About Primal Smoke

Like our ancestors, we have learned how to cook with fire, and it is pretty freaking delicious.  My husband and I have a love for all things BBQ, so we are going to teach you how to smoke, grill, eat, and repeat paleo-friendly foods.

Michelle is an avid weight lifter, fluent in sarcasm, and tends to be a total control freak about what is being cooked in her kitchen. Before this blog I never measured a single ingredient, or paid attention to what I was cooking, I just had that talent for putting food together in combinations that taste incredible.  Alas, now I must measure so I can share my genius with all of you.

Derek is into functional fitness and of course the sea of Webber grills that is in our back yard.  He handles most of the grunt work when it comes to Qing, Mostly you will just read about me making fun of my darling husband, but you will hear from him occasionally, writing guest posts when he is really proud of his meat.

Our kids, Kirk and Sonya are two rottweiler puppies and a tiger colored cat named Lyra whom they torment endlessly in our little Virginia home.  If you are a regular reader than you might already be familiar with the little beasts.

We love the magic we create in our backyard, and hopefully you do too!
