Who we are
Pop’s BBQ Pit is a family-owned business in Eclectic, Alabama, founded in 2019. It’s run by Kevin Thompson (Pop), his wife Barbara Thompson (Granny), and his daughter Boo Jean Thompson (the Boss). We cook, mix, jar, and pack what we sell, and the recipes come from our own kitchen and from family recipes passed down for generations.
Where we are
We’re based in Eclectic, Alabama. We ship nationwide from popsbbqpit.com, and you’ll find us at festivals and hunting expos across the Southeast. Check our Event Schedule to see where we’ll be next.
What we make
Small-batch BBQ sauces. Our Signature Series comes in four flavors: Sweet Heat, Peach, Apple, and Honey Mustard. Each comes in a 12 oz bottle and works on ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and wings, or as a dipping sauce.
BBQ rubs and seasonings. Our 8 oz blends include Original Brisket Blend, Homestyle Pork Blend, Cajun Seasoning, Hot Honey Rub, and Hot Honey Wing Rub, plus rib, steak, and all-purpose seasonings.
Wild game seasonings. We make seasonings for hunters who process their own deer, including deer jerky seasoning, venison sausage seasoning, and a breakfast sausage blend. They work with venison, elk, wild boar, and venison-and-pork blends.
Granny’s pickles and preserves. Granny’s sweet pickles, dill pickles, pear relish, and apple butter are the family recipes that got us started.
