Big Poppa Smokers was born out of a backyard BBQ and a father's desire to spend more time with his sons — a simple idea that lit a fire and launched a movement. Sterling Ball, aka “Big Poppa,” took that love of cooking, brought his team from Ernie Ball along for the ride, and quickly earned a name on the BBQ circuit with big wins and even bigger flavor.

Today, Big Poppa Smokers is trusted by hundreds of championship pitmasters and thousands of weekend warriors who want more than just gear — they want results. From our award-winning rubs and sauces to top-of-the-line smokers and tools, we deliver products that make you proud of what you put on the plate.
