all have dreams.\u00a0 I can seriously tell you that one of mine <u>did not<\/u> include owning a cooking wood company.\u00a0 It just happened.\u00a0 The short story is, my husband and co-founder of <strong>SmokinLicious\u00ae, <\/strong>agreed to take over a wood products business that required a more skilled leader.\u00a0 For two years, I let him tackle this venture alone until his vision saw more potential.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few years ahead of this, we had another dream of owning a lake property.\u00a0 We managed to make that dream a reality in 1999 when we lucked out finding our ideal property.\u00a0 It needed a lot of work.\u00a0 A LOT!\u00a0 We jumped off the cliff that year and continued working on this project for the next 12 years adding various out buildings.\u00a0 The fourth building to be built would turn out to be one of the most used and bring to life our cooking wood company \u2013 our outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>The Outdoors Brings Clarity- <\/em><\/strong><\/span>The SMOKINLICIOUS\u00ae Story<\/h2>\n<p>We brought in larch logs to stand majestically as pillars on the countertop surround.\u00a0 We brought in stone from a local quarry and built a beautiful outdoor fireplace with an elevated hearth.\u00a0 And we outfitted the kitchen with a small refrigerator, sink, prep area, and loads of under counter cabinets.\u00a0 When it was done, we began cooking and creating and dreaming some more.\u00a0 You see, we are blessed with mountains all around us that harbor the best hardwoods for cooking.\u00a0 And we owned a wood company!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where life got interesting.<\/p>\n<p>We would entertain friends and family, always cooking in that outdoor kitchen when we could.\u00a0 The questions started pouring in!\u00a0 \u201cWhat did you do to these short ribs?\u00a0 I\u2019ve never tasted anything so good!\u00a0 How is it possible that my 7-year old, who won\u2019t ever eat my steaks, is asking for 3<sup>rd<\/sup> helpings of yours?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever experienced one of those moments?\u00a0 I call it karma.<\/p>\n<p>We had plentiful hardwoods so we never paid attention to what other people had for cooking supply.\u00a0 Until that moment.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Make It Like No Other- <\/em><\/strong><\/span>The SMOKINLICIOUS\u00ae Story<\/h2>\n<p>We scoured the stores and online sites looking at what was available for cooking wood.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t like what we saw.\u00a0 The packaged wood looked dry, dirty, inconsistent in sizing, loaded with bark, not something enticing to cook with.\u00a0 And that was our moment.<\/p>\n<p>We knew we could produce a better product line then what was currently available.\u00a0 We made our list of issues we could see with the current product offerings.\u00a0 Then we launched into our plan.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re like me and you understand that you control your own fortune in life, then you\u2019ll understand that I could see what I wanted in this product, I believed I could make this product and company a reality.\u00a0 I just didn\u2019t know the how.\u00a0 That is generally the pattern for all success in business.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Belief Becomes Reality- <\/em><\/strong><\/span>The SMOKINLICIOUS\u00ae Story<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/\"><strong>SmokinLicious\u00ae<\/strong><\/a> started business by providing a handful of products to meet the initial needs of those who wanted to smoke with hardwood.\u00a0 We tested our products on the competitive barbecue circuit throughout North America, we studied the equipment that most competitors and home users used, and we studied the wood.\u00a0 Over the past 13 years, we\u2019ve been listening to our customer\u2019s comments, listening to the needs of our potential and existing commercial customers, visiting commercial smokehouse operations, and analyzing what\u2019s missing in the market. \u00a0We\u2019ve gone from one size of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/minuto-chip-page\/\">wood chips<\/a> to over eight options, three offerings of wood chunks, five sizes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/smoker-logs\/\">heartwood logs<\/a>, and over 15 flavors of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/smokin--dust.html\"><strong>Smokin\u2019 Dust\u00ae<\/strong><\/a> product, making <strong>SmokinLicious<\/strong><strong>\u00ae<\/strong> the most innovative cooking wood supplier who also happens to manufacture every product.<\/p>\n<p>If the equipment to make our dream real didn\u2019t exist, we made it.\u00a0 If writing how to guides didn\u2019t prove enough, we offered videos.\u00a0 Additionally, if photos couldn\u2019t prove the differences in our products from others, then we offered up molecular analysis.<\/p>\n<p>This is The Smokinlicious\u00ae Story or at least our story to this point.\u00a0 There is so much more to come.\u00a0 Join us and experience a rebirth when it comes to wood fired cooking techniques and get the perfect partner for your needs.\u00a0 You can be part of the rest of The Smokinlicious\u00ae Story!<\/p>\n<h2>Purchase products:<\/h2>\n<h3><a
