Our Story
Terrance Smith, owner of Smith Spot BBQ started his cooking career in the courtyard of Hubble Hall at Texas A&M Commerce University, located in Commerce, Texas.
Terrance was a starving college student! He bartered plates of food (mainly BBQ meats) in exchange for toiletries and other survival necessities required for students to live. After the smoke cleared, Terrance soon began to realize that he had developed a passion for cooking good ole BBQ!
In the summer of 2007, at a family BBQ event, his mother‘s best friend said, “Terrance you should sell your BBQ at events and festivals – this is the best BBQ I have ever tasted!” He replied, “That sounds like fun, but I only have this little 3 foot, vertical smoker!” “Also, what should I call my business?” As everyone pondered over a business name, his nine-year-old nephew “Garfield” said, that’s easy, call it “Smith Spot” Duh!
Psalm 1:1 -3 KJV
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditates day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper
