My name is Kyle Casper. I was born & raised in the sunny city of St. Petersburg, Florida. By day, I'm a retail manager for Heights Meat Market in Tampa, Florida and by night, I turn into who all of you have learned to love. Sweet Tusk BBQ.

What fuel your passion for BBQ?

BBQ for all started when I would go over to my old co-workers house to throw down on a couple beers. He would break out the grill and cook some burgers, maybe even ribs and from that point on I said to myself "I want to do this". I bought my first smoker in 2019 and since then has been a positive domino effect. I started just posting pictures, then to making receipes to eventually partnering up with some major BBQ brands. Thus, Sweet Tusk BBQ was born. 

What is your end goal?

To me, I would never really say there is an end. I'm continuously learning new things each and everyday. What my goal is to do is to share my passion with others. Eventually starting a BBQ catering business and even possibly, opening my own restaurant.

Where did the name "Sweet Tusk" come from?

Once I started posting to social media, I wanted to give myself a unique name other than just my government name. I was just having a few garage beers with a good friend, throwing out names to each other and he said "Sweet Tusk". I've stuck with it ever since.

Why make BBQ related merchandise?

Ever since my high school days, I've had my hand in graphic/video design and editing. So in my free time I put that old hobby into what you see today. Atleast for my love of BBQ, I want to show it and express it in the best way possible. That's where my products come in! A lot of BBQ related stuff is hot garbage off Amazon. I wanted to set myself apart and create some cool and unqiue stuff.

Most of them items I don't have much of a mark up on. I do this soley so people can enjoy some killer merch!
