You Need A BBQ

Our team loves the new kdays rub so much that we had The Promo Addict make us team tshirts to celebrate it!

Get 2 free tickets to kdays for every bottle of yonedas sold from now until the last day of Kdays!

The forecast for this weekend is looking pretty good... (fingers crossed)

Which means it’s time to stock up before the weekend.

Fresh pellets.
Charcoal.
Your favourite rub.
Maybe a new sauce you’ve been meaning to try.

Because nothing ruins a Saturday BBQ faster than realizing you’re out of fuel.

What are you firing up this weekend? 👇

One year ago we launched something special.
This year… we’re back.
Introducing the 2026 K-Days Sunset Brisket Rub, created in partnership with K-Days and available exclusively from You Need a BBQ and select retail partners for a limited time.
Inspired by summer evenings, live music, midway lights, and Alberta BBQ, this limited edition rub was built to create rich bark, bold beef flavour, and incredible brisket. It’s just as good on steaks, burgers, and anything else hitting the grill this summer.
As part of the K-Days Partner Program, when you purchase any Yonedas Seasonings during the month of July, you’ll receive 2 FREE K-Days admission tickets while supplies last.
We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with K-Days for a second year and to share this year’s exclusive flavour with all of you.
Available now in-store at You Need a BBQ.
🔥 Limited edition.
🎡 Limited time.
🥩 Built for Alberta summers.

Turn up the heat. Bring the fiesta home.

We’re firing up something bold, colourful, and full of flavour on July 12 (9AM–1PM) at YNABBQ.

This isn’t your average cooking class.

It’s a hands-on BBQ experience where you’ll learn how to build big, vibrant Mexican-inspired flavours right in your own backyard — with a BBQ twist.

Think:
🌮 next-level tacos
🥩 rich, smoky meats (pork, chicken, beef)
🔥 bold spice, citrus, heat + smoke
🍴 sauces, sides, and fiesta-style dishes you’ll actually want to recreate at home

Led by the award-winning You Need A BBQ team, this class is all about learning by doing, tasting as you go, and walking away with real skills you’ll use all summer long.

Whether you’re new to BBQ or already obsessed, you’ll leave inspired (and very full).

📍 You Need A BBQ – Sherwood Park
📅 July 12
⏰ 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Happy Canada Day from all of us at You Need A BBQ 🔥

Today is all about good food, good people, and firing up the grill with the best of them. Whether it is steaks, burgers, ribs, or something low and slow, we hope your BBQ is working overtime today.

However you are celebrating, keep it simple, keep it hot, and keep it delicious. 🍖

Throwback to one of our favourite summer launches. ☀️🔥
Last year’s K-Days BBQ Rub was an incredible project, and seeing it become part of so many of your backyard BBQs was something we’ll never forget.
It’s fun looking back at where we’ve been.
Stay tuned… summer is just getting started. 😉
