Big Poppa's Smokers (Sterling Ball)
Not many people become legends in one field, but Sterling “Big Poppa” Ball is a legend in many. Understandably, being an award-winning bass designer, music industry entrepreneur, philanthropist, and accomplished musician can be a lot of work…that’s what led him to find a way to unplug through his passion for cooking and BBQ. Big Poppa believes that being outside with your grill is one of the best ways to enjoy life, while creating delicious food that your friends and family will love
One day, he decided the world needed some better smokers and the rest is history. As a world champion pitmaster and owner of Big Poppa Smokers, Sterling is here to help you become the hero of your backyard.
