Little Pig Town

After winter breaks & scheduling conflicts, LPT was finally able to give Bit by Bit our Big Poppa Smokers charity donation today.

We have been so honored to be a part of the BPS Children’s Charity points race for several years. Sterling, your generosity, giving heart and love for kids has made being a part of the Cooking 4 Kids program a highlight of bbq for us.

As I gave the check today, I was able to see first hand a little guy during his therapy session. The smile on his face brought so much joy to me to know this charity is doing great things.

Thank you Bit by Bit for helping so many kids and to Sterling & Big Poppa Smokers for creating this program and allowing us to make a difference. We appreciate you all for everything you do for us.

Shout out to KOS2018 Reserve Grand Champion, Steve Hayden and One2BBQ, congrats on your finish!!

The Jack, 2018. As LPT leaves the holler we take many memories with us. There is just something special about Lynchburg, Tennessee. It was a rainy weekend but no place I would have rather been. We haven’t cooked much lately but it was like riding a bike, felt good too! We managed an 8th place pork call and finished 14th overall out of 102 champions. Huge congrats to Butcher Bbq, bringing the World Championship back to Oklahoma! Great job to Iowa’s Smokey D’s for Reserve!
Our sponsors are some of the best out there, thanks for everything Sterling, Big Poppa Smokers, Emily & Smithfield

Headed back to The Jack!!
