• History of the Yeager's Ribs / G.R's Smokehouse

Thank you all for participating in this new adventure and fulfillment of a father and son's dream. Thank you also for your support. For those of you who don't know the history, the father and son and family barbecue has long been a remembrance of the smell of the hickory smoke as well as the laughter and memories that were created between a father and son. It all began years ago in Bibb County, Alabama. It laid dormant for years until one day in 2007, on Father's Day he and I always exchange gifts and my father bought me my first smoker that would smoke six baby back ribs at one time. At one point he said "Son, we did good. All were looking for is satisfied customers." Soon everyone fell in love with the new found dry rub, and it was two years later when my father thought we needed a larger smoker. Remembering the commercial smoker he and I saw in 2007, he said, "Son, that's the smoker we need." So, with our eyes on the large commercial smoker, he bought me a personal smoker that would smoke 9 to 12 baby back ribs at one time. Once again he said, "Son, we did good. All were looking for is satisfied customers."
After losing my father in August 2014, I held onto our dream as a father and son with hope, faith, and perseverance. I decided to make that dream come true and purchased a commercial smoker just like the one he saw in 2007. I named it G.R's Smokehouse after my father, George Robert Yeager, formerly known as Yeager ribs. He always said after every rib cooking, "Son, we did good. All were looking for is satisfied customers." I would like to tell him, "Dad, we did good. Now we got more satisfied customers."
