Great source for real BBQ supplies

Hey BBQ Lovers,

I spent the afternoon yesterday meeting with the owner and staff at Lip Smakin Smokers in Elizabeth NJ. The owner, Rob, is one of the nicest people I've ever met and is a true BBQ aficionado. They are a great local source for you to get your BBQ supplies (Smokers, wood, lump charcoal, sauces, rubs, books...) Be sure to tell them that I, The RibMan, sent ya.
