Hey, I'm Dave!

I'm the guy behind Kamado Joe Masterclass. I'm a home cook turned backyard pitmaster who believes you don't need a restaurant kitchen to make incredible food—you just need good ingredients, a little guidance, and a hot grill.

I create in-depth Kamado Joe tutorials, recipes, and maintenance guides designed to help you cook better barbecue, troubleshoot common problems, and get more from your grill. Everything I share comes from years of hands-on experience cooking on ceramic grills and figuring out what actually works.

Follow along here at Kamado Joe Masterclass or check out Austin's Kamado Joe Masterclass on YouTube for step-by-step videos and practical Kamado Joe advice.
