As a proud father of five beautiful boys right here in St. George, Tim knows a thing or two about feeding a hungry crowd. When you raise five boys, small portions simply aren't in your vocabulary, and he brings that exact same generous, family-first hospitality to every wedding, family reunion, and corporate feast he caters.
Tim has been smoking and BBQing for over 20 years, obsessing over the way real oak, pecan, and fruitwood transform prime cuts of meat when given the time and patience they deserve. In 2014, Tim moved his family from Southern California to St. George, trading big-city traffic for Southern Utah's red rock views and tight-knit community.
Passionate about cooking amazing food for folks, what began as weekend smokes that drew neighbors from down the street evolved into STG BBQ. Whether you're hosting 30 family members at a Sand Hollow vacation rental or 250 wedding guests outside Zion, Tim treats your table like his own family dinner table.
People always ask Tim what he reaches for first when the smoker doors open. While our 24-hour prime brisket is famous across Southern Utah, these three dishes hold a special place at Tim's table:
No call centers, no factory commissary kitchens, and no reheated shortcuts. Just honest craft barbecue cooked with pride for your guests.
Raising five boys taught Tim that running out of food is never an option. Whether we're calculating meat weights for 35 backyard guests or 200 hungry wedding attendees, Tim plans generous, hearty portions with plenty for seconds.
Great barbecue can't be rushed. For your Saturday evening wedding or Friday corporate lunch, Tim is up tending the smoker the day before, managing hardwood smoke, bark development, and long insulated rests so every slice is melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Tim's love for fine hardwoods doesn't stop at oak and pecan smoke. In his Utah shop, he also handcrafts custom Walnut, Purpleheart, Cherry, and Maple carving and charcuterie boards that showcase our meats at live carving stations.
Whether you want to make sure Tim's Signature Brisket Chili, St. Louis Ribs, and Smoked Cheesy Potatoes are on your buffet, or need help figuring out exact portions for your crowd, reach out directly.
