A Guide to
America’s BBQ
One country, many BBQs
You’ll find great BBQ all across the USA. It’s woven into our history. Food over open fire pits inspires visions of pioneers and cowboys cooking while they explore this great country. As settlers dispersed throughout the nation, their distinct cultures and local wood flavors grew the country’s BBQ roots. Because of this, BBQ styles are very regional, and it’s these differences that make BBQ so special.
East TEXAS BBQ—
The SADLER’S SMOKEHOUSE® Style
In Texas, there are two distinct BBQ styles: East Texas and Central Texas. If you didn’t know they’re different, don’t worry — we’re here to help.
The SADLER’S SMOKEHOUSE® brand is quintessential East Texas BBQ. East Texas has the benefit of being at the crossroads of 3 great regions: Texas, the Midwest, and the South. This creates a style that combines the smoke and beef of Texas, the pork focus of the South, and the flavors and variety of the Midwest. The end result is a delicious BBQ marriage of the best parts, taking cues from settlers who hailed from Eastern Europe and developed its meat-market style.
What we do every day is authentic, Texas style BBQ. This cooking method is a process of smoking the meat slowly over various hardwoods to create unique flavors, like hickory, oak, mesquite, and applewood. By cooking with smoke, we’re able to break down the connective tissue and render fat over a long period of time, producing a tender cut of meat.
Other brands will use artificial smoke flavorings or funnel smoke from outside machinery into their pits. This creates an easily identifiable, inauthentic eating experience. Here in Texas, smoke is the star of the show. When you want honest-to-goodness Texas BBQ, just remember our promise:
WE DON’T BLOW SMOKE™.
