Jeff "Fro" and Stephanie Gilkerson are both from Central Illinois and for the last 25 years have been testing their recipes with their children, friends and family.
Just this year, Fro completed his biggest and best smoker yet, in the form of a 20 ft. long, multipurpose, smoker-trailer. Using all the best designs and ideas from the top smoked meat joints in the Southern United States, this smoker is portable and capable of handling hundreds of pounds of meat every day.
There is a long line of women in Stephanie's family that have proven to be excellent cooks and are very inventive with bringing old recipes into the present. She makes everything from scratch daily, nothing out of a premixed bag or box and nothing frozen.
