Speaker Bio
DrumBo started in 2017 with the preproduction prototype that Alex built from an unused oil drum. Alex had been a keen Barbecue enthusiast and competed with the Team Q-Up for a number of years. Matt joined the family in 2018 and we knew right away there was a special connection with our combined passion for BBQ and building Barbecues. By 2019 we began our venture in creating a quality, affordable, handcrafted Canadian made product for everyone to enjoy. In January of 2021 we started building production prototypes and within a few months began daily production.
Now in our 4th year of production we offer 3 different models. The Pit Master and Legend Full size drums and the half size DrumBuddy.
Our mission is to “Take the fear out of charcoal cooking” and show the versatility cooking with live fire can offer along with the efficiency of no power and no gas; Just you and your pit creating masterful flavour combinations.
Our backgrounds as qualified tradesmen and specialization in power engineering, welding, coatings, mechanics and quality control allow us to bring you total confidence in choosing DrumBo as your only Charcoal Barbecue.
We are both passionate about cooking on our DrumBos and enjoy coming up with ideas and recipes that everyone can recreate and enjoy.
Each DrumBo is the result of countless hours of testing and tweaking to get each one to be uniquely yours. Our components and parts are laser cut and hand fitted to give each DrumBo a handcrafted feel. We have designed the DrumBo to be the Simplest of outdoor culinary companions to all your gatherings.
DrumBos are Handcrafted by Matt and Alex, Albertans who cook on them. We use our smokers every day. We don’t even own propane grills because of everything we’ve learned about cooking over charcoal and live fire and we’re happy to share all our barbecue secrets with you so that you can get the most from your DrumBo.
Matt Malo is a Journeyman welder, CWB Level 3 welding inspector, NACE level 2 coating inspector, ABSA welding examiner and Project Management Professional with a major passion for BBQ.
Alex Heath is a 22-year restaurant owner and entrepreneur. A Pit Master and KCBS Certified Barbecue Judge. Qualified British Army Bench fitter and mechanic. (A long time ago lol.) Alex is also a Red Seal Auto Technician, a Classically French trained Chef and a Power Engineer Class 4.
