FireBoard Dealer Spotlight | Jeff Silvers and Smokin’ Deal BBQ

FIreBoard is grateful for the more than 100 dealers across the country who stock our products. The manufacturer – dealer relationship is very important to the overall FireBoard success. The idea of having FireBoard products available in local BBQ specialty stores and departments was always a primary focus in getting FireBoard products into consumers hands.

One of the first dealers on the FireBoard list was Jeff Silvers at Smokin’ Deal BBQ. Jeff spent nearly 30 years working in the corporate world. In 2013, he decided to promote his passion for BBQ through opening a specialty BBQ store in the northern Chicagoland area. After outgrowing multiple locations, he is currently in Vernon Hills, IL, at least until he once again outgrows his space!

“FireBoard Drive has been THE game changer. Period. Exclamation point!”

Jeff Silvers

FireBoard caught up with Jeff on a recent trip to Chicago and had the pleasure of touring his facility. Smokin’ Deal BBQ in the go-to place in the Chicagoland area for outdoor kitchen cabinetry and appliances. They offer options and brands at all price levels and have a section of their showroom dedicated to customers and designers for this clientele. Smokin’ Deal also offers the full line of Yoder Smokers products, which, of course, integrate the FireBoard electronics. And what would a BBQ store be without a wall full of sauces and rubs!

Jeff is committed to offering quality USA made products to his customers. With USA flags displayed throughout the store, it’s not hard to see his dedication for this approach! And this is exactly why and where FireBoard is part of his store inventory. As a long-time FireBoard partner, he’s seen the early FireBoard products take shape and evolve into the FireBoard 2 thermometers, Spark instant read thermometer and Pulse wireless probe. Products all designed, manufactured and assembled at FireBoard HQ in Kansas City, MO.

FireBoard is proud to partner with Jeff and Smokin’ Deal BBQ and all our brick and mortar partners across the country. Well done Jeff!
