  |  | Pig Of The Month: The Gift Of BBQ Jump to the article index below    If you want to send a gift of barbecue, Pig of the Month  is ready to oblige. It may just be what Dad wants for Father’s Day. There’s a six-month club option; but you can create your own single-gift barbecue package, choosing among beef barbecue, baby back ribs, smoked pulled pork, gourmet sausages, bacon, sides, desserts, and of course, barbecue sauces.  All of the foods are made with  all natural ingredients (no HFCS,  MSG or   preservatives), and the company uses only ethically raised meats.  The meat arrives cooked and flash-frozen, ready to reheat and eat (vacuum packed, it will last for two weeks unopened in the fridge or six months in the freezer). A Family Passion DeliversThe business was inspired by the Richards family’s vacation tradition, “an insanely wild goose chase for the best barbecue” in America.  After years of hitting the road from their home base of Dayton, Ohio, the Richards realized that they had all the experience, recipes and tips from pit masters nationwide to make the great barbecue they wanted at home. The next step was turning all the knowledge and skill into a business, so that you, too, can stay at home and enjoy regional barbecue favorites. The result: smoked barbecue ribs, award winning pulled pork, specialty sausages, gourmet bacon, sides, and award winning barbecue sauces.  The smoking technique was perfected over many decades; the style is  tender-on-the-inside but crispy-on-the-outside, smoky, tear-off-the-bones  barbecue.
