There's even a wooden box that we can brand which will instantly double your brand's exposure. These custom logo steak brands make great corporate gifts, convention giveaways, promotional gifts, and employee appreciation gift. Or maybe you're having a company BBQ or a western themed party, whatever the occasion, a custom logo steak brand from Texas Irons is a sure winner!

We've done many projects for large and small companies all over the world. Our turn-a-round time is pretty quick once the cut has been approved. We can also brand leather gloves/aprons, hardwood cutting boards or cedar hanging boards with your new logo iron.

The minimum order is 50 brands, but it is possible to do less, just make sure to call for a quote if interested. Due to the fact that we are cutting logos out of metal we may need to make slight changes, in most cases those alterations are unnoticeable. If the changes need to be major we will provide creative options that have been a huge success with clients in the past.

These logos shown here are all property of their original owner corporations, we were asked to create brands of these logos either by employees of that company or by brokers doing work for those companies. All logos were approved before a brand was created.

Wood Pellets, a great way to enhance meat flavor!

Wood Pellets are made from natural wood by evacuating all of the air within the cellular structure of the wood. This allows the wood to be compacted into a very dense form. Pellets yield intense smoke quickly which in-turn helps seal the meat, lock in the moisture and add flavor.

It is cheaper to use wood pellets since you normally only need 1/3 of a cup of pellets for most cooking events. The cost per use (10 uses per 1 lb. bag) will leave less of a hole in your pocket than that of wood chips.

The pellets come from sawdust that has been shaped by applying high heat and pressure any contaminants present in the wood are eliminated. This process produces a smoking wood product of consistent quality. Each flavor is produced from the wood species it is named after. Jack Daniel’s® Smoking Pellets in made using mellowing charcoal from the distillery which is pulverized and blended with sawdust and is then transformed into a palletized form.

Using pellets is much easier since you do not soak them in water before use like you do when using wood chips. They also offer more versatility by allowing you the option of blending more than one flavor together to achieve a personalized flavor.
To use the pellets, simply place 1/3 of a cup of pellets in the smoker box (lining the box in foil reduces cleanup time) and place the box on the grill right above the flame. When the smoke starts coming out, place your food on the cooking grate and close the cover of your grill. Smoke normally last up to 30 minutes depending on the temperature of your grill.
