Wood-smoked BBQ·Northern Virginia
Ribs, brisket, and pulled pork - smoked low and slow over real hardwood. Call ahead or stop by, and we'll have a plate ready.
How we smoke
Hardwood, not gas. The fire is the flavor, and we tend it by hand.
A slow drift of wood smoke does the seasoning. No shortcuts, no liquid smoke.
Cooked at a low temperature until the meat is tender enough to fall apart.
