⚠️ Customer Warning ⚠️
We created this hot sauce to add a little kick to your food...
We did NOT expect people to start treating breakfast like a crime scene.
This legend drowned an Egg McMuffin in StrawRhuby Hot Sauce and casually informed us:
"It's the only way I'll ever eat my breakfast eggy cheese muffin ever again!!!"
Sir... are you okay? Blink twice if the bottle has developed mind control.
At this point we're considering printing a disclaimer:
"In The Sticks BBQ is not responsible for ruined taste buds, sauce addictions, or the inability to eat plain food ever again."
We love seeing you all use our sauces in ways we'd never think of. Keep the pictures coming... even if they make us question your life choices. ❤️🔥🌶️

ANOTHER PHOTO FROM A LOYAL CRAZED CUSTOMER
🚨 CUSTOMER UPDATE: 🚨
Another bottle of Freedom Fizz Root Beer BBQ has officially been declared missing in action. 🇺🇸🥤🔥
We'd like to congratulate today's victim... we mean customer... for absolutely committing war crimes against that plate of chicken. The wings never stood a chance.
Neighbors reported hearing: "Just one more piece..."
That was 11 wings ago.
Side effects of Freedom Fizz may include: ☠️ Licking the plate when nobody's looking. ☠️ "Accidentally" making another batch of wings at 10 p.m. ☠️ Hiding the last bottle from your own family like it's buried treasure.
If your bottle is disappearing faster than your self-control, don't panic...
That's not addiction. That's called good BBQ. 😈🔥

Y'all keep asking what we're loyal to...
We like thick smoke, bold sauce, and pulled pork sandwiches... ON MY MOMMA. 🤌🔥

If it ain't dripping down your leg and making your doctor shake his head, we probably ain't interested.
Small batch. Big flavor. Zero apologies.
Who's grabbing a bottle before they're gone? 👀🐷🔥

sauces we have available are our original, our original gluten free, Big Dill Energy, Fire in the Orchard, Not your grandma's jam, red barn fire and Freedom Fizz. Let us know your needs...we do deliver local!!

Some things should've stayed buried.
This one didn't.
It vanished months ago... but apparently it found its way back to the barn. We only made one small batch, and once it disappears again, don't expect us to go looking for it.
We'll give you one clue...
Sometimes the best things come with a peel... if you're paying attention.
That's all you're getting.
Drop your guesses below. Wrong answers are welcome. We'll judge every single one of you equally. 😈🔥

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE BBQ WARFRONT 🚨
Somewhere out there, a pellet grill owner just spent 14 hours smoking a brisket... and still called it "low and slow craftsmanship."
Meanwhile, the charcoal crowd is standing outside looking like they just survived three divorces, two burn bans, and a grease fire—smiling anyway.
Pellet grills don't BBQ... they attend Easy-Bake Academy with Wi-Fi.
If your smoker updates its firmware before you cook, we have questions.
If your grill has Bluetooth, Alexa, and a pellet jam warning... congratulations on your outdoor microwave.
Around here, we like our smoke with a little danger, a little ash, and enough poor decisions to make the neighbors nervous.
In The Sticks BBQ — where the only pellets we trust are the ones feeding deer... not cooking ribs. We all enjoy babysitting our wood around here for that low and slow REAL SMOKE FLAVOR
Fight me in the comments, Traeger Nation. 🔥🐖💀

🚨 ATTENTION, STICK FANS! 🚨
Tomorrow we're loading up the smoker, packing the sauce, and rolling into the Southside Market!
We'll have 50+ bottles of fresh, small-batch BBQ sauce waiting for you... but they won't wait forever.
🔥 LIMITED EDITION DAD'S ROOT BEER BBQ is back, bringing all the nostalgic fizz without making your brisket do your taxes.
🍉 WATERMELON BBQ is making another appearance too. One batch. That's it. When it's gone, it's gone.
We'll also have the rest of the In The Sticks lineup ready to find a new home on your grill.
So drag your neighbor, your uncle, your weird cousin that puts ranch on everything—we don't judge... much.
See you tomorrow at the Southside Market! Come early before the sauce disappears faster than someone's diet after smelling smoked pulled pork. 🤘🐷🔥
Can't wait to see all you sauce addicts tomorrow!

🚨 STICKS FANS... WE'RE TAKING A MOMENT TO SPOTLIGHT SOME BEAUTIFUL CHAOS. 🚨
Meet Rebel Chick BBQ.
They're out here smoking meat, slinging sauce, and making diets file missing person reports.
Somewhere a grill just whispered, "I've found the one."
We fully support local BBQ businesses... mostly because if they stay busy, there's less competition for the brisket.
So if you see Rebel Chick BBQ at an event, show 'em some love. Buy some food. Tell 'em the weirdos from In The Sticks BBQ sent you.
And if you accidentally leave with sauce on your shirt, grease on your hands, and the sudden urge to name your firstborn "Brisket"... that's not addiction.
That's just BBQ making poor life choices on your behalf.
Give 'em a follow, support small businesses, and remember...
Calories don't count when they're seasoned with bad decisions and smoke. 🔥🐖

🚨 YES... WE FINALLY HAVE A GLUTEN-FREE OPTION! 🚨
You asked. We listened.
Our Sticks Original (Gluten-Free) is officially bottled, labeled, and ready to roll!
Same small-batch attitude. Same smoky, sweet, backyard BBQ flavor. Just made without gluten so more of you can join the sauce addiction.
Every bottle is handcrafted in small batches because we believe great BBQ shouldn't come off an assembly line.
🔥 Freshly bottled. 🐷 Packed with flavor. 🌾 Gluten-free. 💲 Just $10 a bottle.
So if you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a gluten-free sauce... your excuse just packed its bags and left.
Swing by and grab a bottle before the rest of the sauce-loving hooligans clean us out.
In The Sticks BBQ — Small batches. Big flavor. No gluten. No nonsense.

We've got one customer that's reached a level of loyalty we're honestly a little concerned about.

At first it was one bottle...

Then two...

YES THIS IS JUST ONE ORDER FROM A DEDICATED CUSTOMER (you know who you are)

Now we see headlights pulling into the driveway before the sauce has even cooled off.

We're starting to think they don't own food anymore. They just drink BBQ sauce while making uncomfortable eye contact with the mailbox.

If you hear someone whisper "Not your Grandma's jam" in a grocery store aisle... don't panic. That's just them trying to recruit another victim.

Our therapist says we should set boundaries.

Our accountant says absolutely don't.

To our favorite sauce gremlin... thanks for keeping the lights on, the smoker smoking, and giving us a reason to make another batch.

If you've been hoarding bottles too... it's okay. This is a judgment-free zone.
..Mostly.

In The Sticks BBQ — Creating flavor so good it should probably come with a warning label.

A heartfelt thank you to Madison Square Garden for giving In The Sticks BBQ the billboard space we definitely didn't ask for... and absolutely don't deserve. 😂
For a few glorious seconds, we felt like world domination was only one pulled pork sandwich away.
To everyone who saw it: remember... celebrities fade, championship banners collect dust, but good BBQ sauce stains your favorite shirt forever.
