The season for smoked backyard meats is upon us. And Iron Grate BBQ Co., 4125 S. Howell Ave., wants to help you improve your game just in time for the July 4th party.

To accomplish this, they have teamed up with Draw Right Smokers to offer a custom handcrafted and locally made smoker that features a 55 “x 24” cooking chamber with a 50 “x 23” grid. The retail price of the smoker, which is currently on display at Iron Grate, is $ 3,200. But, if you play your cards right, you can get them for a fraction of that cost.

“They’ve done a great job designing a smoker that has more cooking space than a typical retail smoker,” says Aaron Patin, chef and owner of Iron Grate. “It’s built with a firebox that adapts to the size of the cooking space, and given the heavy 3/8” wall thickness, it can withstand smoke all year round.

All you need to do to enter to win the Smoker Draw Right is purchase a $ 100 gift card (electronic or plastic). Each $ 100 gift card purchased gives you one entry into a smoker’s raffle.

That’s good news for regulars spending $ 100 every week or two at the local barbecue restaurant. But it’s also great news for those planning to make a big Father’s Day barbecue order or order catering service for an event this summer. Buy as many gift cards as you want; they can be redeemed for take-out meats, pre-ordered meats, or catering.

The winner will be chosen at random and announced on July 1. Gift cards can be purchased online or in person.
