Joe Hager, a native of Lincoln, NE, found his true passion for the art of barbecue during his time in Texas back in 2014. It was there that he discovered and fell in love with the authentic flavors of Central Texas slow-oak smoked barbecue. Inspired by the local barbecue scene, Joe decided to embark on a barbecue journey of his own. Driven by his passion and love for barbecue, Joe began participat

ing in cook-offs, honing his skills and perfecting his craft. As he immersed himself in the world of barbecue, he soon realized that his creations needed a little something extra to make them truly exceptional. This led Joe to experiment with different flavors and combinations, ultimately resulting in his own line of small batch barbecue sauces and rubs. With his mouthwatering oak-smoked barbecue and perfectly balanced sauces and rubs, Joe's barbecue quickly gained popularity among the Texas neighborhoods. People couldn't resist the irresistible flavors and unique combinations that he brought to the table. Soon enough, Joe's barbecue became the talk of the town, attracting attention through catered events and pop-ups. The secret to Joe's success lies in his unwavering commitment to his motto: Faith, Family, and Smoke. He believes that these three elements are the key ingredients in creating something truly special. Joe's faith in his abilities, coupled with the support of his loved ones, has been instrumental in his journey. And of course, the art of slow-oak smoking is the foundation of his craft barbecue, infusing each order with a distinctive and mouthwatering flavor profile. With his passion, creativity, and dedication, Joe Hager continues to leave a lasting impression on the world of barbecue. Whether he's crafting delicious sauces and rubs or serving up his signature oak-smoked barbecue, Joe's barbecue journey showcases his love for the craft and his commitment to creating unforgettable dining experiences.

You may have noticed our 3-year anniversary post. Those three years didn’t come easy… and they definitely didn’t come by myself. I owe a lot to my day-one Pitmaster J, Justin. He started part-time and quickly grew into a full-time role with pure passion and love for the game. Early mornings, rain or shine — the pits are lit and loaded because of you, brother. Thank you for being part of the journey and the success with the Canyon Joe family. Couldn’t have done it without you. 🔥
