How the soul gets in

  1. 01

    The Rub

    Every cut gets seasoned properly before it goes anywhere near the fire.

  2. 02

    Low & Slow

    Into the smoker for the long haul, building bark, colour and deep smoky flavour.

  3. 03

    The Rest

    Patience. Resting keeps it juicy so every bite is tender.

  4. 04

    On Your Plate

    Sliced, sauced and served hot. Good smoke, good company, good times.
