BBQ & Smokehouse Consultancy for Hotels, Restaurants & Clubs in the UAE
The Pitmaster Standard
American pitmasters Hunter and Dave help UAE hotels, restaurants and clubs launch BBQ and live-fire concepts that work: custom pits built in the UAE, menus your team can repeat, and hands-on training on the fire.
Who is this for?
Live-Fire BBQ Done Right, From Day One

Hotels & Resorts
Brunches, poolside grills and signature smokehouse restaurants.
Restaurants & New Concepts
From a single smoker on the line to a full American BBQ concept.
Golf, Beach & Members’ Clubs
Live-fire terraces and event-day BBQ that members come back for.
Caterers & Event Companies
Mobile pits, crews and menus that feed hundreds without drama.

BBQ Consultancy FAQs
What does a BBQ consultancy project cost?
Every project is scoped to your venue. After a discovery call we send a fixed proposal covering pits, menu development, training and launch support.
Do we have to buy Exit 10 pits?
No. We can work with the equipment you have, but most clients choose custom Exit 10 pits because they are built in the UAE to fit their space, with short lead times and local service.
How long does it take to launch a smokehouse concept?
Pit smokers are built in 5–6 weeks and grills in 1–4 weeks. Menu development and team training run alongside the build, so many concepts can launch within two to three months.
Do you work outside Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes. We work across the UAE, and can discuss projects elsewhere in the GCC.
Can you run the BBQ for our launch event?
Yes. Pitmasters Hunter and Dave can run the fire on opening day and at events. See BBQ catering & pitmaster hire.
