We are a Veteran & Local Owned business introducing our line of Rubs/Seasonings to fellow Ohioans.

The name was inspired by the fact we're both named Jeff...hence the "JJ". And we both love smoking meat!

Jeff Thurman, originally from Kansas City, has been smoking meats for years. He's worked as a chef and is responsible for creating the initial recipes for our current rub selection.

Jeff McGlosson, a native Ohioan and veteran of the Army National Guard, has only been smoking meat for about four years. He's still perfecting his technique. While not the flavor master, he is the taste tester extraordinaire.
