About the pitmaster

Bernie Thomas — the guy behind the smoke

Chasin Tailz BBQ is locally owned by Bernie Thomas — a pit guy, truck guy, and longtime friend who believes nobody should leave his line wondering whether they got enough. That generous spirit is the whole brand: real smoke, straight answers, and taking care of the people you invited.

As seen on FOX 8 New Day Cleveland — a two-time Brew and BBQ Bash winner going for three.
