About Us

André Lyons (Dré to most and sometimes Big Dré to others) is the founder and owner of Lyons Pride Backyard BBQ. While calling the Dallas Texas area home most of his life, "Dré" was born and raise in Tyler, Texas - The Rose Capital. Being raised where many still probably call "the country" and then living in the city, has provided a unique convergence of food influences, ideas and interests for Dré. So Dré is a country boy with city predilections, that are reflected in his approach to food; eating it and cooking it.

BBQ'ing was just an "every now and again pleasure" at first. Then it became a hobby as well as food experimentations, birthed out of a desire to come up with variations of foods experienced in the city, excluding and/or substituting a ccoutrements and ingredients with his own. Also to save a little money on eating out in the city so much...

This hobby eventually became a part-time passion, where Dré would begin teaching himself the art Pitmaster'ing - literally in his 'backyard & kitchen", drawing from his East Texas roots of old school "drum barrel" barbequing and gleaning from perspectives of some BBQ Pitmasters of the day. Dré has volunteered his services to various local social and sport events, provided meats for friends, neighbor's, co-workers, and catered for numerous non-profits and churches.

Lyons Pride Backyard BBQ was initially conceptualized as a "Mobile Smoker Trailer/Pop Up BBQ Stand for the public in late 2019. But with the advent of COVID in 2020, it being declared a Pandemic spring of 2020 and it's overwhelming US surge, like everyone and everything else, Lyons Prides BBQ concept wasn't immune to all that would follow from the pandemic. BUT these unfortunate circumstance fueled inspiration for some innovation to Dré's "Backyard BBQ'ing", with a not so new idea. "Vacuum Sealing" and then freezing...

While nothing can ever replace the heavenly euphoria of experiencing smoked/grilled meat straight from the pit to plate, it is no secret to many that Vac Packing meat is a proven method in helping avoid meat spoilage and preserving it longer. Vac Packed AND Frozen Smoked meat, likewise can preserve, protect and prolong it's integrity and freshness for up 3 months. According to some, 6 months up to 2 - 3 years... Lyons Pride Backyard BBQ has a simple 4 step approach to help preserve the optimal quality possible of our product, which includes Vac Packing and Freezing. "(1)MEAT PURCHASE > (2)TO PREP > (3)TO PIT > (4)TO VAC PACK & FREEZE."

,

Meat is shipped frozen/chilled with ice pack(s), in insulated package, to maintain temp in transit. Ice pack(s) may thaw in transit.

Upon arrival, remove from package, remove ice pack(s), place vac-sealed meat in fridge until ready for use.

We are still planning for our Mobile Smoker Trailer/Pop Up BBQ Stand in the near future. So if you're in the local Dallas (Mesquite/Sunnyvale/Forney) areas, be on the look out!

Brisket

Our brisket is essentially a good ol' Texas Style brisket, often characterized by a simple Dalmatian Dry Rub (salt & coarse black pepper). But we add in a few other dry essences of preference, that also adds flavor to the bark giving the brisket a little more personality. Pecan, hickory or oak wood - or sometimes a mix of 2 of the 3, is our smoke fuel.
