Welcome to Heavenly Smoked BBQ!
Owned and operated by Dave Pearson and Kristopher Guerra.
In 2019, two idiots and a smoker went to “look at” and bought a food truck and in true barbecue fashion, set out to pursue a dream (low and slow because BBQ but mostly because we had absolutely no idea what we were doing). Regardless, we knew we wanted to provide our home, the Yakima Valley, with quality barbecue at a fair price.
There was a steep learning curve. Setbacks, challenges, and moments that tested our faith in the dream. But we kept pushing, kept hustling, and kept feeding the fire.
And here we are today. Still two idiots, still chasing that same dream, and still fueled by the same fire that got us started back in 2019.
The smokers may have gotten bigger, the lessons may have gotten harder, and the journey may have taken us further than we ever imagined, but our original intention hasn’t changed:
Serve great barbecue, treat people right, and bring a little smoke to the Yakima Valley.
But none of this would have been possible without the people who have stood alongside us along the way.
A special thank you to our family and friends who sacrificed weekends, afternoons, and even took days off to lend a hand. The hours you’ve given us, the work you’ve put in, and the support you’ve shown have meant more than we can put into words.
To our customers, both new and loyal, including some of you who have been there nearly every single time we’ve flipped that open sign on: thank you.
Through it all, the conversations, laughter, stories, and kind compliments have remained just as important to us as the barbecue itself.
To the breweries, wineries, community events, and all the wonderful people and organizations who entrusted us with their special occasions and events, thank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of your memories.
Every helping hand, every returning customer, every conversation, and every opportunity has helped keep this dream alive.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re just getting started.
