As the calendar turns and the New Year’s resolutions start rolling in, there’s one thing we refuse to leave behind: Authentic, bold flavor.
At Pop’s BBQ Pit, our motto has always been simple: “Life’s too short for bad BBQ.” Whether you’re a seasoned pit-master or a backyard griller just getting started, the new year is the perfect time to level up your smoke game and bring some serious Southern tradition to your table.
1. Resolve to Eat Better (BBQ, That Is)
Most people use January to start a diet, but we think it’s the perfect time to focus on quality. Our small-batch sauces and rubs are crafted with patience and high-quality ingredients. This year, ditch the mass-produced, high-fructose grocery store bottles and experience the difference that “small-batch” makes. From our sweet and tangy classics to our Peach and Honey Mustard blends, every bottle is a resolution to eat better.
2. Smoke Your New Year’s Traditions
Starting the year with a New Year’s Day meal? Whether you’re smoking a traditional ham, a celebratory brisket, or even adding a kick to your black-eyed peas, our signature seasonings and rubs are designed to bring out the best in every cut of meat.
- Pro Tip: Use our Sweet Heat or Apple BBQ Sauce to glaze your holiday leftovers for a flavor profile that feels brand new.
3. Mastering the “Low and Slow” Lifestyle
Barbecue is about more than just food; it’s about patience. In a world that moves too fast, let 2026 be the year you embrace the “low and slow” lifestyle. Spend more time by the smoker, more time with family, and more time enjoying the craft of real BBQ.
What’s Coming in 2026?
We are excited to keep serving the BBQ community across the United States. Keep an eye on our Event Schedule to see where we’ll be popping up next, and don’t forget to check out our Online Store to restock your pantry for the winter grilling season.
From our pit to yours, we wish you a smoky, savory, and incredibly happy New Year!
