🌶️ STICK FANS — NEED FRESH VEGGIES?! 🌽🍅

If you’re looking for fresh, local veggies, head over to Pumpkin Vine Acres🎃🌱

When we found ourselves in desperate need of some fresh jalapeños for In The Sticks BBQ, they absolutely stepped up to bat for us! 🙌🏼🔥 And the best part? They’re LOCAL — literally only about 5 minutes away! 🤯

We LOVE being able to support other local businesses and use locally grown ingredients in our sauces whenever we can. There’s just something extra special about knowing where your ingredients come from and supporting the people in our own community. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to Pumpkin Vine Acres for helping us out! We appreciate you more than you know! 🫶🏼

And let us tell you… our Not Your Grandma’s Jam is about to be a WHOLE LOT BETTER. 🌶️🔥🍓

Shop local. Support local. Eat local. And keep those good things growing right here in our community! ❤️

🚨 STICK FANS... WE NEED YOU! 🚨
This one is bigger than BBQ.
Three small businesses. Three mascots. One limited-edition bottle.
We're firing up UNITED WE SMOKE 🔥🍒🥃 Cherry Bourbon Hickory BBQ Sauce — created to celebrate small businesses sticking together.
🤝 10% of every bottle sold will go directly to help support Teddy's Market and Beaver's Mini Mart.
Here's the catch...
We WILL ONLY make this sauce if we hit a minimum of 400 PRE-ORDERED bottles!
That means we need every Stick Fan to show up.
👇 Here's what you can do: 🔥 PRE-ORDER 🔥 SHARE THIS POST 🔥 TAG YOUR BBQ CREW 🔥 TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW
Let's prove what a community can do when small businesses stand together.

If we smash 400 bottles... ✅ We'll fire up the kettles. ✅ Print the limited-edition labels. ✅ Bottle every one by hand. ✅ Donate 10% of sales to support these fellow small businesses. $15 bottle.
This bottle will never be part of our regular lineup. When it's gone... it's gone.
💥 COMMENT "UNITED" below if you're in for a bottle! 💥 SHARE. SHARE. SHARE. 💥 LET'S SELL THIS THING OUT BEFORE WE EVEN COOK THE FIRST BATCH!
Three mascots. One bottle. One community. United We Smoke. 🔥🐷🐻🦫

🚨 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MASCOT... ANOTHER LAWSUIT? 🚨
First off Buc-ee's 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
So first it was Beaver's Mini Mart...
Now folks are talking about Teddy's Market.
At this point, if your mascot has fur, a smile, and a pulse, somewhere a Buc-ee's lawyer is warming up the printer.
Imagine being so worried about a cartoon animal that it becomes a full-time hobby.
Meanwhile, the rest of us small businesses are just trying to make good food, stock the shelves, pay our employees, and survive another week.
Here's a wild idea...
Instead of treating every woodland creature with a hat like a national security threat, maybe focus on making the world's cleanest bathrooms even cleaner.
Small businesses aren't your enemy. They're the backbone of America.
We'll keep cheering on the little guys while the corporate legal department keeps collecting frequent-filer miles.
🐷 Support local. 🛒 Support small. 😂 And if your logo has ears... good luck.

🚨 ATTENTION STICK FANS! 🌶️🤠
Who's got a backyard full of jalapeños? 👀
With the recent jalapeño recall, we're on the hunt for some fresh, locally grown peppers to keep the smoke rolling this weekend! 🌶️🔥 The current recall is linked to a Salmonella outbreak involving certain commercially distributed jalapeños.
If you've got more jalapeños than you know what to do with, drop a comment or send us a message! We'd love to support local growers while keeping our BBQ loaded with the good stuff.
Help us keep it local, keep it fresh, and keep it spicy! 🌶️🐷🔥

We remember Nick right? Well he doesn't stop.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE STICKS 🚨
Apparently we've reached a new level of fame.
Some folks are now writing one-star reviews claiming they "tried our product" and got a "sample"... despite the tiny little problem that we don't hand out samples. 🤔
That's a bold strategy, Cotton.
If you're going to make up a story, at least keep the plot straight. Saying you've never met us in one breath and claiming you've tried our food in the next is like saying you wrestled Bigfoot at Buc-ee's while riding a unicorn.
We don't mind bad reviews. Nobody is everyone's cup of sweet tea. But if you're going to leave one, at least make sure you've actually bought something first.
To everyone who's supported this little family-run BBQ business: thank you. Every bottle, every order, every kind word means more than fake reviews ever will.
Now if you'll excuse us, we've got actual BBQ to make... because unlike some people, we don't have time to write fictional novels on the internet. 🍖🔥

🌟 LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT! 🌟
Today we're giving a shout-out to another hardworking local business that's helping make Central Iowa look damn good.
If your fence is looking more "haunted farmhouse" than "backyard paradise," it's probably time to call BrightLine Fence & Deck Staining. 🪵✨
Whether it's: ✔️ Wood Fences ✔️ Decks ✔️ Gazebos ✔️ Pergolas ✔️ Residential Wood Projects
They'll have it looking fresh enough to make your neighbors peek over the fence with envy. 😎
Supporting local businesses is what keeps our communities strong. While you're stocking up on BBQ sauce from us, remember there are other local folks out there busting their tails to make Iowa look better one project at a time.
Give BrightLine Fence & Deck Staining a follow, check out their work, and if your wood has seen better days...you know who to call.
🔥 Here's to supporting local, shopping local, and keeping our backyards looking as good as our BBQ tastes.

BrightLine Fence and Deck Staining will stain your wood fence, deck, gazebo, pergola, and residentia

🔥 Dear Buc-ee's
Imagine being a multi-billion-dollar company and spending your time hunting down small businesses because a cartoon mascot might remind someone of yours.
That's some serious "picked first in dodgeball, still insecure" energy.
We're over here worrying about smoking meat, bottling sauce, and making customers happy. Meanwhile, somebody's apparently holding mascot lineup inspections like they're the Cartoon Police. 🚨🐷🦫
Here's a wild idea: compete with flavor instead of filing paperwork.
Our pig isn't trying to steal anybody's gas pumps. He's too busy stealing the show at the smoker.
Small businesses don't have teams of lawyers on speed dial—we've got families to feed, bills to pay, and BBQ to make.
So if you see us with a cartoon critter, don't panic. The only thing we're guilty of is putting No BS Ingredients in a damn good bottle of sauce.
Support small businesses. Buy local. Laugh often.
And remember... imitation is one thing. Intimidation is another. 🍖🔥
We support those small businesses that are grinding daily that get bothered by that beaver. This is in support of the recent shop in Ohio.
