Social worker by day hobby griller by night: meet Brittany!
Born and raised in southwest Virginia you can find her in the kitchen or on the grill deck making her kids taste test everything. Brittany got into smoking during Covid when staying home all day was too boring and needed a push for creativity and new skills.
Now you can find her on Instagram making people laugh with corny jokes, making them drool with good food, and making them crave the taste of smoke and fire.
