Glowing coals in the fire pit
The Pit

Fourteen hours in the dark.

Every cook starts the night before. Oak and fruitwood in a big American offset, meat on at midnight, and fourteen patient hours of smoke before service. No gas, no shortcuts, no warming trays. Just fire, iron and time.

What comes off the pit

The Meat

Slicing a smoked beef brisket with a deep black bark

14-Hour Brisket

Salt, black pepper and oak smoke. Sliced to order, bark like a campfire.

Racks of St Louis ribs on the smoker, wreathed in smoke

St Louis Ribs

Glazed over the coals until they just give. Sticky, smoky, gone in seconds.

Steaming pulled pork piled on a wooden board

Pulled Pork Shoulder

Overnight in the smoker, pulled by hand, piled into brioche with burnt-end beans.

Meat searing over open flame on the grill at night

Over the Coals
