Front of TS120P BBQ Smoker

There’s a bit of excitement stirring as we announce Meadow Creek’s new TS120P BBQ Smoker. This new cooker is the push/pull-around version of the TS120 Tank Smoker on a trailer.

If you’re looking for a BBQ smoker with 11+ square feet of cooking area, but you’d rather not have the trailer, this handsome, offset barbecue cooker is the solution for you.

Customers who wish to store their barbecue smoker on the patio or keep the smoker mostly in one area, moving it in and out of storage between uses will appreciate the practicality of its 18″ air tires and locking, swivel casters on the end opposite the firebox.

Like our other tank smokers, the TS120P BBQ Smoker offers serious outdoor cooks an experience that many only dream of—careful and talented workmanship, food-grade stainless steel grates that are easy to clean and maintain, reverse flow draft with rounded tank ends for uniform temperatures, and a removable fire box grate and ash pan which allows ashes to fall down and the fire to keep burning efficiently.

Truly, the team of talented craftsmen at Meadow Creek Welding is working hard to bring you top quality and a class that is hard to beat.

Last week Marlin and I had the privilege of attending the 2009 Meadow Creek Dealer Day and Open House in New Holland, PA. The trip provided lots of value for Marlin and me and, for those of you interested in Meadow Creek cookers, we expect it will help us serve you better.

Besides shooting photos of the event, I took hundreds of cooker photos. I am looking for ways to bring our website visitors as close to our cookers as possible online, so I am excited to get lots of close-up photos on my website for you guys.

Some highlights of the trip include…

• Doughnuts and coffee in the mornings.
• Reconnecting with the Meadow Creek Welding team and dealers.
• A private meeting with Melvin, the owner of Meadow Creek, discussing ways we can partner with them efficiently long-term.
• Backyard smoking and curing meat seminars.
• Taking over 1,000 photos of cookers, dealer day, the auction, and open house.
• Smoking ribs in the rain.
• Pulled pork and barbecued chicken made on Meadow Creek pig roasters and chicken cookers.
• Homemade ice cream from the hit-and-miss ice cream machine.
• An auction to sell some of Ivan Stoltzfus’ (Melvin’s dad who passed away) personal items and other things.
• Some private time at the rental house relaxing and eating pizza.

Here are some photos from the trip I thought you would enjoy.

PR36 Backyard BBQ Smoker

We are excited to announce a new backyard BBQ cooker from Meadow Creek Welding, the PR36 Backyard BBQ Smoker. Built to match the superior quality of Meadow Creek’s commercial-grade construction, this BBQ cooker is great for backyard cookouts for family, friends, and small parties.

What I like best about the PR36 Backyard BBQ Smoker is that it’s a 2-in-1 convertible and priced to fit the budget of many backyard cooks. You can cook a wide variety of meats (including whole pigs) and cook meat using the method you choose—either smoked with low temperatures or grilled with direct heat and high temperatures.

The PR36 BBQ Smoker is ready to cook for approximately up to 75 people. You can haul it off to the neighborhood park and cook at a family reunion, invite a few friends over for a nice evening of barbecue and fellowship outside, or simply enjoy countless cookouts as a family on the back deck.

I’m looking forward to quite a few barbecue cookouts of ribs, chicken, pork butts, burgers, and more this summer. It seems I can already smell the aroma “sizzling” out of that cooker!

I’m ready. How about you?

Check out the PR36 BBQ Smoker today or take a look at our other backyard BBQ cookers.

I had a birthday yesterday, and it was a very special day for me and my family. Some time off work, quality time, lots of gifts, and special food. And to make it better Marlin cooked up some chicken breasts, ribs, and potatoes!

For lack of time, we weren’t able to smoke ribs, so he grilled chicken, ribs, and potatoes on the BBQ42 Chicken Cooker. Marlin is an expert chicken cooker and it was tops!
