Why Wood Matters


Just like our commitment to sourcing local and sustainable ingredients, the wood we use plays a vital role in crafting that perfect California-style BBQ. Different woods impart unique flavors, and we’re here to guide you through the best options for your next BBQ feast.


Our Top Wood Picks:


1. Oak: 

   - Flavor: Balanced and mild smoke flavor.

   - Best with: Brisket, rotisserie chicken, and beef ribs. 

   - Oak is like that reliable friend who always has your back. It burns slowly, making sure your brisket is tender, juicy, and the star of the show!


2. Hickory: 

   - Flavor: Strong, smoky, and bacon-like.

   - Best with: Pulled pork, smoked Texas chili, and pork ribs.

   - Hickory is the life of the BBQ party! It brings bold, smoky vibes that make pork dance with joy. Warning: May cause spontaneous bacon cravings.


3. Applewood: 

   - Flavor: Sweet and mild with a fruity aroma.

   - Best with: BBQ tacos, chicken, and turkey.

   - Applewood is the sweet talker of the BBQ world. It whispers fruity goodness into your chicken, making it the belle of the BBQ ball.


4. Mesquite: 

   - Flavor: Intense, earthy, and slightly sweet.

   - Best with: Beef brisket, lamb, and game meats.

   - Mesquite is the wild child of the BBQ woods. It’s bold and daring, perfect for those who like their BBQ with a side of adventure. Use sparingly, unless you’re feeling extra wild!
