Meet The Team At Angry BBQ
Mike & Jannah Haas (Founders/Chief Editors)
We are Mike and Jannah Haas. We married in 2005 and have been blessed with 2 daughters. For our daytime jobs; Mike is in corporate sales and Jannah is a Physical Therapist. Through the years, we’ve had our share of good and bad BBQ. One of our favorite past-times while on holidays is to indulge in great food and drink. When we return home, we do our best to re-create these culinary experiences. Mike, in particular, has had the opportunity (through work) to travel across most of the United States and Canada. Through those travels he has developed a passion for not just food, but also the process of creating great BBQ. Combined we have over 40 years of BBQ experience; each beginning in our teen years. As a newly wed couple, we purchased our first smoker and the rest is history.
All content on our site is either written or edited by us to ensure we meet the highest quality standards. We do use freelance writers to help put articles together from time to time but nothing is put online without a green light from us.
All recipes and tips have been tested, modified, and perfected to our personal standards. Typically, we try to experiment with the equipment on our site with our own hands. Our closest friends and family are BBQ fanatics; therefore, we are always exchanging recipes, tips, and comparing accessories and gear!
