WHAT WE DO.

Every day, we put over 1,200 pounds of premium beef, pork, and poultry in our eight custom-built smokers and let the smoke and heat slowly transform them. Great barbecue doesn’t require a lot of fuss, but it does require patience and time—about 6 hours for ribs, 10 hours for pork shoulders and anywhere from 12 to 14 for our brisket, to be more exact.

It’s worth the wait. Fair warning, though: when the meat’s out, it’s out.

BARBECUE WITH A STORY.

In North Carolina, barbecue is as much as a part of life as flowering dogwoods, and ACC basketball. From the mountains to the coast, roadside barbecue joints and iconic smokestacks are hard to miss (if you look in the right places). At Noble Smoke, we honor the "Legends of Barbecue" who paved the way for us and others.

Those who created the celebrated tradition of smoking meats, from Carolina all the way to Texas.
