Weekend BBQ Store

So, being a Traeger nut, I have been trying for a year to get my son to allow me to gift him one of those incredible grills. This store is owned by two of his friends, wonderful people by the way. I went in and was very pleased with the professional and friendly service we received. Not only did were we guided to the correct grill for my son, but they told us of their «Assemble It For You» service. I remembered the hour plus that I had spent assembling my own Traeger a year ago and was ALL FOR THAT! Having done it once, I am sure I could have done it in half the time, but not doing it at all was WONDERFUL! On top of that, they delivered for free so we did not have to come back to pick it up after assembly.
I went back today and not only did they remember me, but they steered me to their selection of craft beers and wines. I was very sad to hear that I had missed the beer tasting last weekend with a lot of fine Belgian brews. I learned though that the monks who make the brews only keep enough to continue brewing and that the rest of the profits are poured back into their charitable projects. I liked learning that almost as much as I like the Belgian Beers.
They also have some other top of the line grills, but you would have to ask them to tell you what they are, my heart (and stomach) belong to Traeger!

As American Comic Book superhero Beta Ray Bill once said:
«If there’s nothing but what we make in this world, brothers (and sisters)…let us make it good.»
Weekend BBQ Store has done just that. They have created a pocket of goodness in the world of Old Boise. Looking for a new grill or smoker? Charcoal? Pellets? Pretty much any grill accessory/​tool the quest for grilled cuisine can contrive? They’ve got it. They also have a pretty impressive selection of grill-​centric cook books of all varieties (vegetarian grilling? Yep! They’ve got the tools and cookbooks to make all your grilled veggie dreams come true).
Plus, they have a variety of Stanley items. I scored a set of Stanley stainless steel shot glasses the last time I was in (for hiking summit shots, of course).
And, oh hey… a pretty cool selection of beer.
Get to it!

Boise has needed a store like this for a long time!
While there are many places to get run of the mill BBQ supplies there hasn’t been a real boutique specialty store for the BBQ enthusiast.
The weekend BBQ Store is small but packed with unique tools, sauces, gifts and grills. You’ll find a wide selection of Trager Grills, which in my opinion is likely the last grill you’ll ever own once you’ve used it.
The staff at the store are very knowledgable and this is where the store really shines. Everyone working at the store is not just a BBQ aficionado but people who are active BBQ chefs who are constantly experimenting and contributing to the BBQ community.
You’ll find a wide selection of sauces, rubs, and BBQ accessories. Pick up a new Bloody Mary Mix while you are there (the 3 Bar is exceptional) or check out a Kamado Joe Grill, I may need to add one to my back porch but can’t imagine using it even remotely as often as my Trager.
Very solid beer and wine selection as well.
There is a massive selection of Trager products to choose from and there doesn’t seem to be a thing from the Trager lineup they done have.
This is a place you’ll drop in and end up staying for the conversation and likely an argument or two about what makes good BBQ great. I’m so excited we finally have a store like this in Boise!
