Who We Are

  • Doug and his wife, Jennifer, compete on the competition BBQ circuit as Rogue Cookers(TM), based out of South Texas using their line of three Rubs - All Purpose, Texas Brisket, and Doug's Dust(TM). In over 120 BBQ competitions since 2009, we have won: World BBQ ChampionShip in 2015 (Houston Rodeo or HLSR);  3 Time Finalist at Houston Rodeo, 3 First Places at World Championships (HLSR in Chicken, The Jack Daniels in Chef's Choice, and American Royal); 11 Grand/Reserve Championships; and over 250+ top 10 calls. Rogue Cookers uses Traeger Grills exclusively for competition since 2014 and the first in Texas to use pellet grills SOLELY for all compitition meats (chicken, ribs, pork butts, and brisket) and ancillary entries such as dessert, beans, chili, margaritas, bloody mary, and Chef's Choice.   Low Slow Rogue (TM) describes our BBQ style and approach to cooking - we cook low and slow and Rogue refers to our constant desire to improve without boundaries as taught in our BBQ classes.  Hope you enjoy our content, food, recipes, and appreciate your support!!
