Offset smoker on a stack of firewood Slicing smoked meat

One pit. One cord of hickory a week. No shortcuts.

Our 1,000-gallon smoker was welded from an old propane tank. We light it at 4am, and it runs six days a week.

The slaw, both sauces and the banana pudding are made by hand every morning. When something sells out, we say so on this site, so you never drive over for nothing.

"Best chopped pork this side of Lexington. I check the site at noon to see if brisket's still on, then I'm in the car."
