Get to know us
My journey into the world of barbecue started quite unexpectedly, on our first Thanksgiving in a new home. With the excitement and promise of our new beginning, I took it upon myself to make a memorable feast for my family. I decided to smoke my very first brisket, not knowing that this humble endeavor would ignite a passionate love affair with barbecue that continues to grow. To my delight—and relief—my family loved it! Their exuberant reactions sparked something deep within me, and from that day onward, I was hooked.
What began as backyard experiments quickly evolved into a defining passion for me, one that I nurture and hone each day, fueled by the cherished memories of my grandfather, R.C. Myles. He was my greatest supporter, the person who always believed in my potential, and my guiding light in the world of barbecue. We would talk about BBQ every single day, sharing tips, techniques, and our dreams for the perfect smoke. Even after his passing in 2024, his spirit continues to inspire me.
In honor of his legacy, we created our signature sauce, affectionately named "41"—a number significant in our family history. Skatts BBQ has grown through the unwavering support of our community—one plate at a time. It’s a testament to the bonds that barbecue can forge, as families gather around the table to share meals and make memories. This is what BBQ means to me: it’s a communal experience, a way to connect with others, and a means to celebrate life’s moments—big and small.
Every day, I strive to deliver more than just a meal. I aim to create a space where people can come together, share laughter, reminisce, and enjoy the smoky embrace of good food. At Skatts BBQ, we’re not just serving a plate of food; we’re serving history, love, and a slice of my heart. From those early days of backyard grilling to now running a beloved BBQ haven, I’ve learned that every rib, every pulled pork sandwich, and every smoked brisket is infused with purpose and passion. This is more than a business for me; it’s a legacy for my family and a celebration of the spirit of BBQ—a beautiful melding of flavors, families, and memories.
