Kevin's BBQ Joints

It’s not often that I get jealous of the potential winners for a giveaway that I’m having, but when you open your fridge and find you’re out of one of your favorite BBQ sauces (in this case it’s Big Butz BBQ Sauce X-Tra Hot), you start to get envious that someone (actually two lucky people) will be winners of a great prize package from Tom Porter at Big Butz BBQ Sauce. If you don’t know Tom, HERE is a piece I wrote about his sauces a little while back.

Above and beyond the fact that he makes incredible BBQ sauces and rubs/seasonings, he’s genuinely a good guy who is immensely supportive, especially within the BBQ community. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be following him on twitter .

OK, I could go on and on. So here’s the scoop:

The two winners will get to select any two of the 5 sauces made by Big Butz BBQ Sauce and any two of their rubs…and as a bonus each will get 2 packets of Carolina Magic Sauce Mix.

Here’s a list of their sauces:
1 Jar of Big Butz BBQ Sauce – Original
1 Jar of Big Butz BBQ Sauce – Hot
1 Jar of Big Butz BBQ Sauce – X-Tra Hot
1 Jar of Big Butz BBQ Sauce – Cranberry
1 Jar of Big Butz BBQ Sauce – No Butz

Here’s a list of their rubs:
1 6 oz. packet of Big Butz – Pig Pollen
1 6 oz. packet of Big Butz – Cow Pow
1 6 oz. packet of Big Butz – Chicken Dust

Here are shots of the prizes sans the No Butz BBQ Sauce as I didn’t have a photo:

If you love BBQ, you already know about Pork Barrel BBQ, but if for some reason they aren’t a familiar name here’s some additional info. They are first off a BBQ Sauce and Rub Company (in over 1,000 stores across the country and really knock it out of the park on taste and consistency) started by Heath Hall and Brett Thompson (you can read their interesting story here), but are really expanding their BBQ net so to speak. After appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank they have slowly become an amazing internet/entrepreneurial success story in their own right (they have over 4,700 facebook fans and over 31,000 twitter followers) having launched a BBQ cologne called Que, Pork Barrel BBQ Peanuts, and just opened their first BBQ joint (aptly named Pork Barrel BBQ) in Del Ray, Virginia.

They are really nice guys too, which makes me even prouder to announce my new giveaway partnering with them. Here’s the prize packages:

Grand Prize
2 bottles of Pork Barrel BBQ Original BBQ Sauce
2 bottles of Pork Barrel BBQ Sweet BBQ Sauce
2 bottles of Pork Barrel BBQ Mustard BBQ Sauce
2 jars of Pork Barrel BBQ All-American Spice Rub
1 can of Pork Barrel BBQ Peanuts

Second Prize/Third Prize
1 bottle of Pork Barrel BBQ Original BBQ Sauce
1 bottle of Pork Barrel BBQ Sweet BBQ Sauce

August 1 – I’m really excited about this week’s giveaway as it involves a great knife and some insanely good BBQ sauce. For the longest time people have asked that I have a giveaway that includes a BBQ tool so I’ve teamed up with BBQ Pro Shop to offer the following prize package:

1 – Guy Fieri Knuckle Sandwich 5.5″ Dragon Dagger

Whatever your opinion is of Guy Fieri is, his knives are first rate. This Knuckle Sandwich 5.5″ Dragon Dagger made by Ergo features a serrated blade and fork prongs on the tip to pick up food. This razor sharp knife was designed for slicing or trimming small cuts of meat, small fruits, veggies, cheese, breads and sandwiches. Would be pretty cool to own.

1 – Jar of Big Butz BBQ Sauce – Xtra Hot

This sauce is incredible. I can definitely vouch for it as it’s one of my favorite sauces of all times. Tom Porter from Big Butz BBQ creates very well balanced sauces that go great with pork, chicken, lamb, beef, and really just about anything. If you don’t win this giveaway you should figure out a way to get your hands on some for sure.
