    The Timber Ridge Backyard Host
    Rather than take up more precious counter space, the Timber Ridge Backyard Deep Fryer ($700) can provide you with golden brown deliciousness anytime you want on a massive scale, as long as you don’t mind cooking outside. Thanks to push-button electric ignition, it’s dead simple to use and there’s no need to have fire on hand. The company’s signature Clean Flow oil-filtration system also lets you reuse its restaurant grade 9 gallon cooking oil reservoir up to 50 times over, while a precision temp controls ensure your food fries perfectly.

    There are going to be more folks adding things to auction. The point is, this is going to be a day to honor the men and women who selflessly dedicate themselves to protecting us all. Can you just give up a Saturday? We promise it to be fun and you may just be a winner.
    Chase Creek is also donating a buck ($1) from every beer sold to the kitty. We can’t wait.
    Let’s not forget the other major donors:
    Original Juan, Kansas City, MO. $15,000 worth of American Stockyard BBQ sauce.
    Fat Daddy BBQ Spice from Boise, Idaho
    Parker Pure Mountain Charcoal. Four skids of America’s finest lump charcoal from Tennessee.
    Perferated Tube, Dave Doezema, for providing warehousing for all this product. Ada, MI.
    ABS, American BBQ Systems, Kansas City, MO for donating a portion of the cost for 3 Judge Smokers valued at over $18,000 and costing us lest than $13,000.
    The Meritage Group of restaurants from Grand Rapis, MI donated $3,300.00 in cash. These folks run all the Wendy’s in west Michigan and own The Twisted Rooster, Freighters, and The Crooked Goose.
    As well as Air Force Moms in Kansas City who collected a very large box of candy.
    There are more and if we left you out, please forgive us. This task has been a bit overwhelming to bring together with just a few volunteers.
