Five BBQ Gifts for Father's Day

1. REAL smoked BBQ ribs, pulled pork & more, delivered! Our partner Pig of the Month smokes ribs the old-fashioned way for results that are sure to please any and all rib-lovers: Perfectly seasoned, tender-on-the-inside but crispy-on-the-outside, smoky and succulent—just tear-off-the-bones good barbecue. They also offer genuine Carolina pulled pork, gourmet sausages, bacon and traditional BBQ sides, desserts, complete barbecue feasts or create your own perfect BBQ package... all fully cooked, specially sealed & frozen for shipment, and delivered to you or to Dad with instructions for reheating. Sounds too good to be true? It's not! This is the real deal, as seen on Good Morning America and recommended by Iron Chef Michael Symon and lots of satisfied customers around the country. They also have gift certificates, so that Dad can design his own BBQ feast.

2. GrillGrate award-winning grates to fit any grill: Made from high-tech anodized panels for superior cooking without sticking or flare-ups, GrillGrates feature a unique raised surface that evens out cooking temperature over coals or gas, produces appealing sear-marks while sealing in juices for the most flavorful, mouthwatering results you've ever tasted. Whether Dad likes to grill steaks or burgers, fish or chicken, veggies or even pizza, and whether he's a BBQ veteran or newbie, he's sure to be blown away by how much better everything tastes AND looks when cooked on GrillGrates. Available for round and rectangular grills in all the common sizes, and custom GrillGrates can also be ordered. Browse their entire selection--plus grill tools & accessories--here.

3. Jim Beam Grilling Gift Pack: For the Dad who enjoys a good grilled steak, burger, ribs or chicken, this gift box of gourmet sauces is sure to please.  The Jim Beam Gift Pack comes with a full-size bottle each of Jim Beam Marinade to tenderize and complement meats, poultry and game with robust, savory flavor; Jim Beam Original Barbecue Sauce, a thick and rich tomato-based based sauce that balances tangy and sweet flavors with a splash of Jim Beam Kentucky bourbon whiskey and a pleasantly spicy kick; and Jim Beam Steak Sauce, a big, bold restaurant-quality sauce that will enhance the natural flavor of steaks and burgers without overpowering or overshadowing the food's natural flavors. And yes, all three sauces are made with Jim Beam's famous whiskey. But that's not all: This BBQ gift box comes with an exclusive Jim Beam basting brush! We recently added this Jim Beam Sauces Gift Pack to the Carolina Sauces online store, and it's proven to be one of our more popular Father's Day sauce gifts.

4. Personalized Steak Branding Iron with Wood Gift Box: Now Dad can leave his mark on his steaks as they grill to perfection when he uses his very own personalized branding iron! Widely regarded as the finest steak branding iron on the market, the stainless-steel "HeatBacker" letters retain heat better than ordinary steak brands for a perfect brand every time. The sturdy metal shaft is finished with a beautifully lacquered wood handle topped with a leather hanging strap, and the branding iron is enclosed in an attractive cedar box that's branded with the enclosed personalized brand for a unique and memorable presentation. This elegant gift is made in the USA and comes with a one-year warranty, and it's just one of the many different BBQ and grilling tools & accessories that we have available through our partners on the Carolina Sauce Company website.

5.  North Carolina BBQ Sauce: If Dad's a native North Carolinian living elsewhere, send him a taste of home when you order one or more of our genuine NC barbecue sauces and other hard-to-find North Carolina products. Whether he prefers tangy-spicy vinegar based eastern NC barbecue sauce like Wells Hog Heaven, or craves the mellower tang of tomato-vinegar western (aka Lexington or Piedmont style) NC BBQ sauce like Bone Suckin' Sauce, we have what Dad wants. We also have John Boy & Billy's Grillin' Sauce which is a special concoction of vinegar-tomato-mustard available in milder Original and feisty Hot, as well as North Carolina BBQ rubs and seasonings, too.

Father's Day is this Sunday, so don't wait too much longer to place your order!

Zestfully yours,
Gloria
