I’d say that after this past year we’re all ready for National Barbecue Month to get rocking but the snow that fell here in Western PA last weekend feels like one last shot from mother nature before all of our pits are finally lit. I know that idea seems unfathomable down south but we work with what we have and we rock it.
This year we’re going to see a return to backyard cooking and the demand for locally sourced meats will take off. The worlds for local libations and bbq are so close to coming together that once it happens you may even find yinzers crossing bridges and going through tunnels.
11 confirmed barbecue competitions with several more being finalized.
Locally owned Ace Hardware stores have upgraded their grilling and bbq selections and now carry rubs and various brands of charcoal you’d only see on YouTube or all National Barbecue Month long on Cooking Channel.
What about local sauces, spices, and rubs? I have you covered on that also. Throughout the summer our test kitchen will be reviewing products made here in Western PA and taking a few out on the competition trail to see how they stand up against the big guys. If you would like to send anything that doesn’t require a back brace to lift, ship it to the following address. Big items contact me using the contact form.

You’ll find Central Texas, Carolinas, Kansas City, Memphis, and Pittsburgh style in our area. Wait, Pittsburgh style? We’re cracking that one open this summer so make sure you’re subscribed and following us. You won’t want to miss the podcast.
Podcast? Yes, podcast. After 15 years of a craft beer podcast, I need to get that stale beer smell out first.
