Meet the Jeffs Behind the Smoke

Jeff Thurman

Hailing from the barbecue capital of the world, Kansas City, Jeff Thurman is the veteran pitmaster behind JJ's Meat Fixins' With years of experience perfecting the fine art of smoking meats, he's not only a seasoned chef but also an expert when it comes to crafting tantalizing spice rubs. Jeff's journey began with a humble smoker he built himself, and from there, he has never looked back. His dedication to bringing out the best flavors in every bite is the cornerstone of our spice blends.

Jeff McGlosson
A native of Ohio, Jeff grew up in the southwestern part of the state where he also became a member of the Ohio Army National Guard. In 2000, Jeff and his wife, Kris, moved to Columbus. Jeff has always had a passion for grilling but quickly became a fan of smoking meat. He loves to experiment with flavors and foods, smoking everything from brisket and baked beans to meatloaves and mac-n-cheese plus seafood and cornbread. His love of trying new things is why he was eager to form this partnership with the other Jeff, and why he’s so committed to making sure their rubs/seasonings are the best they can be for you.
