    Too late now, but the best I could have suggested was a drive over to Washington, IL to Lindy's Market. They are a BGE dealer and stock quite an array of BBQ sauces, rubs and several brands of quality lump including the ever popular Rockwood. Might plan your trip route ahead next time you are in Bloomington. BTW what drew you there for 3 hours anyway?

    It would take you 2 hrs each way to get to our place. Jim Prescott's BBQ Shop.

    Didn't mean to slight you, Pete! You by far have a much larger selection of grills, accessories, rubs, sauces and lump than Lindy's, but you are right about the time element, unless he can plan to re-route the next time he goes to Bloomington.

    No offense taken. If I knew of a great place there in Bloomington, I would advise that, but I don't. We are a bit out of his way for sure. Hopefully he can find someone great locally.

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't called Smokin Brothers but can't be 100% sure

    hard to say for sure from this angle but the profile looks like a Green Mountain Grills pellet smoker.

    I think he's right, they are Smokin Brothers. They are distributed by DD Distributing which used to handle Traeger. These guys prolly moved with their distributor and dropped Traeger and added these. They are very similar to current and past Traeger models.
