Hickory Chips BBQ    

Chip started out cooking for his friends and family years ago.  In 2006, he went public with his now nearly famous barbeque and sides.  If you are within a 200-mile range of historic Appomattox, Virginia, Chip can provide you with delicious hickory smoked barbequed chicken, ribs, beef and seafood!

  Mission Statement

Hickory Chips’ mission is to continue to help charities and assist in local fund-raising events in Appomattox, Virginia and the surrounding counties.

With this in mind, a lot of my personal money, time and effort goes into helping with these events in an effort to accomplish my mission of feeding and providing for those who are under-privileged.

NOW, at this time, I need help from our community to aid me in accomplishing this mission. 

The economy isn’t so great right now and I’m asking everyone to do a little extra.  For a moment, think about your daily habits.  Sometimes they are wasteful and maybe even destructive or unhealthy.  For example, you may spend money on unnecessary material possessions, waste time being a couch potato or perhaps use a gallon of gas that could be better used to deliver supplies.  Without too much personal sacrifice, you could probably do without a gallon of gas, a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of beer for a day or a week.  If you give that money as donations of food to our local food banks, churches or social services department, you are helping to “TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN”!!  Hickory Chips feels this responsibility and challenges you to do your part to help local under privileged families.

WE HAVE TO STAND UNITED AS ONE!

Hickory Chips has more announcements!

Coyote Ugly is here. The ultimate pig cooker or butt smoker.  Capability unimaginable!! 

This cooker has the capability of cooking 1,200 pounds at a time!  The food warmer can hold enough chopped pork to feed 1,500 people. In addition, I have an 8-foot stainless-steel gas grill for steaks, burgers, hotdogs.  I have a refrigerator/freezer to maintain proper temperatures to meet federal and state guidelines.

How I make my delicious BBQ!

My cooking process is all natural. I use nothing but hickory wood.  That's it!  No gas, no charcoal, just meat, smoke and fire. All meats are locally bought and are USDA Grade A inspected.  I never use additives or rubs.

My homemade sauce was developed over a period of time using trial and error (and friends as human guinea pigs). I believe my sauce is the best you can buy and is delicious whether you use it for basting, as a dipping sauce, or as a marinade.
