St. Louis Home Fires

Although I'm very happy with my Big Green Egg, I've been thinking about a cabinet style smoker for capacity.  A few times I've been asked to cook for parties and the like and I just don't have the capacity that I need to be able to take on those jobs.  So, I've kinda been thinking about my next cooker.

On Friday afternoon, I headed out to West St. Louis County to check out a local grill and fireplace shop that I've heard about.  They're listed as a dealer for Backwoods, Cookshack, Traeger & Big Green Egg grills & smokers, just to name a few. 

The shop isn't huge, but they have a decent amount of their space dedicated to BBQ gear, including everything from gas grill parts, grills & smokers, smoking woods, charcoal, rubs, and sauces (the rest is dedicated to fireplaces and the like).  I found the staff to be pretty knowledgeable about the gear they sell and when I told them about Grill & Barrel, they quickly turned me onto the St. Louis BBQ Society and some local events that are planned for later this year.

I picked up a few things from the store and I plan to go back and get a first hand look at a Backwoods Party in a couple of weeks.  So if you're in the St. Louis area, support your local dealer and give the guys at St. Louis Home Fires a shot the next time you're in need of some BBQ gear.

Here's their contact info:

I understand the capacity issue. That's why I've hung onto my Brinkmann's offset and another Brinkmann's charcoal grill. I've used all three at once when cooking for events. Still I'd love to get a nice tow behind, one day.
