Well this weekend was….HOT. Didn’t get our all packed up picture like usual because we were dying in the heat. Did ok at the Trillium BBQ Throwdown. Chicken we knew was going to be our tough one when we took a bite but that’s ok.

Chicken 25
Ribs 24
Pork 5
Brisket 16
Overall 23rd.

Was probably the best brisket and ribs we’ve done, but the judges didn’t think so. On to the next one!

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from Half Inked BBQ! 🇺🇸

Nothing says Independence Day like the smell of wood smoke, great food, and time spent with family and friends.

Today we've got the Humphrey's Battle Box and Hot Box fired up, fueled by nothing but The Good Charcoal premium lump charcoal. It's going to be a day full of low-and-slow BBQ, cold drinks, and celebrating the red, white, and blue.

We hope everyone has a safe, fun, and delicious Independence Day.

God bless America! 🇺🇸🔥

Nothing beats coming home to a fresh supply of The Good Charcoal. Time to get the smokers fired up and start chasing more great BBQ.
Huge thanks to for keeping us fueled with the cleanest, hottest-burning lump charcoal around. Let's get back to work! 🔥🥩
