We actively support our retail partners through in-store cooking demonstrations, social media promotion, educational content, and community events that help drive customers into stores. Whether someone is cooking their first rack of ribs or competing for a championship, Elite BBQ Smokers provides the flavors and techniques that have been proven on the competition trail and in backyards across America.
