The Fire Behind the Flame
Old Fireman’s BBQ was founded by Michael Skahill, a retired firefighter with a big heart, calloused hands, and a deep love for the firehouse bond. After decades of serving his community on the front lines, Michael swapped fire gear for grill tools — but his mission to serve never stopped.
Rooted in tradition, Old Fireman’s BBQ is more than just smoked meats and signature sauces. It’s a nod to brotherhood, resilience, and the joy of feeding a crowd. What started as weekend cookouts with friends has grown into events, catering, merch, and a following of folks who can taste the pride in every bite.
Michael runs Old Fireman’s BBQ with the same integrity and grit he brought to every fire call. Around here, the best meals aren’t just eaten — they’re shared. Whether you’re grabbing a plate at a local event or repping first responder pride in our gear, you’re part of a story that honors where we’ve been, who we serve, and what brings us together.
