Every backyard pit has a name
Some backyard joints get a hand-painted sign by the gate: a name, the word BBQ, a town and the year the first fire was lit. This range puts that sign on what the cook wears. You type the words, a live preview on the product page shows them in signboard lettering, and the same text is repeated in your cart, at checkout and in the order email.
The Backyard Joint Signboard Apron carries three lines: the joint’s name in capitals (up to 18 characters), the town (up to 18 characters, optional) and a since year (optional). The Pitmaster Name Apron puts his name in capitals (up to 16 characters) over a title you pick from a short list: Pitmaster, Fire Tender, Sauce Boss, Head Cook or Taste Tester. The Backyard Joint Tee takes the same three lines as the signboard apron for the cook who wants the joint on a shirt for the reunion cook.
Before you type
We print exactly what you type: spelling, capitals and spacing. No proof is sent before production, so read it once more. Shorten long names to fit: Smoke Hollow Barbecue Company becomes SMOKE HOLLOW BBQ. Please do not type brand, restaurant or team names. The since year is your own text about your own backyard. If you spot a typo, write within 24 hours (how to change an order); personalised items can be returned within 60 days like everything else.
