FAQ
1. So the meat is fully cooked?

Our barbecue typically needs about a day to thaw, but if you would like we also include reheating instructions from a frozen state on our reheating card that comes with every order.
3. Do you have any special offers?
We always have something on special. To receive our special deals you must be signed up for our e-mails. To sign up now to get Pig of the Month e-mails click here.
4. How do I reheat what was just delivered?
The easiest way to reheat our meat products is in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes to one hour or until the product reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. We also include with each order a reheating instructions document. But, if you’ve lost it or the dog ate it, here is the link to it Reheating Instructions.
5. How do I track my package?
You will receive an email the day that your package ships with the tracking number and a link to FedEx. Depending on the shipping method you chose, you can expect to receive your order within 2 days from shipment date. FedEx will leave the package at the address provided without a signature, so when you see it has been delivered be on the lookout!
6. How long can I keep a bottle of sauce once it’s been opened?
Sauce should be consumed within one (1) year from the date it was opened.
7. How long can I keep the ribs in the refrigerator? Freezer?
Our product will last for 2 weeks unopened in the refrigerator or up to 9 months in the freezer.
8. How long will leftovers stay good in the refrigerator?
Products should be consumed within 7 days! How could you wait any longer?!
9. Does any of your products contain MSG or other preservatives?
No. Preservatives are for jerks. And jerks we are not. See our policy on real foods.
10. What do I do with the leftover dry ice?
We ship your order with the exact amount of dry ice that it need to reach you. Usually, there is none left when it arrives. If there is, do not touch dry ice with your bare hands, it will burn you! Use oven mitts or a pair of tongs and dispose in an outside garbage can. Dry ice will evaporate. But, if you have children, or are a child at heart, try this fun trick. Put the dry ice in a large soup pot, and then pour a pitcher of hot water over it and watch it fog up your house. Good times!
11. Why can’t I order just what I want?
You can! Contact one of our order specialists and we will be more than happy to get you exactly what you need. Check Out Our Custom Orders!
12. Are any of your products sugar free or do they contain gluten?
Unfortunately, all of our products contain sugar, but we would be more than happy to recommend one of the fabulous sugar free sauces we have found in our travels. We will even go to the trouble for you, of putting together a sugar free package for you, if that would make your life easier.
13. Do you offer any overseas shipping?
Due to the perishable nature of most of our products, we cannot ship meat or sides overseas. We can however ship our BBQ sauces internationally, contact Sales@pigofthemonth.com or 866-416-9190 to place your order.
14. Can I ship to a post office box or APO address?
We cannot ship to PO or APO addresses due to the perishable nature of our products.
15. Can I store my shipping and billing addresses so that I don’t have to enter them next time?
Of course! That is one of the many great features of our new system. When you sign up we require your billing address because it is attached to your form of payment. If your billing address or shipping address changes you can easily change it. You will still be required to input your credit card information every time you order for security purposes.
16. How long can food stay in the box once I receive it?
Once the package is received, you will want to put it in the refrigerator or freezer as soon as possible. Meat left in the box overnight once it has been delivered will most likely spoil.
17. How long does shipping take?
If you place an order Monday – Wednesday before 12pm EST, your order will ship that day. If you place an order Thursday it will ship Monday unless overnight shipping is selected. Orders placed Friday – Sunday will ship out Monday.

22. I live in Dayton – where can I pick up locally?
W have several places nearby that sell our ribs, pulled pork, and sauces. To find the closest to you check out our Local Pick Up page.
23. I didn’t get a purchase receipt!
A lot of times when your first order from us, your purchase receipt will get sent to spam on accident. Check there first and if you still can’t find it, e-mail Orders@pigofthemonth.com to request a new one.
24. I’m not sure how much food to order… can you help a brother out?!
But of course! 1 rack of our ribs will feed 2 people normally or 1 very hungry hippo. The 2 rack package will feed 4 people. One pound of pulled pork will make 3-4 sandwiches.
25. I ordered something but now I’d like to make a change to my order..HALP!
Don’t sweat it. These things happen and we understand. Just e-mail orders@pigofthemonth.com with your first and last name and order number and we will work with you to make any changes.
26. Your name is Pig of the Month… does that mean I’m going to get billed for something every month?
No way Jose! We hate companies that do that – so we would never operate like that. The name originally started because we offered so many different styles of BBQ, but as we’ve grown we’ve dropped some of them. The idea was originally to “get you pig of the month, every month” – because everyone should have good BBQ at least once a month.
27. When I order the BBQ of the Month club, can I choose which months I want?
You can choose which month you want to start the shipments, but after that it goes consecutively. Just put your preference into the special date field when checking out!
