🏈🍊 THE “REAL UT” IS ABOUT TO BE SETTLED ON ROCKY TOP.

Texas likes to call themselves “the real UT.”

That’s cute. 😂

Little history lesson for our friends coming in from Austin:

🟠 Tennessee was founded in 1794.
🟠 We officially became the University of Tennessee in 1879.
🤘 The University of Texas didn’t even open until 1883.

So Tennessee had already been UT for FOUR YEARS before Texas even held its first class.

You can’t show up four years late and call dibs. 😂

Today, the burnt orange comes to NEYLAND to meet the correct shade of orange.

No. 1 Texas.
No. 14 Tennessee.
102,000+ on Rocky Top.

And while Texas may have the Longhorns…

Around here, we know what to do with beef. 🔥🐂

Matter of fact, we cooked PLENTY of Certified Angus Beef® brisket just for the occasion. 😏🔥
Figured if Texas was bringing the Longhorns to Tennessee, we should probably have some beef ready.

Get those game-day food orders in, crank up Rocky Top, and somebody please remind Texas:

There’s only one original UT. 🍊

🔥🏈 IT’S HOMECOMING, RED HAWKS! 🏈🔥

Creekwood, today is YOUR day! ❤️🖤
The halls are buzzing, the school spirit is high, and tonight it’s all about packing the stands and cheering on the RED HAWKS!

Before the game, swing by Otts BBQ and fuel up with brisket, pulled pork, smoked & fried jumbo wings, ribs, and all your favorites.

Students, parents, alumni, teachers — wear that red proud today!

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, RED HAWKS! BRING HOME THAT HOMECOMING WIN! 🔥🏈❤️🖤

🏈 FOOTBALL WEEKEND IS COMING… DON’T SHOW UP EMPTY-HANDED. 🔥🍗
These JUMBO wings get smoked first, then dropped in the fryer for that smoky flavor with a crispy finish. 🤤
Perfect for the couch, the tailgate, or feeding everybody who somehow heard you were “having a few people over.” 😂
🏈 Get those football weekend orders in EARLY!
Wings, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and all the good stuff go a whole lot faster once kickoff gets close.
📞 Don’t wait until game day and hit us with the “Y’all got any wings left?” 😅
Call ahead. Order ahead. Then worry about nothing but football.

That little bit of cool air outside is trying REAL hard to convince us it’s finally fall… 🍂🔥

So we figured we’d help it out.

Smoked sausage straight off the pit.
Collard greens.
Fried okra.
Our loaded Pitmaster Melts on Texas toast.
And Pumpkin Spice Cake waiting on you for dessert. 🤤

Basically, if fall had a lunch order… this would be it.

Come hungry today — we’ll handle the rest.

🔥 LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR SMOKER FOR A MINUTE… 🔥

We’ve seen a couple comments lately about us using a “gas smoker,” so we figured this was a good opportunity to explain how our pit actually works.

Our smoker is propane-assisted — and there’s a big difference.

We cook with real hickory wood. The propane burner is there to provide a controlled heat/ignition source that gets the hickory burning and helps the smoker maintain the temperature it needs throughout a long cook.

The propane isn’t “blasting the meat.” It isn’t what creates that smoke flavor.

🔥 The hickory burns.
💨 The hickory creates the smoke.
🥩 That smoke moves around the meat and creates the flavor, bark, and color you’re tasting.

Think of the propane as the match that helps keep the fire doing its job.

Commercial propane-assisted smokers were designed to give pitmasters better temperature consistency while still using real wood smoke. And when you’re cooking briskets and pork for hours and hours every week, consistency matters.

We’ve been cooking this way for six years, and we’re proud of the barbecue that comes out of our pit.

So yes — there’s propane connected to our smoker.

But there’s also a whole lot of hickory wood, smoke, time, and love going into your barbecue.

And now you know exactly what’s happening behind that smoker door. 🔥🐷🥩

🥩 IT’S OFFICIAL — OTTS BBQ × CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF®
For the last six years, when you’ve ordered beef from us, you’ve already been getting Certified Angus Beef®.

Same beef. Same smoke. Same quality we’ve believed in since day one — now with an official partnership behind it.
We’re proud of what we serve, and even more proud to keep bringing y’all quality beef every time you walk through our doors.
Certified Angus Beef ® brand Smoked the Otts way. 🔥

We keep seeing people say, “Restaurants aren’t good anymore. It’s just a competition to see who can heat up Sysco food the best.” 😂

Here’s the thing…

Yes, we buy from Sysco. Yes, we buy from PFG. Most restaurants use food distributors.

But we’re buying raw product and turning it into what ends up on your plate.

The brisket doesn’t show up smoked.
The pork doesn’t arrive pulled.
The ribs don’t come cooked.
The sausage doesn’t smoke itself.

We season it, smoke it, slice it, pull it, fry it, and serve it.

So yeah, the truck may say Sysco or PFG on the side…

But what leaves our kitchen has Otts BBQ written all over it. 🔥

Some folks heat it up. We fire it up.
