Pops BBQ Pit at World Deer Expo

Hot Honey Deer Jerky Collection

GEAR UP FOR THE HUNT

Pops BBQ Pit at World Deer Expo: Fuel for the Passionate Hunter

July 17–19 in Birmingham brings hunters, gear enthusiasts, and outdoor lovers together at the World Deer Expo. Whether you’re scouting the latest equipment, connecting with fellow hunters, or planning your fall season, one thing’s certain: you’ll work up an appetite. That’s exactly where Pops BBQ Pit comes in—delivering bold, authentic flavor that matches the passion you bring to the woods.

The Hunter’s Perfect Pairing

When you’re serious about hunting, you demand quality in every detail—from your gear to your food. Pops Hot Honey Jerky Seasoning and Pops Signature Series Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce are crafted for hunters who appreciate flavor as much as they appreciate a clean shot.

Hot Honey Jerky Seasoning: Your Field Companion

Pops Hot Honey Jerky Seasoning brings sophisticated depth to wild game. The warm honey notes complement the natural richness of venison and other game meats, while the carefully balanced heat builds gradually—adding complexity without overwhelming the meat’s authentic flavor. When you’re preparing jerky from this season’s harvest this seasoning transforms every bite into something memorable.

What makes it perfect for hunters: it’s versatile enough for preparation at home, rugged enough to enhance field-processing, and refined enough to impress at the dinner table when you share your harvest with family and friends.

Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce: The Finishing Touch

The Signature Series Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce takes your game preparation to the next level. Layer it with the Hot Honey seasoning for depth, or use it as a glaze and finishing sauce on grilled venison, wild boar, or duck. The sweetness balances the inherent gaminess of wild meat, while the heat adds a sharp, sophisticated edge. This isn’t sweet and mild—it’s balanced and bold, exactly what hunters demand when they cook.

World Deer Expo: July 17–19 in Birmingham

The World Deer Expo draws thousands of serious hunters to Birmingham every year. You’ll be there checking out the latest stands, learning new techniques, networking with guides and outfitters, and building excitement for the fall season.

Pops BBQ Pit will be ready for you. Look for us at vendor booth 4514, or grab our products to fuel your expo experience.

How to Make the Most of Pops at the Expo

  • Grab Pops Hot Honey Jerky Seasoning to take home and use on your own wild game this fall.
  • Pick up bottles of Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce to pair with venison steaks, burgers, or any game meat on the grill.
  •  
  • Ask our team about pairing recommendations for specific game meats and cooking methods.
  • Share with fellow hunters—great conversation always happens around great food.

Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection

Introducing the Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection

Built for the hunt. Perfected for the plate.

If you’ve ever spent long hours in the woods, you already know—bringing home wild game isn’t easy. It takes patience, skill, and respect for the process. And when it’s all said and done, that meat deserves more than a basic seasoning.

That’s exactly why we created the Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection.

From Field to Flavor

At Pop’s BBQ Pit, we believe the work you put in out there should carry all the way to the final bite. This collection was built specifically for hunters, processors, and backyard pitmasters who want to do their harvest justice.

Every blend in this lineup is designed to enhance—not overpower—the natural flavor of wild game. Whether you’re working with venison, making deer jerky, or experimenting with other cuts, these seasonings are crafted to bring out the best in every bite.

What Makes It Different?

There’s no shortage of seasonings out there—but most weren’t made with wild game in mind.

The Pop’s difference comes down to three things:

1. Built for Wild Game
Wild game has a unique flavor profile, and it deserves a seasoning that complements it—not masks it. Our blends are balanced to highlight the meat, not cover it up.

2. Flavor That Works Everywhere
From jerky to burgers to backstrap on the grill, this collection is versatile. You can use it in the kitchen, at deer camp, or on the smoker.

3. That Signature Pop’s Touch
We’re known for bold, balanced flavor—and this collection delivers. Expect a mix of smoky depth, savory backbone, and just the right kick of heat or sweetness depending on the blend.

Perfect for Jerky, Grilling, and More

Whether you’re slicing up a batch of jerky or cooking for a full camp after a long day, these seasonings are made to perform.

  • Jerky Makers: Consistent, crave-worthy flavor in every batch
  • Grill Masters: Clean, bold seasoning that stands up to heat
  • Hunters & Processors: A reliable go-to for every cut

No guesswork. No over-complicating it. Just solid flavor that works.

Built for the Ones Who Put in the Work

This collection isn’t just about seasoning—it’s about respect for the process.

You put in the time scouting.
You made the shot count.
You handled the meat the right way.

Now it’s time to finish it right.

Try It for Yourself

Once you taste the difference, you’ll understand why this isn’t just another seasoning—it’s a step up in how wild game should be prepared.

If you’re ready to take your harvest to the next level, the Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection is ready for you.

World Deer Expo 2026

We’re Headed to the World Deer Expo

Birmingham, AL  ·  July 17–19, 2026  ·  BJCC

Pop’s BBQ Pit is officially Birmingham-bound this July and we couldn’t be more fired up about it. We’re packing up the truck, loading the cooler, and heading to Birmingham for the 2026 World Deer Expo, one of the biggest hunting and outdoor events in the country. If you live for the woods, the wild, and the table this one’s for you.For years, Pop has been dialing in flavors built for the way people around here actually eat. Not just brisket on a competition stage but venison back-strap after a cold morning sit. Wild hog sausage on a cast iron skillet at deer camp. Jerky made from a harvest you’re proud of, seasoned the right way. That’s the kind of cooking we built Pop’s around, and it’s exactly what we’re bringing to Birmingham.

“Good seasoning doesn’t cover up wild game — it honors it.”

The World Deer Expo draws tens of thousands of hunters, processors, and outdoor enthusiasts every year and this is our first time being part of it. We’re showing up with the products we’ve been perfecting right here in Eclectic, Alabama, and we can’t wait to put them in your hands.

What We’re Bringing to Birmingham

  • Hot Honey Jerky Seasoning
    Our most talked-about blend — balanced heat, real honey sweetness, and a finish that keeps you reaching for another piece. Built specifically for wild game jerky.
  • Signature Series Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce
    The perfect pairing for anything you pull off the smoker. Bold, layered, and Southern to the bone.
  • Hot Honey Rub
    Versatile enough for venison, pork, or chicken. A festival favorite and a camp kitchen staple.
  • Granny’s Classics Apple Butter, Pickles (Sweet and Dill), Pear Relish

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing recipes, tips, and behind-the-scenes content leading up to the Expo. Think venison jerky how-tos, pairing guides for wild game, and a look at how Pop’s flavors were developed right alongside the hunting season. Stay tuned.

If you’re planning to be at the World Deer Expo this July, come find us. Try the Hot Honey. Taste what small-batch, family-made seasoning actually tastes like when somebody put their name on it and meant it.

We’ll see you in Birmingham.

Pop’s BBQ Pit is Headed to the Moore Expo

Pop’s BBQ Pit is Headed to the Moore Expo — Come Find Us April 17 & 18!

 

If you love the outdoors, live for the adventure of overlanding and camping, and believe that great food is an essential part of any trail experience — we’ve got some exciting news for you.

Pop’s BBQ Pit will be on-site as a vendor at the Moore Expo on April 17 and 18. We’re bringing the full lineup — sauces, rubs, jerky seasonings, and Granny’s Classic Country Collection — and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been cooking up.

What Is the Moore Expo?

The Moore Expo is a premier overlanding and camping event that brings together outdoor enthusiasts, gear brands, and adventure-minded people from across the region. It’s the kind of event where you show up curious and leave inspired — and we’re proud to be part of it.

Whether you’re a hardcore overland traveler or just getting into the camping lifestyle, great flavor belongs on every adventure — and that’s where Pop’s comes in.

  • Pop’s Hot Honey Rub — The perfect balance of sweet and heat. Rub it, smoke it, love it. This one is trail-ready and camp-proven.

  • Granny’s Country Classic Collection — Including Granny’s Apple Butter and other Southern staples that bring a little home-cooked love wherever you roam.

Flavor That Goes Where You Go

At Pop’s BBQ Pit, we’ve always believed that good food isn’t just for the backyard. It belongs on the tailgate, at base camp, around the fire ring, and anywhere else you find yourself outdoors with people you care about.

Our seasonings and sauces are small-batch, founder-crafted, and festival-proven. Pop perfected these recipes the old-fashioned way — through years of cooking, competing, and listening to what people actually love. Every bottle and bag that comes out of our kitchen reflects that.

Whether you’re packing light for a backcountry trip or loading up the rig for a week on the trail, our products are easy to pack and built to deliver real flavor wherever the road takes you.

Come See Us — Pop Will Be There

This isn’t a staffed booth with a stranger handing out samples. Pop, Granny and The Boss will be there in person, same as always — ready to talk food, answer questions, and make sure you leave with something you’re excited to cook.
