HDM Smokers

A Houston meat smoker manufacturer

HDM Smokers started with a vision. A vision born from being part of the bbq community. Attending bbq events, assisting pitmasters and generally just being around good people with at least one thing in common…the love of food. For all that to happen one more thing is needed…Smoker Pits!

HDM Smokers

Slade Dinn, the co-founder, saw a need after learning just how long it took to take delivery of these highly sought smokers and set forth the path to open HDM Smokers and provide smoker pits not only to fulfill a need in the market but to do it effectively.

Paul Mata, part owner, chief operations manager and designer of HDM smokers, has been fabricating since his middle school shop class. This has been a passion of his for over 25 years.

He has taken his experience and adaptability to zero in on Slade and Glen’s vision for HDM Smokers… which is to build a company you can trust.
