JACKSONVILLE, Mo. — After two decades in the U.S. Army and three deployments, Ben Watkins returned home to Jacksonville, Missouri, with a clear sense of purpose, but no clear map for civilian life.

This is what we mean when we say the smoker’s been busy.

Fresh brisket coming off at Red’s Shed.

$18/lb until it’s gone.

We’re still working our way toward reopening, but nobody said you had to wait until September 18th to eat good.

Call or text Ben if you want some.

Who needs a pound... and who knows darn well a pound isn’t enough?

Alright guys... the brisket is ready. 🔥

No fancy sales pitch needed. Look at it.

Brisket $18/lb

Smoked, sliced, and ready to go until we sell out.

Remember, Red’s isn’t officially back open yet, but Ben’s keeping the smoker busy.

Want some? Call or text and claim yours before somebody else does.

And yes... those burnt ends count as quality control. 😂

Red’s is still closed for now, but Ben’s got some good stuff available while it lasts.

🔥 Pulled Pork — $15/lb
🔥 Brisket — $18/lb
🔥 Brisket Fat & Trimmings — 50¢/lb

Ben’s not at Red's Shed, give him a call or text to arrange pickup.

And now we’ve got a date to circle:

SEPTEMBER 18TH.

That’s when Red’s opens back up for lunch and the street dance.

After that, we’ll start settling into lunch hours, and if everything goes according to plan, Fish Fry Fridays could be back September 25th.

We’re getting there, guys. One step at a time.
