J.R.'s Family Bar-B-Q

Howdy everyone...here's hoping that every one is well and in good spirits. I'm preparing to hit the road for a trip down to Lubbock, Texas for the OU vs. Texas Tech Big 12 Slobber Knocker Saturday. The game is at 11:30 a.m. on Fox Sports Southwest. It's a nice haul to Lubbock but after working for the "Big Cowboy" a 5 hour or so drive is no hill for a stepper.

Business has been good in our on line store and we are cranking out your orders quickly. I still encourage you to order early so that there are no issues with shipments arriving by the holidays. We are still offering FREE SHIPPING via Federal Express on many items and these products make great stocking stuffers or are just great to enjoy for yourself.

We've gotten awesome feedback on how much better our Beef Jerky is due to the new cooking process so you might want to check that out. 

Here's some BBQ'ed Random Thoughts....  more »

The brisk weather has moved into Oklahoma and last night was the first night in a long while that we had to turn our heat on in our home. Nonetheless we're expecting another great day here in Norman, home of the Oklahoma Sooners who travel to Lubbock to take on Texas Tech, who are coached by the "Mad Professor"  Mike Leach who calls out his player's "fat girl friends," this Saturday morning at 11:30. I'm hoping to make the trip but as Dad used to say, "You can't get there from here."  Where there's a will there's a way.

We sure appreciate everyone's business and for those that visit our site, send in questions, etc but never place an order, we hope that you will join the ever growing list of our customers. 

I've been checking into shipping to Canada via Federal Express and the VAT taxes among other additional charges really make sending packages to Canada expensive. There is no way we can offer free shipping to Canada, I wish that we could, but it simply isn't feasible. I am guessing that with shipping charges, VAT, customs fees and all the other things that the government charges us the shipping fees would run around $30 for a small package to approximately $50 for a package that weighs over a pound or two. We still aren't there but I wanted those of you that have asked to know  that I haven't forgotten about this matter.

Happy Monday to all. I watched a bunch of football and wrestling this weekend which wasn't a bad thing. Our business in JR's Family BBQ has been good and I spent a fair amount of time there both Friday and Saturday. I really enjoy talking with our guests who are usually long time wrestling fans or football fans which are two subjects with which I enjoy conversing.  

Many of you are being proactive and are ordering now for the holidays. Good thinking. We have a good supply of inventory and are actively shipping your orders as quickly as possible. Many times within 24 hours of receiving them here on line. 

If you live in our area, we have signed bottles of sauce in the store for only $3.99. 

For those of you ordering personally autographed JR's Cookbooks, I encourage you to order early as we will have to stop taking orders for the holidays to be able to get them to you. I try and write a little something extra in every book sold so I can assure you that I'm not going through the motions. I have so much respect for each of you and sincerely appreciate your business that words can't describe it. Hopefully, a simply "thank you" will do. 

So let's kick off this blog with some BBQ'ed random thoughts......      more »

What a great Saturday here in Norman. Texas A&M visits OU tonight at 6 on Fox Sports Southwest. I'll be on the Sooner sideline black with hat in tow hoping my team can become bowl eligible and win what I think will be a much tougher game Big 12 than than do the experts. OU -20 is insane.

The Mrs. and I attended the Oklahoma Womens Basketball official season opener last night. We have season tickets on the first row on the floor which are really primo. Got lucky there.

Our meeting with the great folks from the Homeland Grocery store chain went amazingly well Friday. We will be doing a 4 store test in the four Homeland Grocery stores in Norman within the next few weeks and then who knows how things will grow? Let's hear it for the home team!

1560 The Game's radio remote went super from JR's in Norman and we had a who's who of guests Friday afternoon. Houston's big sports talk station really promoted this site and our 1560 Game Blitz is worth checking out as you get three items and free shipping for &15.60!

All the sales packages are here on the site as I invite you to take a stroll through our store where many of our offers come with FREE SHIPPING but some also have a deadline because of the upcoming holidays.

It's another week which means that every day is a good day to be above ground.

Thanks for stopping by and paying us a visit. I returned in good shape with Sooners on their team plane LATE Saturday night after OU lost to long time rival Nebraska 10-3.

We have three new offers available now in our on line store that I hope that you'll check out. Also remember that our products make great stocking stuffers and if you are looking for multiple, unique gifts for large groups of family, friends and employees or co-workers that our case priced products that offer FREE shipping are great ideas.

Get your order in early and avoid the last minute holiday shipping frenzy. Plus, to personalize your cookbooks I need a little time. Order away!

Greetings everyone and thanks for stopping by our site. It's another beautiful day and I remain patient and vigilant that the facial nerves on the right side of my face will come to life any time now. Bells palsy has been around for at least 200 years with no known cure or cause. The last thing someone in my position should do is to stress over something that one can't affect. So I don't. No timeline...no new news...no worries. 

Life is good. Here's some BBQ'ed random thoughts....  more »
