Our Cooking Process

At Troop 925 BBQ, great barbecue isn’t just about the recipe—it’s about the process. We believe that low and slow cooking, with the right equipment and a little Scout know-how, produces the best results every time.


We use Southern Pride smokers, trusted by pitmasters across the country for their consistency, capacity, and unbeatable flavor. These commercial-grade smokers give us the perfect balance of wood-fired taste and precise temperature control, allowing us to cook large batches of meat evenly while still delivering that unmistakable smoke-kissed flavor.

Our process starts with a simple seasoning of kosher salt rub to let the natural flavor shine through. We load our Southern Pride smokers with a carefully chosen mix of hardwoods often cherry pecan and oak for a balanced, authentic smoke profile. Then, we let time do the work: each piece is slow-smoked for 12–14 hours at a low temperature, rendering the fat, tenderizing the meat, and locking in the flavor.

When the meat is done, we process it on-site—whether that means chopping the pork, packaging the whole butt, or preparing our 5 lb party trays – before it’s promptly refrigerated. We keep sauce on the side, so you can enjoy our barbecue just the way you like it.

From start to finish, our cooking process is built on tradition, quality, and the kind of patience that only Scouts and pitmasters understand.
