Even though our 100% wood smokers operate at full capacity, the smoking process is done low and slow (at a low temperature for a long period of time). It takes between 6 to 14 hours to finish the cooking process so we have a limited capacity to serve our menu fresh everyday. 

For us, it means more like a culture that revolves around fire. It means using 100% wood and mainly salt and pepper to season our meats. The meats are commonly cooked at an offset propane tank-shaped pit.

The main difference is the intramuscular fat (marbling) of the beef. Wagyu brisket has a higher score with 6-8 BMS (Beef Marbling Score), while Prime brisket has 4-5 BMS.

American Wagyu is the combination of the exceptional intramuscular marbling of purebred Japanese Wagyu and the intense beefiness of traditional American cattle. It comes from Snake River Farms, who control the entire supply chain from the ranches to their humane processing facility.

For Prime Brisket we use Certified Black Angus Beef from Creekstone Farms. Creekstone combines superior Black Angus genetics, high-quality feeding and  humane animal treatment. This translates in a higher amount of marbling than other Prime Briskets, and an exceptionally tender, juicy flavor.

We use propane tank shaped offset smokers that use 100% wood. There is no presence or assistance of gas or electricity. The smoker is guided by the right combination between convective and radiant heat but more importantly, the intense fire management that an experienced pit crew puts into it.

Online pre-orders are available for both smokehouses. Ordering opens at 11am the day before your pickup and closes at 10:59am on the day itself. For example, if you're planning to enjoy our barbecue on Thursday, you can place your order online after 11am on Wednesday. However, for the best experience and to guarantee your favorites, arriving early at either location is the perfect strategy!

Our cut off time for same day online orders is 11am. After 11am we will be more than happy to take your order in store.
