Pitmaster & BBQ Meat Chef

Mr. Brown’s Brisket Society is building something special: an invite-only barbecue experience where great food, thoughtful details, and a memorable night all matter. We’re looking for a skilled BBQ meat chef to help us bring that experience to life—and grow with us as the events grow.

The opportunity:

This is event-based work, with one event per month to start. The right person will help plan and prepare the meat menu, cook on event day, and help improve how we work as the Society grows. We expect the opportunity to expand over time, but additional hours and events are not guaranteed at the start.

What you’ll do:

• Prepare and cook barbecue meats such as brisket, ribs, pork, chicken, and sausage.

• Operate smokers and other cooking equipment, managing fire, temperature, timing, and meat quality.

• Follow recipes and cook plans while using good judgment when conditions change.

• Help plan quantities, yields, prep timelines, and holding for each event.

• Keep meat stations, tools, and work areas clean and organized.

• Follow food-safety practices for handling, cooking, cooling, reheating, and holding food.

• Work with the team to serve food that meets Mr. Brown’s standards for flavor, consistency, and presentation.

• Help build and refine recipes and kitchen systems as the event program grows.

What we’re looking for:

• Hands-on experience cooking barbecue or working as a meat cook, pitmaster, or chef.

• Strong knowledge of meat preparation, smoker operation, temperatures, and doneness.

• Reliable, organized, and steady under pressure during event service.

• A team player who takes pride in the details and cares about serving great food.

• Able to work event days, including some evenings or weekends.

• Food-handler certification, or willingness to obtain it if required.

Schedule:

One event per month to start, with event-day hours and possible prep time based on the menu. The role may grow into more regular work as Mr. Brown’s Brisket Society adds events.
