Serving groups, individuals & companies in Edwardsville, Metro St Louis, Creve Coeur, Wildwood area
The Purpose Full BBQ Experience
The Purpose Full BBQ Experience is a team of Professional Pitmasters, BBQ Trainers, Certified Chefs and Cooks that are corporately matched to offer a unique BBQ/Cooking Experience -- as well as an Incredible Meal at the end of the day!!! In other words, we are a mobile Prep, Pro Kitchen, and Smokehouse on Wheels. Plus, we are qualified to Teach You to BBQ like we do!
The Event
Each Event and Experience is custom created with Your Team in mind... Meaning your staff can selectively participate at whatever level they may like. If one would like to learn more about the process, we would ask them to join us earlier in the day. We will Train each and every part of the cook and share specifics about how we BBQ... On the other hand, maybe another person would just like to show up later in the day and enjoy the meal --- That's fine too!

Classes are held at a variety of local BBQ related businesses, throughout the year. Some are focused on beginners and others are fitting to the weekend pros. Many are Public, but we offer Small Group Packages too. Churches, Youth, Small Business, Couples and even Bachelor Parties.

Our Fans
Jeff and Tyler teach in a way that is very simple to follow and the food is incredible. The classes have completely improved the quality of my BBQ. My family thanks you!
We had Jeff, and his team, prepare the food for our annual family 4th of July party and everything was simply amazing! The ribs, the pulled pork, the burnt ends, the brisket, it was all excellent and cooked to perfection. All of our guests were beyond themselves with how delicious everything was. Not to mention the bloody Mary’s, they were the best we’ve ever had! If you ever get a chance to try any of their stuff, or hire for an event, you won’t be sorry!
