Looking for your next barbecue favourite? Start with a Napoleon® grill from B & W Hardware and try this crowd-pleasing recipe.

Ingredients

2 to 4 pork butt steaks
Kosher salt to taste
Very finely ground black pepper to taste
Your favourite BBQ maple glaze

Equipment

Your favourite wood chips for smoking
Napoleon Stainless Steel Smoker Box or Pipe

Method

1. Season pork butt steaks generously with kosher salt on all sides. Grind pepper through a mesh sieve to dust only the finest particles over the pork for clean pepper flavour without burning. Place steaks on a rack over a tray and rest for at least 40 minutes. If resting longer, refrigerate to dry brine.
2. When ready to grill, remove a set of cooking grids and the sear plate over one burner. Install the Napoleon Stainless Steel Smoker Box and fill with wood chips.
3. Ignite two burners on your Napoleon grill (not the one under the smoker box) and set to medium-low. Preheat the grill to 325°F for indirect cooking.
4. Place pork over unlit burners. Turn off the preheated burners and ignite the burner under the smoker box. Smoke for 30-40 minutes, brushing lightly with the maple glaze, until the internal temp reaches 145–150°F.
5. Remove pork and heat two side-by-side burners to high. Preheat the grill to 500°F+ or use the Infrared SIZZLE ZONE Side Burner.
6. Sear pork over direct heat, brushing lightly with more maple glaze on the final flip.
7. Serve with seasonal vegetables and your favourite starch.

Delicious results start with great ingredients and a great grill. Try this easy recipe on your Napoleon® grill from B & W Hardwareand taste the difference.

🔥 Twice a year, it’s time to DEEP CLEAN.

Spring and Fall are when I give my Traeger Timberline XL an extreme deep clean — and I mean deep. This one includes removing the lid so I can even scrape away the smoke residue and buildup that accumulates over months of cooking.

A good deep clean helps your grill run efficiently, reduces grease buildup, keeps temperatures and airflow consistent, and gets everything ready for another season of cooking.

And you don’t have to look far for what you need — we carry all the grill-cleaning supplies right here at B & W Hardware!

If your grill worked hard all Summer like mine did - Fall is the perfect time to show it a little love. 🔥🧽

🔄 A little change… without really changing a thing.

We’ve been moving some of your favorite products around the store — not because they’re going anywhere, but because we’re working to make B & W Hardware easier to shop and more customer-friendly.

Same products. Same people. Same full-service hardware store you know.

They just might be in a new spot the next time you stop in! 👀

After all, even a store that’s been around since 1949 can change things up every now and then. 😉

🔥 NEW at B & W Hardware, Co. — just in time for cooler weather!

The weather is about to start changing, and those cool fall mornings and evenings can be a lot more comfortable with the Napoleon Phantom Freestand Electric Heater!

⚡ Just plug it in and enjoy — no propane tanks to fill, change or run out of. Its infrared heat warms people and objects directly, with 9 heat settings and a multi-positional design that lets you direct the heat where you need it — making it great for almost any space.

And because it’s electric, there are no propane fumes or fuel refills, making it a cleaner, hassle-free way to extend your time outdoors — perfect for your morning coffee, grilling dinner, or just relaxing on the patio! 🍂

🥩 Welcome to Wake Forest, Outback Steakhouse!

We had the pleasure of enjoying lunch today at the new Outback Steakhouse in Grove 98 during their VIP Soft Open ahead of next week’s grand opening!

A big thank you to the Outback team for the invitation and hospitality. The food was fantastic, the drinks were great, and their team did an excellent job getting everything ready to serve everyone in Wake Forest!

We always enjoy welcoming new businesses to our town and wish the entire Outback Steakhouse team much success as they open their doors next week.

Thanks again for having us — we look forward to our next visit! 🎉🥩

A lot has changed in Wake Forest over the last 40 years — but, thankfully, some things haven’t. ❤️

The top photo takes us back roughly four decades, when our store was still Weston’s Hardware. The bottom photo was taken today — same building, same green awning, and still a neighborhood hardware store serving our community.

Wake Forest has grown and changed in ways that would have been hard to imagine back then. Businesses have come and gone, streets have transformed, and our little town has become a whole lot bigger.

But through it all, this corner of downtown has remained a hardware store — and B & W Hardware, Co. remains one of the few constants in an ever-changing Wake Forest.

Different name. Different era. Same hometown hardware store.

Since 1949 — and proud to still be here. 💚🔨
