About Vannatten's Pitmaster BBQ

From our kitchen to yours.

In 2014, we realized that none of the big-name BBQ sauces met our standards. I had a taste on my tongue and couldn't find it. So, I decided to create it. By 2016, I felt like I had something truly special. Despite trying countless new sauces on the market, we always returned to my homemade recipe.

In 2022, my partner took the plunge and opened a small restaurant, using our BBQ sauce exclusively. It was a hit! The customers loved it, and the success of the restaurant encouraged us to enter the sauce market.

We've perfected our products, and now they're available for everyone.
