❤️ **A Little Smoke & Wheel Update** ❤️
After a lot of thought, we’ve decided it’s time to officially close the chapter on Smoke & Wheel Craft BBQ.
What a run it has been! 🔥🍖 We are incredibly grateful for every person who trusted us to be part of your parties, weddings, celebrations, family gatherings, and everything in between. What started as something we loved doing turned into a successful little business that allowed us to meet some pretty amazing people and be part of a lot of special moments.
But over the last two months, we’ve also realized how much we’ve loved having our time back with the pause we’ve taken. Time with our family. Time at home. Weekends that aren’t spent prepping, smoking, packing, hauling and cleaning up. 😂 And, believe it or not, we both have full-time jobs too!
Life changes, priorities shift, and right now we’re really enjoying slowing things down a little and focusing on our family. We also have some new endeavors we’d like to pursue that are very near and dear to our hearts, and we’re excited to see where those take us.
We are walking away from Smoke & Wheel feeling nothing but proud and thankful. It was successful. It was fun. It was ours. And it served its season well.
And don't worry — West Michigan definitely isn't going hungry! There are some AMAZING local BBQ and smoked meat businesses out there! Please check them out, support them, and give them your business!
Thank you to everyone who ordered from us, recommended us, shared our posts, invited us into your celebrations, or simply cheered us on along the way. We appreciate you more than you know.
Here’s to a little more family time, a little more downtime, and whatever adventure comes next.☺️
With love & gratitude,
The Kaeding’s
