TED McDONNELL / FOR THE ARKTiburon resident Brette Daniels of 2 Bros Barbeque prepares ribs and chicken for a catering event. He and his son, Brette Jr., run the catering business with brother Barry Alexander, smoking the meats at his mother’s house in San Pablo.

For Tiburon resident Brette Daniels, barbecue runs in the family.

His grandfather and father were both grill masters, he says, using a low-and-slow cooking method to smoke meats for eight to 10 hours over freshly cut pecan, cherrywood and hickory wood.

Now, Daniels, 57, is continuing the family tradition with 2 Bros Barbeque, the catering business he runs with his son, Brette Jr., and his brother Barry Alexander. Mom’s involved, too: The meat is smoked at her house in San Pablo, and one of their dessert offerings is her special 7-Up cake.

They prepare the sides and desserts at North Richmond Missionary Baptist Church, where Alexander runs a weekly barbecue pop-up, while Daniels and his son deliver to clients across Marin and the East Bay.
