BBQ Pro Shop – Knife and Sauce Giveaway

August 4 – This just in! BBQ Pro Shop has decided to sweeten(naturally though) the giveaway deal by adding a jar of Meat Mitch Naked Sauce.

Simply RETWEET any tweet about the contest for a chance to win or if you go to the BBQ Pro Shop site HERE and find out what two ingredients are NOT in their BBQ sauce just comment below or tweet “Meat Mitch Naked Sauce is_______and _______free” and you’ll get three additional entries.

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.

Draper’s BBQ – End of July Giveaway

If you ask anyone in my house what rub I should put on a steak, pork shoulder, chicken, or brisket the unanimous response will be “Draper’s BBQ A.P. Rub!” There’s a similar response when asking what sauce should be used (“Draper’s BBQ!”). I think the reason is that Shane Draper from Draper’s BBQ has done an incredible job of balancing flavors without being overpowering (they let the rubs and sauces enhance the meat instead of masking or overshadowing it).

So it is with great excitement that I announce the End of July Giveaway with Draper’s BBQ. Here’s what you can win:

(2) 18 oz Bottles of Draper’s BBQ Smokin’ Sauce
(2) 5.5 oz Jars of Draper’s BBQ A.P. Rub
(4) Draper’s BBQ Pint Glasses
(1) DBQ Apron

You receive an entry by doing ANY of the actions below:

1. Tweet about the contest using @KevinsBBQJoints in the tweet so I can track.

Snow’s BBQ Giveaway – Man Up Texas BBQ / Kevin’s BBQ Joints

I am extremely excited to announce that Man Up Texas BBQ and Kevin’s BBQ Joints are banding together to put on a Snow’s BBQ Giveaway. My excitement for this new giveaway is two-fold. First off, I’ve dreamt of traveling to Lexington, Texas to visit Snow’s BBQ since I read about them in the June 2008 issue of Texas Monthly where they were ranked #1. I’ve been intrigued that such a well reviewed BBQ joint is ONLY open on Saturdays from 8AM until they sell out. Secondly, I’m teaming up with Man Up Texas BBQ. This is huge for me as I have great respect for all of the hard work Drew does for BBQ, especially with his incredible Texas BBQ Blog. If you’re not checking it out daily and/or following him on Twitter you definitely should now.

There will be THREE lucky winners. Here are the prizes:

1st Person Drawn Wins:
- 1 Whole Brisket from Snow’s BBQ

2nd Person Drawn Wins:
- 2 Rings of Snow’s Original Sausage and 2 Rings of Snow’s Jalapeno Sausage

3rd Person Drawn Wins:
- Snow’s T-Shirt
- Snow’s Baseball Cap
- Snow’s Koozie

The giveaway will run from Wednesday July 6th until midnight Pacific on Monday July 18th.

You receive an entry by doing ANY of the actions below:

1. Tweet about the contest using @ManUpTexasBBQ and @KevinsBBQJoints in the tweet.
2. Comment below this post or on Man Up Texas BBQ’s post about the giveaway (Be sure to leave enough information that we can get in touch with you if you are a winner).
3. Click “Like” and/or leave a comment below the Facebook posts about the contest by either Man Up Texas BBQ or Kevin’s BBQ Joints.
