Southern Pride Distributing, LLC was created out of necessity by two owners of a BBQ restaurant… a need to produce a more consistent, high quality BBQ and smoked meat products in large volume with significantly less labor. What started as a two person business in 1976 has now evolved into a world leading manufacturer of commercial BBQ smokers. Our smokers are capable of producing 150 to 1400 po

unds of pork per cook cycle without supervision. We manufacture our products in West Tennessee at our 117,000 square foot facility, located at 401 South Mill Street, Alamo, TN. We are proud to remain a tightly held, family owned and operated LLC.

Ernest knows BBQ! In 1983, comedy legend Jim Varney (as Ernest) starred in our promotional video, bringing fun to our serious smokers. 'Know what I mean?' Those early ads captured the heart and humor of Southern Pride. Classic! Who's seen it?
