Meet the Man Behind the Smoke — Mike Welsh, Owner of Conway BBQ Supply

Conway BBQ Supply was born out of a deep love for the craft of outdoor cooking and a desire to bring that passion to the Conway community. At the helm is Mike Welsh — a dedicated pitmaster, community supporter, and the driving force behind everything we do here. Mike grew up with fire in his blood and smoke in the air. His passion for BBQ goes far beyond the grill — it's about bringing people together, building community, and sharing the kind of food that feeds more than just hunger. Known locally as the Grill Sergeant, Mike has become a respected figure in Conway not just for his cooking, but for his heart. His story has been featured in 501 Life Magazine, where he sat down to share his journey, his love of the craft, and what it means to serve his community through food and fire. He has also been recognized by the Faulkner County Sheriff's Office for his ongoing community appreciation and support — a testament to the culture he's built around Conway BBQ Supply. Whether you're a backyard beginner or a seasoned competitor, Mike and the team at Conway BBQ Supply are here to help you fire up something great.
