We had so much fun doing our Online "I believe in BBQ Santa!" Giveaway that we are bringing it to the shop!

Today (the 22nd) and Tomorrow (the 23rd), the 12th and 25th person to stop into the shop and say "I believe in BBQ Santa!" Will get a free pack of pulled pork with their purchase! Limit one try per person, per day.

Also, these are the last two days to stop into the shop and still pick up sauce at the 2011 prices. Stock up now!

Well, it's that time of the year again. We're looking at shutting up the shop doors until spring. Don't worry, you'll still be able to purchase sauce online and at other local retailers at well but, the ribs will be gone until spring.

So, if you haven't stocked up for the long winter, now is the time to do it! We have a severely limited supply of ribs and right now it is a first ordered first served basis. Odds are we won't have enough to make it until Saturday of this week so, you better get in early.

For those who gave the gift of sauce for Christmas this year, we thank you. It might be too late now to get an order to your friends and family in time but, 2012 is just around the corner. Don't miss out on stocking up your pantry at the 2011 prices while you still can.

We hope everyone is having a great holiday season and getting to spend lots of time with friends and family.

We do!

And, to show it, we are having a sauce give away by giving a gift pack to one lucky winner valuing over $50.00 in sauce, seasonings, and other goodies!

This normally would be the time of year to be thinking about giving the gift of sauce to your friends and family and it still is but, you might also want to think about giving the gift of sauce to yourself.

Truth is, we haven't raised our prices in 5 years but, with the way the economy has been we've had to make a choice, either we allowe the quality of our products to suffer or, we raise our prices. I simply will not allow us to produce a product that we are not proud of. There is a quality and an integrity that you as our customers have come to expect and I refuse to let you down. Therefore, the prices are going to be going up at the start of the new year. I won't give you the exact prices just yet but, it is going to be around a 20%-28% increase. I know this might seem like a big jump to some of you but, it will mean that we won't have to raise our prices again for quite a long time. Also, as a side note, many of our competitors charge much more than we do already and it doesn't make much sense for us to be providing our customers with just as good, if not superior, product for far less than the rest.

It is our hope in the next up coming year that we might be able to have some occasional discounts or sales at times to o show our appreciation to our loyal customers but, I can't guarantee when they will be or for how much at this point in time.

The good news though is that you still will be able to get sauce at the 2011 prices until the first of the year. So, when you're thinking about giving the gift of sauce this year, don't forget to give some to yourself as well. Don't forget, if you are planning on having your order get there in time for Christmas, you need to place it by December 18th at the latest.

We thank all of our loyal fans, friends, and customers for their support and look forward to an outstanding holiday season and a fantastic new year.

Sincerely,

Tom Porter

Head Sauce Maker &
Co-Owner

P.S. If you are looking to pick up ribs before our shop closes, you need to get your orders in now! We are already pushing our meat producers to maximum production to fill the orders we have already gotten and can't guarantee to have any in stock come the 23rd of December so order now!
