Scott's Smoked Q

09/19/2026

12 years ago today, I walked into The Shed BBQ and Blues Joint in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, for the first time.

It wasn't for Scott's Smoked Q. That didn't even exist.

I was there with my friend Chad Houck and his salsa company, and that's where I first met Brad Orrison and Brooke Orrison Lewis.

Fast forward to November 28, 2025.

This time I walked into The Shed carrying bottles with MY name on them.

Somehow I went from being the guy excited to meet Brad Orrison… to THE Brad Orrison standing there with Scott's Smoked Q in his hands — Cocoa Coffee Magic on the brisket, mixing Carolina Gold with The Original, and giving Carolina Gold a new job: “Boogie Binder.” 😂

His kids were there too, trying the products and loving them.

And now, 12 years after we first met, Brad is popping up in my Instagram notifications liking Scott's Smoked Q posts. 😂

Funny where life takes you.

12 years ago I walked into The Shed with somebody else's products.

12 years later, I'm walking in with my own damn products.

That's pretty freaking cool.

P.S. Don't mind the statue standing next to Brad in the video. That's me trying to process the fact that he wanted to film with MY products. 😂

Naturally, I was so excited I waited almost a YEAR to post the damn thing.

Marketing genius right here. 🤦‍♂️😂

🍓 GOING, GOING… BERRY!

The berries are going seasonal — as they probably should’ve been all along. 🍓

Strawberry Velvet and Bangin’ Berry are officially heading back to the vault.

Once the bottles we have are gone, they’re GONE.

No new batches. No “can you make me just one?”
No secret stash hiding in the back. 😂

The good news? They’ll be back for strawberry season. We’re planning to bring them back around January.

But between now and then?

If Strawberry Velvet has been living in your fridge…

If Bangin’ Berry has become your go-to hot sauce…

Or if you’ve been saying, “I really need to try that…”

👉 Now’s the time.

🍓 Strawberry Velvet
🔥 Bangin’ Berry

Grab ’em while you can — because once this batch is gone, the berries are taking a break until strawberry season.

Boring food ends here.

He called himself a “mustard professional.” 😏

Then he tried Carolina Gold.

Sweet. Tangy. Kiss of heat.

🏆 2x National Award Winner

Award-winning flavor that works on a whole lot more than barbecue — chicken, pork, burgers, sandwiches, dipping, drizzling, glazing… whatever needs a little help.

Handcrafted. Small batch.

Tasting is Believing.

Today, we remember.

We remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
We remember the families whose lives were forever changed.
We remember the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away.

Twenty-five years later, we honor their memory and will never forget. 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001 — Never Forget.
