Our BBQ Story

How a passion for authentic barbecue became a mobile culinary experience

2015: The Beginning

What started as weekend barbecues in backyard gatherings quickly became the talk of Austin. Our founder, Jack Wilson, spent years perfecting his smoking techniques and sauce recipes, drawing inspiration from his Texas roots and travels across America's BBQ capitals.

2018: The First Truck

After overwhelming requests to bring his BBQ to private events, Jack purchased our first vintage truck and transformed it into a mobile smokehouse. This allowed us to bring authentic pit-smoked meats directly to events while maintaining the highest quality standards.

2021: Award-Winning BBQ

Rolling BBQ gained recognition at the Texas Food Truck Festival, winning "Best BBQ" and "People's Choice" awards. Our commitment to using locally-sourced ingredients and traditional smoking methods has earned us a devoted following across central Texas.

Today: A Mobile BBQ Revolution

Now with multiple trucks and a passionate team of pitmasters, Rolling BBQ has transformed the mobile food experience. We continue to innovate while honoring traditional BBQ techniques, bringing smoky goodness to hundreds of events annually.

The Art & Science of BBQ

Our dedication to perfecting the craft of authentic barbecue

Perfecting the Smoke

At Rolling BBQ, we've spent years researching the perfect balance of wood types, temperature control, and airflow for each cut of meat. Our custom-built smokers are designed to maintain consistent temperatures and optimal smoke circulation for that perfect bark and smoke ring.

We use a combination of oak, hickory, and fruit woods, each selected specifically for the type of meat being smoked. This methodical approach ensures that every piece of meat that comes off our smoker has the ideal flavor profile and tenderness.

Selection of BBQ sauce ingredients and testing

Sauce Development

Our signature sauces are the result of extensive research and development, combining regional BBQ traditions with our own innovations. Each sauce starts with a base that complements specific meats and undergoes multiple iterations of testing before making it to our menu.

We source ingredients from local producers whenever possible, including Texas honey, small-batch vinegars, and heirloom chili peppers. This commitment to quality ingredients and meticulous development has resulted in sauces that enhance rather than mask the natural flavors of our smoked meats.

Selection of premium meat cuts

Meat Selection

Our research into meat quality has led us to form relationships with small, sustainable ranches across Texas. We select USDA Prime and Choice briskets with optimal fat content and marbling. For our pork, we source from heritage breed producers who raise their animals humanely with no antibiotics.

This careful selection process ensures consistency in our finished products and supports ethical farming practices. We believe that exceptional barbecue begins with exceptional raw ingredients, and we never compromise on quality.

Custom mobile kitchen design

Mobile Kitchen Innovation

We've reinvented the traditional food truck model through extensive research into mobile kitchen design. Our trucks feature custom-built smokers that can maintain consistent temperatures during transport, specialized ventilation systems, and energy-efficient refrigeration.

This technological innovation allows us to maintain the quality you'd expect from a brick-and-mortar BBQ joint while bringing the experience directly to your event. Every aspect of our mobile kitchens is designed to deliver an authentic BBQ experience without compromise.
