I am a member of a few BBQ forums. There are several postings showing up stating that Ozark Oak is closing down.

@henapple is this true? Even Fire Craft has it posted on their facebook page

    There was a big thread on this yesterday:  http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1178098/ozark-oak/p1

    Ron had the best details:  I just called the company and it is true! They are finishing up bagging and closing their doors! I asked if they were going to sell the biz and she said no. When I asked did the owner die or something and she said no, but he's thinking of retiring. I asked if this decision came on fast and she said yes. They have always been so nice when I have called and the little gal was today as well and I wished them well!
