Most of Meadow Creek’s grills and smokers are charcoal and wood fired, so as a rule, Meadow Creek is for people who like to play with fire. Gas and electric are fine ways of cooking, but generally what you use when you need automation and push button performance—or don’t have time or the desire to play with fire.

We often talk about the excellent performance of Meadow Creek’s offset smokers and how well they hold a consistent temperature, but this is in reference to charcoal and wood burners in general. You’ll still need to tend the fire, adding fuel to keep it on track as it burns down, and your fire will die out if neglected. After the cook, you’ll have ashes to clean out of your firebox. But for those of us who love to play with fire—who find meaning and fulfillment in keeping watch over the firebox—it’s just a part of what we do.

If all you want is the "eating experience", meaning you "cook because you have to" in order to enjoy good barbecue, do yourself a favor and buy a pellet smoker with a digital thermostat or something else congruent with modern living. There’s no shame in that. But if you find joy in mastering the perfect balance of draft and fuel, Meadow Creek is an awesome choice.

Meadow Creek is founded on honesty and the Golden Rule: "Do to others what you wish they would do to you." When something goes wrong, we try to go the extra mile to take care of our customers.
