Top 20 Questions
1.
Who owns Beulah Land BBQ?
Doug Allen and Ronnie Douglas. They've been friends since sixth
grade; they both
played football for Tate High School and graduated in 1984. (Photo
/ Newspaper Story.)
2.
When did Doug play football for the University of Alabama? Rooool
Tide!!!
From 1984 to 1987.
He was a 3 year letterman.
3. Who manages Beulah Land
Bar-B-Q?
Doug Allen is the manager. He was formally the general manager of the
original Dream Land BBQ in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
4. When I see smoke coming from
your chimney on the way to work at 5 am, I always lower the window so I
can get a whiff of your BBQ cooking! Now the question -- do
you cook all night? Can I have a quart of the aroma to go?
Yes, we often cook around the clock. Good BBQ takes
a very long time to prepare and there
are no shortcuts. We always start with good meat and cook it s-l-o-w-l-y
at a low temperature.
Sorry, no carry-outs on the mouth-watering aroma, but stop by anytime
and enjoy. If you like the aroma you'll love our Beulah
Land BBQ sauce.
5. How do you cook the BBQ? What
kind of wood do you use?
We cook our barbecue in a big, open brick-pit fired with
seasoned hickory logs.

6. Where
on earth do you get hickory logs in the piney woods of Beulah, Florida?
Our hickory logs come all the way
from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and are supplied by our old friend, Jeff.
And in case you wondered, hickory belongs to the walnut family and is a
cousin to the pecan.
7. Why
use hickory logs?
We've tried everything: apple, pecan, maple, walnut, you name it -- but we think
hickory
is best.
It has a robust zest, burns slowly and produces a great deal of heat.
It is perfect for our open pit method of barbecuing. To us, hickory is the
king of the woods because of the way it enhances just
about any meat, especially pork, ribs, chicken and sausage.
8. I
love the name Beulah Land, because it is my favorite hymn, but why did
you choose that name?
We selected the name Beulah Land
because of the hymn and to honor the
community of Beulah; also, for us, it's peaceful living. Many of our customer
share our love for the name too. You can read their comments in our guestbook
and while you are there, add your own,
9. What
other business endeavors is Ronnie Douglas involved in?
Ronnie is the owner of Grocery
Outlet in Molino; partner in an Arthur
Rutenburg franchise that operates in Gulf Shores, AL; and a full service car wash
is under construction now in Milton.
10. Do
you cater? Can I host a party at Beulah Land? Do you have carry-out? Do
you accept reservations?
Yes, yes, yes and no we do not
accept reservations. See our catering
