Great News

We are having a great time today with the SQ36 BBQ Smoker and the PR42 Pig Roaster fired up, cooking 28 pork butts. If you doubt the seriousness, come on over and you’ll see what I mean. Cold Springs Garden Center (parent company of Yoder’s Smoky Mountain Barbecue) is having open house and Mother’s Day celebration Friday and Saturday (May 6 and 7).

On the menu is homemade donuts and coffee in the forenoon, pulled pork sandwiches and BBQ samples around noon. If you drop by tomorrow (Friday) we’ll be cooking more pork butts for the next day. We plan to have the SQ36 Offset Smoker fired both days with chicken, sausage, and pork ribs for samples (until they are consumed). All free, by the way.

If you are close enough and it suits, please do come by. While you’re here, you can check out our fresh load of Meadow Creek inventory, watch the Meadow Creek equipment in action, and the best—fill your belly with authentic southern-style BBQ!

Here are some pictures I shot today to show you what’s happening around here.

We’re not done adding photos, but at least now you can browse a separate photo gallery for each cooker in the Barbecue Smokers category. 

Here ya go: Barbeque Smoker Photos

I have so much other stuff to share with you, like recipes, how tos on grilling and smoking, pics of what we’ve cooked, and a few “good” reasons why you should not buy one of these awesome Meadow Creek cookers from us, ever.

Do you have a good barbecue sauce to share? Today I’ve got two exciting outlets for your sauce creations!

2011 Sauces of Honor

Here is your chance to see how your sauce compares with the best of the best. National Barbecue News is hosting their first Sauces of Honor barbecue sauce contest.

Kell of NBBQN says, “This will be the most unique sauce competition in the world.” He says anyone is welcome to enter. The goal of this sauce contest is to honor the best barbecue sauces that accompany different cuts of smoked meat.

If you have a sauce you feel great about, read the rules and fire your sample(s) off to National Barbecue News now.

The deadline to enter is this coming Friday at 5 PM (April 15, 2011).

My Barbecue Sauce Recipe Book

Maybe you have a barbecue sauce recipe that you want to share with everyone. Some of my subscribers want to learn how to make amazing barbecue sauces.

I’d like to compile a bunch of BBQ sauce recipes into one big “saucy” recipe book. So I need you, my subscribers and blog readers, to help me out.

Click here to submit your recipe, and it’s very likely I’ll put it in my book. Also, I’ll be sure to send you a copy once it’s done.

Without the help of my readers, it won’t happen. So I look forward to hearing from you.

Have fun!

PS. What good is sauce without a good BBQ smoker or grill? Check out Meadow Creek’s revolutionary barbecue cookers and trailers.

Now Famous Dave himself owns a Meadow Creek Chicken Cooker. Watch what he has to say about Meadow Creek cookers.

Just a quick note to let you know that we got a price increase from Meadow Creek. I know this isn’t exciting news for anyone buying a Meadow Creek BBQ cooker…

BUT, you still have a little time left to buy on this year’s prices!

Check out these links to Meadow Creek’s revolutionary barbecue equipment:

Chicken Cookers — The *revolutionary* chicken flippers.
Barbecue Smokers — Top class, reverse-flow tank smokers.
Pig Roasters — Whole hog cookers that smoke almost any meats.
Custom Barbecue Trailers — Arrange your selection of Meadow Creek cookers on a top quality trailer.
Stainless Steel Sinks — Mobile sink units for catering and other events with built-in hot and cold water supply.
Grills — Rugged gas and charcoal grills for grilling for crowds.

So, get your order in by December 31, and you can take advantage of the lower prices. After that the new prices will go into effect.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Have fun,

Lavern
