My name is Theresa Bell and I’m the pitmaster for Big Dog BBQ VA. My husband and BBQ partner is Larry.  As we begin our 7th season as a competition BBQ team we are able to look back and see how far we’ve come. We started this journey with 4 WSM smokers. Today we have two MM33’s.

 I am a Master Certified BBQ judgee and Certified Table Captain. We judged for a year before cooking.

We live in VA BCH with our (late) Big Dog team mascot Hank- a big black Labrador Retriever!

This BBQ dream of mine would not be possible without the unwavering support from my husband Larry.
