That's the secret recipe at Step 3 Brands. You may know the company as Stump Chunks, four brothers who creat- ed an all-natural fire starter made from old tree stumps. The company has had so much fun introducing its product to out- door enthusiasts that it has added some- thing new to its product line. This spring, the company is excited to be launching Step 3 BBQ Sauces. Step 3 sauces are made by Frank, a guy who is obsessed with grilling – so obsessed that on a whim he decided to enter the Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Sauce event and won! This was an unbelievable feat, but it's clear the judges got it right. Just like Stump Chunks, the compa- ny just had to share this amazing product. The three sauce flavors offered are: CAMPFIRE, a smoky mesquite with a little bit of heat; BACK ROADS, a thick golden sauce; and SWEET THRILL, a smoky sweet sauce that revs up your meat. Don't forget about Stump Chunks. Completely green and self-sustaining, Stump Chunks is a fire starter that is 100 percent wood. It contains absolutely no chemicals or additives. The secret to the magic of Stump Chunks is the stump itself. It just took some clever but chilly fellows to figure out how easy it is to start a fire using dried chunks of wood from old tree stumps. Stump Chunks is great for anyone who wants an easier, faster and environ- mentally safe way to light their wood stove, fire place, fire pit or light charcoal for grilling. This is a product that you can enjoy year-round. The outdoor grilling market is grow- ing every day as people are discovering the enhanced flavor of their food by cooking with charcoal or wood. With Stump Chunks, you no longer have that long wait to start cooking. You can be ready to go in less than five minutes, get- ting to Step 3 – quicker! Fire it up, it's time to chill!
