Our Story
At the heart of Maplewood Barbecue lies a passion for the culinary arts that has been nurtured from an early age. Our founder, Wade Haselden, embarked on this flavorful journey with a love for the primal, timeless art of slow cooking with an open flame and smoke. This passion is more than just a hobby; it's a connection to our DNA, rooted in survival and history, even echoing biblical times. From the backyards of South Carolina to the barbecue havens of Texas, Wade has learned from the best. Studying under backyard heroes and legendary pitmasters. He earned his stripes in kitchens and restaurants at all levels. This extensive experience has culminated in the creation of Maplewood Barbecue, where the art of barbecue is celebrated and elevated through small batch specialty sauces and premium rubs. Our products are crafted with the same care and dedication that Wade has poured into his culinary journey. We want to empower every customer to become a backyard hero, creating memorable meals that bring people together. Maplewood Barbecue is about more than just great food; it's about community, connection, and giving back. Maplewood Barbecue is more than just a brand; it's a mission. As a veteran-owned company, we are deeply committed to giving back to those who have served our country. Our goal is to support veterans and active duty service members, particularly those deployed in combat areas. We believe in fostering a positive work environment where culinary passions can be shared and grown. At Maplewood Barbecue, we are dedicated to promoting good in the world. We strive to make a positive impact through our business practices, our support for veterans, and the high-quality products we offer. We believe that great food can bring people together and create positive change, and we're committed to being a force for good in everything we do.
