This one’s for the brands that make it all possible at @openfiremeatup . 🔥
When we started Open Fire Meat Up, it was just a crazy idea and a lot of fire. Today it’s a movement, and our sponsors are a huge part of why.
They’re not just logos on a banner. They’re family. They show up with the best energy, they cook with us, they hang with us, and every single year they go bigger with their booths and activations. You felt it walking around Hondo.
To every brand that believed in open fire cooking and in this movement: THANK YOU! Thank you for trusting us and helping grow this incredible community. We couldn’t do it without you.
Huge love also to our team support sponsors, all the amazing brands that back our teams with funding, equipment, and products so they can be out here cooking with us. Every fire lit in Hondo has a little bit of you in it. 🙏
And a special shoutout to @quailcrossingranch for opening its gates to us and giving us such an amazing venue. 🙌
Drop a 🔥 in the comments for the brands that keep this fire alive.
Let’s Gooooo! 👊

Texas has a way of staying with you long after the trip is over.
This week, I'm heading back to the Lone Star State, and it's funny how many moments from the last adventure are still running through my mind. The smell of post oak drifting through the air. The early mornings chasing great food. The conversations around pits and smokers. The small-town stops, hidden gems, and the people who make barbecue culture so special.
The best BBQ stories aren't just about what's on the plate. They're about the journey that gets you there, the people you meet along the way, and those moments that stick with you long after the smoke clears.
If you've been following along, you know the wheels are already turning on some exciting 2027 BBQ adventures. There are new roads to travel, new pitmasters to meet, and plenty of stories still waiting to be told.
It's an exciting season. Another Texas adventure starts this week, and I'm grateful to have all of you riding along with me.
The smoke keeps rolling. The stories keep growing. And trust me... I'm just getting started with open fire.

Thank you Quail Crossing Ranch! Mr. Jones you were missed!
We were honored and humbled to once again cook and serve a whole steer over open fire. This year Team Quail Crossing Ranch took home 7th place People's Choice.🏆 It takes a dedicated team!
Here are a few videos and pictures from my view and prep for the event. 🫶

Hondo, Texas 📍 @openfiremeatup 2026
.
I’ve been there from the first Meat Up with @alfrugoni and watching this unfold into what it is today is really special.
I had the honor of working with @yodersmokers again this year, building a team to cook at the Open Fire Meat Up. I’m so grateful for these opportunities. If you know me then you’ve heard me say cooking over fire brings people together. This event especially… not just with your own team but being surrounded by teams across the world is something you won’t experience anywhere else. Cooking meats over a flame 🔥 is a universal love language. I can’t wait for nest year.
The people are what make this something I’ll look forward to every year. Put it on your calendar for 2027, just make the trip. See for yourself 🫶🏼🔥
.
Thanks again to my amazing team that made this another very special year:
@plowboytodd & @joephillipsys that invested their time and money to get us all together to cook. And Jon, Jason & Lee that hauled equipment & supplies not just for our team, but for other teams too.
Our Squad
@svenddiesel @cookerofdeliciousness @castironskillz @rackandflame @welded_horn @seattlebutchersdaughter & @theseattlebutcher @ke_sosa_ke @spiffergirl And all the others that came to film content in our space.

Hospitality is our game. The people are our judges.
Team Melinda’s NorCal brought home the first-ever Hospitality Award and second place in People’s Choice at @openfiremeatup. Being chosen by the people means everything to us.
Our Melinda’s Wing Battle wowed the crowd, our brand tent and hospitality lounge welcomed everyone, and Chef Matias Casotto @1415asado brought the fire with an incredible steak slider for our VIP guests. A little something for everybody, served with love.
When Team Germany @fuegos_del_norte lost their sponsor at the last minute, we stepped up to help our brothers get there and compete. That’s what community looks like. A team built on love and mutual respect is an unstoppable force.
Thank you to @openfiremeatup @alfrugoni @quailcrossingranch for bringing this community together, and @bluesmokeblaire and @carlapesono for helping us put on a show.
Meet Team Melinda’s NorCal:

Hondo got a little stickier this year. No surface was safe. Take us back to the @openfiremeatup 🔥

Different backgrounds. Different perspectives. One common fire. 🔥
Barbecue has a way of bringing people together, no matter where they come from or how they found their way to the pit.
At the Hondo Open Fire Meetup, we connected with pitmasters, cooks, creators, and personalities from across the barbecue community, each bringing their own experiences and perspectives to the conversation.
Different journeys. Different traditions. A shared passion for cooking over fire.
We’re bringing those conversations together in a new series from Black Smoke Media.
UNITED BY FIRE: CONVERSATIONS FROM HONDO
The people. The perspectives. The community.
Coming soon. 🎥🔥
A special shoutout to our sponsor, @exhibitsupply, whose custom canopies and signage were on display throughout the Hondo Open Fire Meetup-including our own setup. We appreciate their continued support! Also to Ben Garison for his excellent aerial footage.

Open Fire Meat Up - Day 2 🔥
Another great day in Texas!
@chef_binotto joined us to cook for @igno.bbq , while teams from around the world were getting ready for Day 3 (the BIG competition)
We visited Team Argentina to see what @delacruzcooks and the other team members were cooking, watched Team Peru put our Piro Smoker to work, and caught up with our team leader @aceswildbbqandlivefire and some incredible people along the way.
We love being part of these events, supporting and working alongside people who share our passion for fire. That’s the culture we want to bring to the world! 🔥
