About us

BarrelHead smokers started out as West Texas Pit Masters in 2011 as a competition bbq team. I built my first smoker out of a 250 gallon propane tank and decided to start competing in bbq contests. My first year on the trail we cooked 18 contests with many awards won our first year. over the course of the last decade I have won many grand and reserve championships with 450 plus 10 ten calls. In 2019 i moved to Carlsbad NM for work and put bbq competitions on hold for the most part. In January 2022 a couple of friends and started working on building a distillery, which is how the name BARRELHEAD COOKERS  came along. Our distillery will be opening later this year. 

Don't forget, Barrlhead Cookers is a full catering services for any size event. With a smokers that are capable of smoking several 100's of pounds of meat at a time, there's no event to big or small.

 

IN THE BEGININGS

West Texas Pit Masters BBQ was Plainview's first and only traditional West Texas-style BBQ gourmet food truck and catering company. Opened  in February of 2014 by Lance Moore, West Texas Pit Masters BBQ was dedicated to bringing the best BBQ experience to the great people of Plainview and the Panhandle of Texas. At West Texas Pit Masters BBQ, we believe BBQ is an art form, that's why everything on this truck is handmade with the type of care, patience and attention that the art of BBQ deserves. From our dry rubs, to our sweet and spicy sauces, to our delicious side items and desserts, it's all made from our special, unique recipes. Don't forget, while West Texas Pit Masters BBQ is a food truck it also provides full catering services for any size event. With a smoker on board capable of smoking several 100's of pounds of meat at a time, there's no event to big or small.
