In April I helped cook at the Cold Springs Garden Center Open House. Usually, we go more elaborate, but this year we decided to simplify and just grill hot dogs. I cooked them on a Meadow Creek BBQ36G Grill. It’s gas-fired and had the optional lid. I grilled 400 hot dogs on this thing during open house.

A couple weeks ago, we had a lot of fun cooking for Open House at Cold Springs Garden Center, the other company Marlin owns with my Dad. The event lasted two days, Friday and Saturday. We served homemade donuts and coffee in the mornings. Around 10:30 we started giving away grilled sausage sandwiches and barbecue samples.

In this post, I want to share some of the memories from those two days and entice you with ribs, wings, chicken, and Amish-made sausage from Lancaster County, PA.

We grilled the sausages on a BBQ42 Chicken Cooker. For samples, we grilled party wings with the sausage and smoked ribs (how growling delicious!) and split chicken breasts on my Meadow Creek SQ36 Smoker.

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 traveled to Meadow Creek Welding again for our annual trip to their Dealer Day and Open House. It is always a fun time of reconnecting with the folks at Meadow Creek and being around lots of barbecue, as well as learning how to serve you better. Here are a bunch of photos we took when we were in Amish country (don’t miss the horses and the ice cream machine).
