Our Story

Ranch roots. Backyard smoker. One big black truck.

Bill grew up cooking for branding crews on a cattle ranch outside Elko, where dinner meant a fire pit, a cast-iron pot and a lot of patience. After twenty years of feeding friends, neighbors and every fundraiser that asked, he welded a 500-gallon offset smoker onto a trailer, painted a truck black and red, and hit the road.

Today the recipe hasn’t changed: local oak and a little juniper, a simple salt-and-pepper rub, and no shortcuts. Everything is smoked fresh every day and served until it’s gone.

Smoked fresh daily over real wood
Prime-grade brisket, never frozen
Sides and desserts made from scratch

Best brisket I’ve had outside of Texas, and I’ve driven a lot of miles looking. The bark is unreal.
