REAL SMOKE.
NO SHORTCUTS.

OUR PROCESS

01

THE RUB

Salt, pepper, garlic, and our secret 11-spice blend applied 12 hours before the cook.

02

THE SMOKE

All-wood fire. No gas assist. We split our own logs from sustainably harvested Texas post oak.

03

THE REST

Every brisket rests for a minimum of 2 hours in a warm holding cabinet. Patience is the final ingredient.

CATERING

Feed your crew the real deal. We cater events from 20 to 500 people. Full-service or drop-off. Whole hogs, brisket by the flat, and sides by the gallon. Custom menus for weddings, corporate events, and backyard blowouts.
