Howdy, y’all! I’m Mark Rogers

Founder of Pit Nation BBQ, proud dad, and lifelong lover of low and slow. My passion for outdoor cooking started early, learning the ropes from my dad and grandfather. Since then, I’ve spent years perfecting the art of smoked meats, experimenting with bold rubs and sauces, and bringing people together through BBQ. As a member of both the Kansas City Barbeque Society and Georgia Barbecue Association, I’m all about good food, great company, and celebrating BBQ culture from coast to coast. Whether you’re new to the pit or a seasoned griller, I hope Pit Nation BBQ inspires you to fire things up, get creative, and cook something unforgettable. Now grab a cold one—let’s make some smoke.

Where the magic happens

More often than not, you’ll find me in the backyard with my smoker or grill cooking up some of the tastiest meats, no matter the weather, and having FUN.
