BBQ tips

  • We use hickory wood for everything we do. Traditionally, smoked foods are smoked with wood that is plentiful in the local area. Hence, we use hickory.
  • Control your temperature, use lots of smoke, and have a good meat thermometer.
  • Apply your favorite rub before you smoke. Keep it simple with salt & pepper or have fun and add your favorite seasonings. There are no rules. A barbeque competition secret is to sprinkle your rub on right before you serve your meat. 
  • We use a mop (vinegar, rub, sugar, etc.) for our ribs to baste them right before we pull them out.
  • Put your mop in a spray bottle and mist everything before you serve.
