Been so busy we forgot to celebrate the end of 17 years on April 15th with the business that started out in my Barber Shop years ago. No real dream, plan or even hopeful thoughts of what it might lead to even if it did work out. 2008 was a horrible time to start a business with the recession and housing/economic shape in panic. Sometimes if ya don't listen to the naysayers and just get after it and grind, good things can happen. A strong work ethic and a little luck never hurt either and most importantly the strong and trusted relationships with top BBQ manufactures

Thanks to a loyal customer base for allowing us to stay in business and create a place where there's been a whole lot of good times and memories and more to come. It's been rewarding to have played a small part in many bbq food businesses succeeding as well as thousands and thousands of backyard family get to gathers over the years be a success with the products we offer and the advice given if asked. Those great meals and family barbecues are memories and opportunities to try to make sense of this crazy world we live in and make it more tolerable.

I've had some good buddies lend a hand more times than I can count on. This success story involves many more folks other than myself. Have enjoyed the times with my son and father here and the 3 generations spending time and working side by side. Those are memories that most folks don't get to experience and it's been something that I'll forever be grateful for. The son helps out now a days when home from college. My father Mike... or "Wally" as I've always called him... is a tough fight with Stage 4 Terminal Esophagus Cancer. If you've been to the store in the past, you've certainly met or been entertained by my old man and his story telling skills.

While his knowledge or care of Barbecue aside from eating it has always been really zero.....his people skills with customers and desire to spend "bonus time" with myself and his only grandchild kept him coming back to the store day after day for no pay when he could have been doing other things. He's still alive, just not able to be at the store anymore or at least currently. He served his country in the Army, retired from the Oregon State Police after 28 1/2 years in law enforcement as well graduated from the National FBI Academy. It's been odd not having him here daily the past 6 months. This business has provided for my family and has provided me to spend countless time with my son and father and that has been the best part of it no doubt.

I've met some really great friends along the way in this BBQ journey. My friend Myron Mixon once signed his book for me writing "BBQ makes great friends like you!" Yes indeed, you'll meet many new friends in BBQ and if you can cook good barbecue you'll meet all you want to and more!

Look forward to seeing you in the near future. Here's to year number 18 and beyond!

Stay well and best to you and your families.

THANK YOU!
Sam

Just received another 53ft semi filled with Barbecue products for the Pacific Northwest backyard cooking enthusiasts and BBQ Businesses to enjoy and make the experience just easier and more enjoyable…..

Stop on by our store and experience a taste of Eastern North Carolina goodness with Southern Q’s 100 Proof All Purpose Seasoning from my Buddy Mat Griner and do your taste buds a favor. We are the first West Coast BBQ Store to stock the product with his second seasoning following up shortly. It’s time to take your barbecue to another level. Mat recently told me it’s used on everything but ice cream and cake…. but I’d venture to say it would most likely improve those items as well! Thanks Mat and proud to support you and your lineup of products to come. In stock now!

Our newest retailer for our 100 Proof AP Seasoning is our friends at Sam's NW BBQ Co. in Sherwood, Oregon!

Thank you Sam!!!

16 pound Snake River Farms Wagyu Gold Brisket we cooked up recently on our Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Grill Smoker. 275 degrees for 2 hours then upped it to 300 degrees for an additional 4 1/2 hours using Myron Mixon’s Hickory Rub with a light dusting of Myron Mixon’s Hickory Salt. Two hour rest time and then we went to town on this amazing piece of meat…..

Beautiful looking Oregon Ducks painted YS640s Pellet Grill with multiple upgrades added. One customer wanted this and we brought in another identical grill. I’d bet that even head coach himself or my childhood friend and father of linebacker .boettcher would love to fire this bad ass looking grill up and let the smoke roll….

Great dinner tonight with a lazy Sunday afternoon cook to end the weekend. Seasoned with Myron Mixon’s Original Rub and nothing else. Delicious!
