About Us
Our Story
COSMIC SMOKE-N-BBQ LLC was opened in 2014 by owner Jeffrey Good, the self-proclaimed “Master of Pits”. The business solely operated out of a tent until 2017, when a cooking trailer was purchased to serve clients better. These upgrades opened up a lot more venue possibilities, which have made us able to travel to a wide variety of events and locations. We cater weddings, corporate events, festivals, and family parties. For every event, we curate a menu that fits each client’s wants and needs. We have been serving the best BBQ in Bridgwater, Va, since 2014, and can’t wait to cater your next event!

I grew up in Bridgewater and graduated from Turner Ashby High School. I received an AAS Degree in Computer Electronics, and a Certificate in Computer Networking from Blue Ridge Community College. I was a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy. I started my cooking journey outside on a Sterno Stove that I used in Scouting as a child. I would cook for myself when I wanted something other than what mom was fixing. As a teenagers, my sister and I would take turns preparing meals during the week as a part of our household chores. Throughout the years, I helped with numerous Chicken BBQs, preparing over 800 halves of Chicken at a time to sell to various groups in the Bridgewater community. This led to my coworkers asking me to bring in samples of what I made. This led to them purchasing food. Since then, my passion for cooking has grown into a business.
I have a passion for cooking and smoking food and a desire to be my own boss, so naturally, catering seemed a good career to pursue. I was drawn to barbecuing because of the variety of cooking techniques and the array of rubs and sauces to make my product unique. After a lot of experimenting, I’ve come up with my signature flavors which has led me to receive numerous awards for my barbecue.
We are a family-based business that started in 2014. I am proud to serve the community an awesome and unique product at reasonable prices alongside my family. We hope these qualities will make our customers come back for seconds!
