Date of Event:<\/strong> 03\/24\/2026<\/p>

Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Chiasson Smoke, Boscobel, WI<\/p>

Number of Attendees:<\/strong> 19<\/p>

Presenter\/Notable Guest(s):\u00a0<\/strong>Jason Chiasson (Owner), Miranda Chiasson (Owner)<\/p>

Event Summary:\u00a0<\/strong>Our group toured Chiasson Smoke, a growing Metal Fabrication Business located in Boscobel, WI. They started from a small shop located adjacent to their home to expanding into a 21000 Sq Ft Building in the Industrial Park. The owners, Jason and Miranda Chiasson have a unique story of how they combined their desire to start and operate their own Welding and Fabrication business, and how they integrated telling their story via social media. Starting with a 4\u2019 x 4\u2019 Plasma Cutting Table, a small welder, they have expanded their business to selling their own standard products such as Rocket Stoves and Hauler Grills. They have replaced cut-off wheels with Automated Band Saws, Fiber Laser Cutting and Tube Laser Cutting Machines. A dinner and presentation from Jason and Miranda followed at a local restaurant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
