Backwoods BBQ Smokers – BBQ Smoker Manufacturers

The story of Backwoods Smoker is truly an American small business sucess story! Mike McGowan, pictured here to the right, has spent his whole life in Dixie Louisiana. He cut his teeth in the metal industry welding for his father in the family shop. He worked there until 1987 when Backwoods Smoker became his full time job.

Mike has lived in the world of BBQ his whole life, he created the first Backwoods model, a patio, after years of listening to people talk about BBQ and the various different cookers that they were using. He paid close attention to the things that they liked and also the things that they DIDN’T like about their cookers, and set out to make a unit that would take all of the experience that he had picked up on and perfect it.

The result was the first patio model. He made one for one of his friends who had nothing but great things to say about it. Eventually more and more people started wanting one, and even came up and started asking Mike if he could do special orders. Mike would listen to a person’s needs, then create a unit that would do everything that the person would need. Backwoods Smoker quickly became a household name in Louisiana, and Mike was now splitting his time between his Dad’s shop and creating Backwoods units.

If you were to ask Mike what it was that turned the tide for Backwoods from a part time job into a full time lifelong occupation, he tells a story about a show that a local news station did on him and his cookers.

“It was probably back in 1986 or so, the local television channel had a guy who would do 30 minute shows on local business people, and how they gave back to thier communities. The guy had seen one of my cookers and had eaten some BBQ off of it, and was really impressed by the job that it did. He called me up and asked if he could do a show on my business. I said sure, and spent an afternoon with him. Well, a truck driver from Missouri was passing through the area, and caught the show when it aired. Along with being a truck driver he also owned a BBQ restaraunt in Missouri, and was very interested in getting a new cooker for his business. He contacted me, and asked me for a cooker which today would be the equivalent of the Professional. I made it for him, and he brought it back to his business and got great results. Well, the people he got his sauce from saw it, liked it, and wanted one for themselves, so I made them one too. They also competed pretty seriously, and took it with them to Memphis in May, well, they ended up winning grand champion on that cooker, and really that is what got the ball rolling, after that Memphis in May competition, everyone wanted one of my cookers.”

Mike switched over to full time in 1987, and since then has been working on nothing but making the different Backwoods Cookers. Over the years he has expanded his model offerings, and is constantly looking to improve the line to make the Backwoods Cookers simply the best water smokers on the market.

He has grown from a single man operation to a shop of 4 workers, some full time, some part time. If you have ever called Backwoods, chances are good you have spoken with his assistant, Kathy.

She helps Mike keep everything working smoothly, and loves to talk with people who are interested in getting a Backwoods Smoker.

The great thing about Backwoods is the willingness that Mike shows to talk with his customers one on one in phone conversations. He will talk with you as long as you need, answer any of your questions, and make recomendations based on your needs and wants. He is very concerned with giving people the best value for their money.

Big Drum Smokers – BBQ Smoker Manufacturers

The Big Drum Smoker (BDS), slow-smokes meat directly over the coals. Charcoal and wood chunks are used for fuel. The meat juices drip down onto the coals, giving meat that traditional down-home flavor.

With little effort, the BDS consistantly produces high quality, authentic BBQ. You do not need any water pan or heat barrier in the BDS. The meat is tender and moist with deep, delicious smoke taste.

Your smoked meat will always have a beautiful smoke ring. The charcoal grate and ring allow long burn times on a single load of fuel. 12 pounds of charcoal and a few chunks of wood will burn for over 12 hours. This is more than enough time to smoke the biggest cuts of meat. You never have to add any fuel during a cook.

If you want a smoker that is easy to use and cooks top quality barbecue, buy a Big Drum Smoker. There are 13 models to choose from with prices that won’t break the bank.

Air flows through the intake and exhaust vents, creating a convection inside the BDS. Smoking the meat directly over the coals produces pure radiant heat. The unique combination of convection and radiant heat cooks the meat faster than most BBQ pits.

Temperature control is simple, just add or remove the intake vent plugs as needed. Pork butts and briskets only take 8 hours to cook, while other cookers can take over 12 hours.

Whole 20 lb. pork shoulders only take 11 hours to cook, compared to 18 to 22 hours with other smokers. Cleanup is fast and easy. The BDS is great for competition, catering and backyard BBQ.

Big Drum Smokers are awesome barbecue pits you can depend on. The BDS will deliver the goods every time and bring your BBQ to a higher level.

Professional BBQ teams are winning many awards with Big Drum Smokers at cookoffs around the country.

MAK Grills – BBQ Smokers and Grill Manufacturers

Mak love to grill and have a passion for barbequing.

They had been using a propane gas grill for years and didn’t like way it dried out their food,and charcoal grilling was inconsistent. The meat was often still raw in the middle and that didn’t go down so well with their guests! Mak dreamt of cooking with wood like hickory – but couldn’t find a grill that was convenient to use. Mak also wanted to have better control of the cooking environment to get perfect results every time.

Mak investigated existing wood pellet grills but found that most were made in China. When talked to friends who had bought these grills, discovered rust out quickly. The grills were hard to clean and didn’t allow for long periods of cooking or smoking without constantly refilling the fuel hopper. Even worse, would have to buy an additional grill to actually flame cook their food since these grills didn’t have that function. Besides, wanted a grill with a warming box that would keep their food hot.

American Made – American Quality

Luckily, Bob at Mak Grills, has over 20 years experience working with metals, and own Mak Metals, a precision sheet metal manufacturing company. So sat down with their team and made a list of all of the features wanted to have in the perfect smoker grill. Then went to work, perfecting each element and using only the finest materials. As a veteran, Bob felt strongly that all labor and materials used to build the grill should be American sourced and the finest American quality.

The grill was in development for over a year before felt it was completely perfected. Mak cooked on it every day, often cooking for their employees. The smell of wood smoke drifting around the factory made everyone hungry!

Based on the reactions got from the food, the company decided it was time to share their invention — so made a few grills for friends and relatives to try.

The rest is history. Now their grill is winning important barbeque contests and cookoffs and the word is out. The MAK GRILL is the finest barbeque smoker grill on the market. Mak still cook on ours every day – at home and at their business. It’s their complete outdoor kitchen and use it year round.
