Greetings from the Midwest, renowned for the great food we grow on the land, and now the great products we offer to make it even better! As President and CEO of Bar B Que Specialties, Inc., I am both pleased and very proud to be able to acquaint you with our fine line of products created to enhance every meal and barbecuing experience. From our variety of barbecue sauces, to our distinctive line of rubs, as well as our new grilling smoke additives and our lump charcoal, you will find an excellence of product that is hard to surpass in today’s market.

We are very pleased with our all new line of sauce products, which are distinctly different from those of our competitors. We use very little water in production, which results in a product that is thicker in texture and more fully flavored. This absence of water, when coupled with the ingredients in every bottle, also introduces another unique trait to these sauces. When applied to a meat product and heated briefly, it actually caramelizes on top of the meat, so the wonderful barbecue taste stays on top to be fully enjoyed, in contrast to the many watered down versions that slide off of the cooked meat.

In our company’s food vending operation, we learned early on about the benefits of adding seasoning to any meat products - not only to add flavor, but to seal in the precious juices that keep the meat juicy and moist. After much experimentation, we came upon what we believe is the perfect combination of ingredients to compliment the flavor of each and every meat they are used on. What began with our basic Premium Rub soon expanded to include our Cajun Rub, adding a touch of energetic heat to the original rub; our Sweet Rub, with just a smile of brown sugar added to sweeten up the taste buds; and now the new Chipotle Rub, which adds unique spices combined with fervent heat to make the meat a memorable experience. Expanding the use of this line of rubs/seasonings, they make great additions to casseroles and everyday family recipes, and when added to sour cream, they make a delightful dip!

Employing one of the by-products of the Midwest’s farming operations, we have now developed flavor-enhanced corn cob pellets into our “It’s Smokin” Grilling Smoke. Placed on the coals or heat source of the barbecue enthusiast’s grill, they transform it into a temporary smoker and add additional flavoring to grilled meat products. This one-time use product makes the everyday grilling experience a truly memorable event, inexpensively, and with very little effort!

Barbecue champions swear by the use of charcoal in their grilling successes. In our own vending operation, we soon learned that the Cadillac of charcoal is premium Lump Charcoal. Formed of charred pure wood, lump charcoal burns cleaner than charcoal briquets, as well as lasting considerably longer, with a sweet aroma that makes a grilled meal memorable. We now offer quality lump charcoal in 10 and 20 pound bags, the same charcoal we use in our own operation.

My company’s goal is to make every meal distinctively memorable. I truly believe that our products can help to achieve that goal, and that we offer the best products on the market today. We hope that you will try each and every one of them, and see for yourself.

Sincerely,
John K. Burt
