Summary
Born and raised in Des Moines, Moe Cason is a U.S. Navy veteran who turned his passion for BBQ into a way of life.
Being self-taught, Moe’s love for BBQ began at an early age developing on the skills and authentic ingredients passed down from his grandmother Margaret Cason.
To raise money to buy his first smoker, Moe worked for a full year and paid out of pocket to renovate and sell his house.
Honing his skills as a pitmaster gave Moe the opportunity to be a contestant, judge, and star on Destination America’s Pitmaster’s and BBQ Pit Wars.
Moe discusses barbecue family and how a generous $20,000 check helped him bottle his first barbecue sauce.
