Brad Prose from Chiles and Smoke

MEET BRAD

Welcome! I’m based in Phoenix and have a deep passion for grilling, barbecue, and vibrant flavors from around the globe. Chiles and Smoke started as a way to document my thoughts and ideas, but it has evolved into so much more.

Join me in exploring the exciting realm of global spice infusion through BBQ and grilling!
