OUR STORY

Over time, global BBQ, grilling, and baking have shifted towards efficiency and shortcuts. At The Wood Fire Cookery Group, we are steadfast in our belief that authentic cooking should be rooted in the age-old techniques using wood, fire, and smoke. Seasoned cook wood, often overlooked, is a pivotal ingredient in gastronomy. By cooking solely with wood, unparalleled flavors are imparted to meat, fish, poultry, pizza, bread, vegetables, and even coffee. Our dedication to authenticity, coupled with our consistently exceptional and meticulously crafted equipment, has positioned us at the pinnacle of our industry.

Greetings! Since childhood, I've been enchanted by the primal art of wood fire cooking, a passion ignited by family moments around campfires and a life-changing introduction to Texas brisket in the 1990s. My journey led me to craft cooking tools and establish brands like Primitive Pits (2015) and Workhorse Pits (2019). In 2022, I introduced American Cook Wood, specializing in slow-dried, seasoned cook wood. Join me on my YouTube channel, Quetorials, as we explore the world of wood fire cooking, featuring guest interviews, insights from both commercial and backyard settings, and valuable tips from my experiences. #quelife
