At its core, Dead Meat Society is about four things:
Flame. Family. Community. Feed Everyone.
You don’t have to buy anything, know everything, or own the “right” grill to be part of this. If you believe in those four things and you’re willing to live them out, you’re already in the movement.
This is how you plug in.
Live the DMS Values
Start with how you show up around the flame:
- Flame – Respect the craft. Learn, experiment, and share what you know.
- Family – Take care of your people—blood, chosen, or brand new.
- Community – Use your grill to bring folks together, not push them apart.
- Feed Everyone – Cook more than you need and look for chances to share it.
Understand the purpose and our commitments:
DMS exists to bring grilling enthusiasts together, fight loneliness, and feed our communities. No politics, no BS—just real fellowship around fire.

Rep the DMS Brand
Repping the brand isn’t required—but it does help fuel what we’re building:
- Wear DMS shirts, hats, and gear at cookouts, games, and tailgates.
- Use DMS tools on your grill and share photos or videos of them in action.
- Gift DMS gear to other grillers who need a community to plug into.
When you rep the skull, you’re not just wearing a logo—you’re carrying the mission of Flame. Family. Community. Feed Everyone.
Spread the Word
The movement grows plate by plate, invite by invite:
- Tell friends and family about Dead Meat Society.
- Invite someone who usually eats alone to your next cook.
- Share DMS content, posts, and stories.
- Talk about the purpose: bringing grillers together to fight loneliness and feed our communities.
Flame. Family. Community.
Feed Everyone.
