The kits, developed by the company's founder Kerry Fitzmaurice, were created to promote [tasty alternatives to meat-based grilling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunk-pulled-products). Fitzmaurice, who had to delay plans to open a vegan BBQ restaurant due to pandemic restrictions, decided to focus on building out an e-commerce platform that empowers consumers to make their own vegan BBQ. The Pure Grit BBQ Kits consist of three flavoring options: the BBQ Sauce, the Hot Stuff, and the BBQ Blend. Each sauce has a unique flavor profile that works well independently or alongside the other sauces. The Pure Grit BBQ Kits can be ordered on the company's website. The site also includes numerous vegan BBQ recipes to bring the sauces to life during the [summer BBQ season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandys-summer-marinades).
