Chris Schafer – Heavy Smoke BBQ | Built to Win

In this episode of BBQ Therapy, we sit down with Chris Schafer, world champion pitmaster and owner of Heavy Smoke BBQ, to talk about his journey from backyard griller to one of the top names in competitive barbecue. Chris shares how he turned his culinary background and passion for cooking into a nationally recognized BBQ brand.


We dive into:


  • His “hot and fast” cooking style and why it works

  • What it takes to win at the highest levels of competition

  • Opening his restaurant in St. Peters, Missouri

  • Teaching BBQ classes and giving back to the community

  • And what keeps him fired up after all these years at the pit



Whether you’re a backyard enthusiast or looking to go pro, Chris brings the heat with tips, stories, and laughs that’ll keep you hungry for more.
