Southern California in the late 1990s. From the start, it was involved in smoke flavors, working as both a broker and a distributor. This experience offered valuable insight into the unique challenges of sourcing and delivering high-quality smoke flavorings. Recognizing that the smoke flavoring industry was dominated by a handful of foreign-owned processors, Marc saw an opportunity to create something distinctly different: a fully American-owned and operated smoke flavoring manufacturing business that emphasized quality, service, and trust.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-895c959 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"895c959\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8b2602 lte-heading-align-center elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile_extra__width-inherit lte-heading-style-default lte-watermark-offset-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-lte-header\" data-id=\"d8b2602\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"lte-header.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lte-heading lte-style-default lte-subcolor-main heading-tag-h3 heading-subtag-h6\"><div class=\"lte-heading-content\"><h3 class=\"lte-header\">We Put Customer Service First<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bf388c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3bf388c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91e79ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"91e79ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our level of customer service is exceptional for both new and existing clients.\u00a0 Our size allows us to work more closely with you and offer more customized solutions.\u00a0 Contact us directly at\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"tel:9314989610\">(931) 498-9610<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"mailto:smokeinfo@qsting.com\">smokeinfo@qsting.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0to get started.\u00a0 You can also send us a message on our contact page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>100% American Made Our Name Says It All 100% American made, American owned.\u00a0 Marc Rinehart, CEO and founder of QST Liquid Smoke started the manufacturing company in middle TN in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29531","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29531"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40154,"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29531\/revisions\/40154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/qstliquidsmoke.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
