Meadow Creek Trip 2014

Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

Meadow Creek Auction

Our annual trip to Meadow Creek has become a fun tradition for us. Melvin always schedules Dealer Day on a Thursday, the same week they host a KCBS judging class, a benefit auction, and Meadow Creek Open House. The judging class is Friday morning; in the afternoon, they always have a large benefit auction. The food stand is open all day where they sell barbecue lunches, Amish-made pies and ice cream, and other goodies as a fund-raiser for medical bills. Open House is always a big deal on Saturday, where Meadow Creek gives away thousands of barbecue meals.

The meat for the judging class, food stand, and open house is cooked on-site with Meadow Creek chicken cookers and pig roasters and a Southern Pride smoker.

Friday and Saturday they had some people demoing different smokers and grills, including Big Green Eggs and a Meadow Creek TS250 Smoker and a TS70P Smoker.

Meadow Creek BBQ26S Review

Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker

As a Meadow Creek reseller, we’ve been grilling with the BBQ26S Chicken Cooker for years. Last month I got one of these for my own backyard as a birthday gift, so I thought I’d show you how Meadow Creek is changing backyard grilling with their chicken cookers.

Meadow Creek originally designed their Chicken Cookers for grilling large amounts of bone-in skin-on chicken pieces. The deep pits are part of the secret in grilling bone-in chicken; you still have a direct fire, but not as direct as a regular gas or park grill. (Have you ever tried grilling bone-in chicken on one of those?)

The trailer units with three or more pits make it easy to crank out huge amounts of grilled chicken. Instead of wiring two big grates together and having a couple of big men flipping them by hand, these grills have a rotating sandwich grate. The grates hinge along one side and lock on the other. Now even a 12-year-old can flip your chicken!

Grilled Thighs on the Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker

Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker

Sunday was Father’s Day, and we spent part of the day at my parent’s place. Marlin grilled a batch of chicken thighs (skinless/boneless) on his Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker, and it was top notch.

I admit, the chicken doesn’t look too great in pictures cause I shot them on my phone, but it was astonishing in real-life! Juicy and full of flavor.

How to Grill Chicken for Crowds

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

Last week Meadow Creek had their annual dealer meeting and Open House. Marlin and I always make sure we’re there for the dealer meeting and at least part of the open house.

It was absolutely great being there again. I came home with some new inspiration, as well as confirmations of things I need to be doing to sell more Meadow Creek equipment. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t promote schemes that trick people into buying our smokers and grills. I’ll leave that for the schematic tricksters who are content with forcing people to make decisions.

My goal is to educate the people in my market and help them achieve their goals. One of those goals is to grill chicken for events, such as fund-raisers, auctions, open houses, weddings, etc. Not just grill chicken, but chicken that is perfect from head to toe. Fully cooked on the bone, but not dried out on the surface. Cooked uniformly from east to west, north to south. Not just perfect chicken, but huge amounts of it.

Does this sound like your dream? Meadow Creek chicken cookers make it easy as pie to grill perfect chicken for hundreds. It was fun to see it done again last week.

Favorite Food + Favorite Food = Mental Pizzazz

Friday, March 30th, 2012

For as long as I can remember, homemade pizza and barbecue have been very special to me. We NEVER in all my growing up years had enough homemade pizza or grilled burgers to satisfy my cravings. My mom absolutely was and still is a great cook, but for some reason, we didn’t get around to firing up the grill every two days and having pizza every Friday night. You know how it goes. Life is practical, not always full of pizzazz.

Okay, so getting down to my point, if you want to really discover your favorite food, try combining two of them. Depending how you do it, the result will either be mental pizzazz—or possibly mental shock. By the way, I am certainly NOT talking about slapping hamburgers on top of pizza dough and squirting a little ketchup and mustard.

Here’s a sneak peak of what I mean:

Grilled Chicken and My Birthday

Friday, March 9th, 2012

grilled_chicken_plateAs some of you already know, my birthday was this week. We don’t all feel love and appreciation the same way, but gifts really strike a chord in my heart. My wife had a great time getting ready for my birthday. Instead of putting 28 candles on the cake (I guess I’m officially too old for candles now), she wrapped up 28 gifts. Please don’t think I got 28 smokers and grills. 🙂 A lot of the gifts were small items, such as jeans, peanut butter candy, and camera gear on my Amazon wishlist.

Marlin (my brother who works in sales) grilled chicken for us on his Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker. My wife made some sides and a chocolate / peanut butter cake with a chocolate glaze. (It was too good.) We had a great time with my whole family in the evening.
