Smoked Local

How it started VS How it’s goin …

I’m super excited to be cooking for another Shots For Soldiers event tomorrow! For those that don’t know, Shots For Soldiers is a non-profit that treats veterans and first responders with free regenerative medicine from Enso Doctors for joint and tendon injuries. I’ve been catering their events since the day they started, and I’ve met fellow veterans that have amazing stories and huge hearts. Please go check out their page and I’ll be posting an update when these two briskets get cut! Happy Friday!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend. Some exciting news; we purchased a new smoker! We spent our Fourth burning in and seasoning the new pit and I made a small brisket because it’s just not 4th of July without a little BBQ. I‘m so excited to start cooking on the new pit; get ready for more BBQ from Smoked Local

Had such a good time cooking for my friends over Enso Discoveries, Zocbd, and Shots For Soldiers. This cook took a long time and was exhausting, however, it was quite rewarding to finish up. I also learned a lot from this cook, mostly that I need a much larger smoker! All in due time … Blessed be friends!

Spent the weekend picking mulberries. This become a family tradition in our home for several years now. Each year when the berries ripen we go out to Jayci’s parents place and get our hand dirty and stained purple and Jayci makes a pie … THE BEST PIE! She’s been teaching me her ways; and I intend to innovate … there will be pie!! 🔥💨🥧

Last nights work come to fruition 🙌🏽🥳

Thank you our friends over at Murdock Manhattan Chevrolet-Cadillac for giving us another opportunity to cater for their sales team today!

Over night pork butt a couple chickens and soon to be mashed potatoes 🤗

I can’t wait to drop this one off!!

This Betty is ready to smoke!! 💨 🔥 🐄
… stay tuned for updates and more!
Happy Friday 🥳

One of the companies Jayci works for, Zocbd, is having a Memorial Day sale! 35% off all their CBD products with code: MEMORIALDAY

They're an awesome, veteran-owned company, and they're all about giving back. Their CBD is really high-quality, and they have a Certificate of Analysis on every bottle, so you know it's not just cheap "h**p seed extract" like the gas station sells.

I take the Full-Spectrum tincture every night, and I take gummies when I need them during the day. Zo CBD has been awesome for my PTSD and sleep issues.

Even if you've tried CBD before, I promise you haven't tried CBD like this. Go check them out! www.zocbd.com

My quest for a signature BBQ sauce continues. Hope you’re all having a beautiful day!

Well, the kitchen is a mess but I’ve managed to slowly cobble together my very first BBQ Sauce! Generally, I am opposed to sauce and condiments, however, I’m told people enjoy it; so just like the Mojo marinade, I made my own.

You may notice the Boot Hill Distillery bottle included with the ingredients behind the sauce. I found they are “Local” to Kansas so I thought I’d throw a splash in. The flavor really adds to the classic BBQ vibe I was looking for!

Steven and I got to deliver a few orders of ribs around town tonight!! 🤗 Thank you so much to our customers, we appreciate you and we hope you enjoyed them!!

Then when we got home, we had AMAZING mojo pulled pork tacos for dinner!! 🤤💚

Happy National BBQ Day 2022!!!! 🐷🔥🌮

I love making ribs … just a couple hours left.
