The reddish color of our smoked specialties is a result of the cooking process. Our pork butts and beef brisket are smoked for fourteen hours and our ribs, chicken and pork steaks for more than five hours. This slow cooking method in our wood pit smoker results in what is known as a smoke ring. All our meats are cooked without sauce and seasoned with our own very special dry rub.
