Meet the pitmaster

Nick, the founder and pitmaster of Carolina Smoke, was born and raised in North Carolina, USA. NC is known as one of the heartlands of low n slow BBQ. Growing up in Fayetteville, BBQ was simply part of everyday life. If there was a family get together, there was usually a whole hog BBQ on the go.

Over time, Nick's love for BBQ turned into a real passion. After moving to Sydney and seeing the growing interest in American style BBQ, he decided to swap the office tie for an apron and gloves and return to his roots.

Nick has been sharing his BBQ with Sydney for the past three years and has served more than 10,000 people across the city and beyond. He is looking forward to welcoming many more to the Carolina Smoke family.
