Customer Success Story: Miesfeld’s Triangle Market — A Legacy of Quality, Perfected with Pro Smoker

Nestled in Sheboygan, Wisconsin — a town often hailed as the Bratwurst Capital of the World  Miesfeld’s Triangle Market has been a household name for generations. Known for its rich history of craftsmanship, quality, and community, Miesfeld’s stands as a symbol of what happens when tradition meets innovation.

 

For Hollie Kroll, Wholesale Buyer at Miesfeld’s, the secret to their enduring success is simple: passion for product, commitment to consistency, and the right partners.

 

“We’re very famous for our brats, for our summer sausage, and for our snack sticks,” Hollie says proudly. “We have about 30 different flavors. Our custom blends have been consistently coming from PS Seasoning for many, many years. 

 

Beyond supplying custom blends, PS Seasoning works closely with Miesfeld’s to refine recipes and maintain consistency across product lines — ensuring that every flavor, from their signature bratwurst to their specialty snack sticks, performs perfectly in their 1100 4 Truck Pro Smoker smokehouses. 

 

From a small local meat market to a state-of-the-art production facility, Miesfeld’s growth has been fueled by both creativity and precision. Their lineup has expanded to dozens of handcrafted flavors — each product made with the same attention to detail that earned them their loyal following. 

 

A Legacy of Craftsmanship Meets Modern Efficiency 

As demand grew, Miesfeld’s faced the challenge every legacy brand encounters: how to scale production without compromising quality. For a company built on generations of expertise, consistency was non-negotiable. 

 

That’s where Pro Smoker entered the story. 

 

“We have a couple of Pro Smoker multi-truck smokehouses and we make our cooked brats, summer sausage, snack sticks, and ring baloney,” Hollie explains. “We make our hams and our bacon in the smokehouses too!” 

 

With the addition of Pro Smoker’s multi-truck smokehouses and innovative pellet generators, Miesfeld’s was able to expand capacity while enhancing the signature flavor their customers expect. 

 

“We love the pellet generators,” Hollie says. “They’re so efficient. We don’t have any issues. They’re not as hands-on as what we were used to before. And they’ve been really great. They make our cook time go faster, less downtime, and our product consistency is better than ever.” 

 

For Miesfeld’s, the shift wasn’t just about upgrading equipment — it was about elevating their process. The pellet generators introduced a new level of reliability and control, allowing their team to focus on perfecting recipes and meeting growing demand. 

 

“When we moved to Pro Smoker, the customer service was amazing. They've always been so helpful. They've given us so many tips and training,” Hollie explained. 

 

Efficiency, Consistency, and Cost Savings 

Every producer knows that efficiency and consistency aren’t just buzzwords, they’re the backbone of profitability. With Pro Smoker’s advanced smoke generation technology, Miesfeld’s saw immediate benefits across the board. 

 

“The pellet generator definitely has helped cut back on costs,” Hollie notes. “I think that’s a huge benefit for consistency. We talk about that all the time. 

 

That consistency extends beyond equipment. PS Seasoning’s precision-blended formulations are designed to complement Pro Smoker’s performance, giving Miesfeld’s both technical and culinary reliability in every batch. 

 

Beyond reducing downtime and saving on labor, the consistent performance of the Pro Smoker systems combined with PS Seasonings has given Miesfeld’s team the peace of mind that whether it’s brats, summer sausage, or hickory-smoked bacon, it will meet their gold standard. 

 

“We love the pellet generators. That’s by far the biggest difference,” Hollie adds. “Our head of kitchen just raves about them, and just how much easier it makes his job.” 

 

Scaling Up Without Compromise 

When it comes to large-scale production, Miesfeld’s relies on precision and reliability at every step. Their multi-truck smokehouses handle high volumes daily, and Pro Smoker’s technology ensures the results are uniform from the first load to the last. 

 

When you have the multiple trucks, they’re quite large.” Hollie says. “Temperature control is so important. We need to make sure it works in the front of the smokehouse, in the middle of the smokehouse, wherever the product happens to be. And Pro Smoker has been great for that. We have a lot of consistency with our products.” 

 

This reliability has been a cornerstone of Miesfeld’s continued expansion. And as the company looks toward the future, they’re not slowing down. 

 

“We’re constantly growing, and we are looking at growing again and adding more smokehouses,” Hollie says with a smile. “So, it’s very exciting to see that growth and know that we can trust Pro Smokers to work.” 


The Result: A Tradition Reinforced by Innovation 

For Miesfeld’s, success has always been about more than production numbers. It’s about honoring a legacy; one built on craftsmanship, community, and flavor. By partnering with Pro Smoker and PS Seasoning, they’ve found a way to keep that legacy alive while preparing for the next generation of growth. 

 

Every brat, every stick, every sausage that leaves their smokehouse carries the unmistakable mark of Miesfeld’s quality that is backed by cutting-edge efficiency. 

 

“It keeps our quality where our quality needs to be,” Hollie says. “And that’s so important to us.” 

 

Together, Pro Smoker and PS Seasoning give Miesfeld’s the dual advantage of flavor mastery and operational excellence, a true partnership that keeps their legacy of craftsmanship thriving.
