Let’s me introduce myself, my name is LeRoy McGee, owner of Smoke E-D’s BBQ.

I was born in Waco, Texas and I have always enjoyed watching my mother Eddie Mae cook. She shared many family recipes with me, but her specialty was desserts. I have always been intrigued with the art of smoking and grilling meat to that just right taste and texture.

My mother-in-law Dorothy Mae was also an excellent cook. One summer she brought a beef brisket, sealed in hot ice all the way from a meat market in Detroit. I watched her season and smoke that brisket all day long. Let me tell you when she took that brisket off... and let it rest for a bit before cutting slices against the grain, it was amazing! I was hooked and that started me on my mission to master smoking meats.

I purchased a custom competition smoker all the way from Arlington Texas and shipped to San Diego and the rest is history. I pride myself on tender and juicy cuts of meats seasoned with love. Both Eddie and Dorothy have passed on, but their memory will live on in the initials of "E-D" in our family business name... Smoke E-D's Barbecue.
