American Flame
The Ultimate BBQ Experience
Welcome to The Ultimate BBQ Experience: American Flame! This box is built for bold backyard cooking with fire-forward heat, savory steakhouse depth, Carolina mustard tang, and buttery herb balance. From open-flame ribeyes and smoked pork shoulder steaks to low and slow ribs, spatchcocked chicken, and sausage night favorites, every item in this lineup is designed to help you build flavor in layers and cook with confidence.
This is the kind of box that rewards real grilling and smoking technique. Season first. Smoke with intention. Sauce at the right moment. Then let the fire do the rest.
Chicago Fire BBQ Sauce by Old Southern Barbecue: Bold, hot, and built with a fiery blend of chilies, this small-batch sauce brings old-school BBQ joint energy with a punchy finish that shines on pork, chicken, ribs, and more.
The Rocks by Whiskey Bent BBQ: A savory red meat rub with salt, black pepper, garlic, onion, paprika, chili peppers, and herbs, this blend delivers the kind of bold crust and beef-friendly flavor that belongs on steaks, brisket, burgers, and even pork shoulder steaks.
Lane's Southbound Sauce: This tangy Carolina mustard sauce brings bright balance, subtle sweetness, and a classic Southern barbecue profile that cuts through rich meats and lights up pork, chicken, sausages, and sandwiches.
Hi-West Montana Buttery Herb Seasoning: Rich, savory, and herb-forward, this seasoning adds buttery depth and aromatic lift to chicken, vegetables, potatoes, seafood, and layered cooks where you want extra richness without extra heat.
Bear Mountain BBQ Smoke Ems: These easy-to-use wood smoke packets make it simple to add real hardwood smoke flavor to your grill. Just place one over heat to infuse your cook with authentic BBQ character, no dedicated smoker required.
Happy grilling,

About the Vendor:
We are a small family-owned company started by my grandmother Hazel Donelson in 1991. My name is William Brasher, I am the operations manager of the current facility, and would like to take you on our journey back to the beginning where it all started to the present day.
Hazel was first introduced to the world of spices and seasoning blends in 1970 when she started working for Griffith Labs in Union City, Ca as a QC. At this time in 1980 Hazel went to work with former colleagues, at Associated Systems in Dublin, continuing to create seasonings and recipes for School Districts. During this time, in the early 80’s Hazel put me to work helping my grandmother make samples.
In 1988 Hazel went to work for Everson Spice Co. in Southern California. She created seasoning for prepackaged meat that would be displayed in Albertson’s and Lucky supermarkets in the meat department. I still made samples for her when Hazel worked on weekends and her husband Bill Donelson would help her at tradeshows.
In 1991 Hazel started her own company that was family run, Delta Spice Works Inc., in Union City, Ca. Her husband Bill became the mixer, packager, and would pick up ingredients they needed for all the seasonings she created. My mother Debbie Rumage would help with shipping and packaging. I continued to help package on the weekends. In 1995 Hazel moved the company to a bigger building in Pittsburg, Ca. Bill oversaw the warehouse and Debbie would do labels and accounting. I helped run the packaging equipment, batch formulas, and mix.
Our family was devastated by Bill’s passing in 2000. Shortly after in 2001 Hazel moved the company to Newman, Ca where she had lived for many years as a child. I would take on more of a management role. My mother would still work in the office and Hazel would do what she does better than most, create seasonings for anything and everything. If you could think it, she would create it.
The family involvement continued to grow in 2003 when my Uncle Vince (Williams)left behind his career and many accomplishments after 20+ years to join his mother in the spice business and become what remains today, the owner and CEO of the Company. Hazel continued to be the creative genius behind the formulas and still is to this day. I was Operations manager until 2006 when I decided to take an extended vacation to drive truck cross country.
The company continued to go through many changes up to 2007 when the Company became Hi-west Foods Inc. In 2012 I met my future wife from Australia, Julie-Anne Williams while playing a video game on my phone during my rest breaks in the truck. We were to marry in 2015 and both return to Newman on the request of my grandmother and Uncle Vince. I became the Operations Manager and in 2016 Julie-Anne became the QA/QC for Hi-West Foods.
Over the years Hazel has created so many formulas it’s hard to count. We’ve made and continued to make products for schools, prisons, restaurants, meat packing companies, and the list goes on, but never with our own brand. Chances are you have already seen some of our work and even tasted it.
