Family-Owned in Kansas City by the American Fire BBQ Family
The Kansas City BBQ Store was founded in 2006 by Jeff and Joy Stehney, owners of the legendary Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que restaurants.
Today, the store continues that tradition under the ownership of the family behind American Fire BBQ & Grilling Supply — Greg, Becki, and Devin — longtime Kansas City barbecue enthusiasts dedicated to helping people cook better outdoors.
Together, we bring decades of experience in grilling, smoking, and outdoor cooking. From backyard weeknight dinners to full outdoor living spaces, our goal is simple: help people bring friends and family together around great food.
Our store is staffed by experienced BBQ cooks who can recommend the right products for your setup and share practical tips that improve your results.
We believe barbecue should be fun, rewarding, and shared. When you shop with us, you’re not just buying gear — you’re joining a community of backyard cooks and serious flavor enthusiasts who care about doing it right.
