SEATTLE BUTCHER'S WIFE

​SEATTLE, WA

Misty is a Seattle, Washington native with a love affair with meat.  She shares her “Stories of a Seattle meat man’s wife” on social platforms and may be better known as @SeattleButchersWife. Her marriage into a 3rd generation meat family was a kickstart for Misty’s barbecue journey.  Shifting from her long-time career in corporate retail through the pandemic, her passion for grilling became an obsession.  

Misty combines her creative and engaging talents with her love of smoke and meat.  Her mission is to share her journey and to inspire more women to step up to the grill.  From live fire to simple pellet grill cooks, she’s learned tips and tricks to share and has created mouthwatering pictures and videos on social media.  

When she’s not at the grill you can find this backyard BBQ expert traveling or spending quality time with her butcher husband and their 3 children.

JARED PULLMAN

HOW LOW CAN YOU SLOW

BOISE, ID
​

Jared Pullman is genuinely obsessed with low and slow smoked barbecue. When he's not in the middle of cooking something on the smoker, he's thinking about the next thing he can get on there and who he can share it with.

Born and raised in New Zealand, Jared now lives in Idaho, USA with his wife Kylie and their two dogs. Jared is on a mission, "Idaho may not be the most barbecue orientated part of the US, but I’m doing my part, to help change that (when I’m not complaining about how cold it is)."
