Summer is heating up–what better time to have a BBQ! You’ll need all the essentials. From locally made sauces and seasoning to spatulas and tongs, here’s your checklist to throw the best BBQ around. Take in the fresh aroma of smoked ribs. Oh soo good!
Uncle Jammy’s Sauces & Seasoning
Pittsburgh’s very own Uncle Jammy’s lets “the sauce speak for itself”. They feature a great variety of unique sauces and rubs. Including these delicious flavors: Smile for Smokey BBQ (sweet and tangy tomato and apple cider vinegar based BBQ sauce), Area 51 (other-worldly avocado-jalapeno sauce made with gold tequila), Hooray for IPA (tangy tomato mustard IPA beer BBQ sauce with IPA’s superior flavor). Also check out the Gold Dust (dry rub) and River City Rub (dry rub). Try all of them!
Steelers BBQ Set
Show off your Yinzer pride with the Steeler themed spatula, tongs, and fork. Sure it’s only training camp time, but it’s always a good thing to rep some Steeler merch. The spatula also has a bottle opener! Perfect for a summer night and tailgating season.
BBQ Caddy
Store all of your supplies–condiments, seasonings, tools, utensils. It’s all there. Very simple, very convenient. It’s going to get messy, but you’ll be just fine with the paper towel holder!
Pittsburgh Gas Grill and Heater Company
Premium grills since 1986! Pittsburgh Gas Grill features stainless steel grill racks and stainless steel burners, built for a lifetime of use. For “low” and “slow” cooking check out the smoker grills, manufactured in America!
Pittsburgh BBQ Company
If you don’t feel like actually grilling, and you’d rather take the convenient way, then check out the Pittsburgh BBQ Company! They have smoked Carolina Style BBQ! And a number one ranking in Pittsburgh Magazine and Yelp. Try their amazing smoked rack of ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and smoked brisket. They have two carry out locations–Pittsburgh–next to the Days Inn on Banksville Road, just minutes outside of downtown. Also, Murrysville–6625 William Penn Highway.
