Smoked Holiday Hams
Reserve yours today
Sweet, savory, and glazed to perfection with our mustard molasses glaze, this bone-in half ham is what holiday dinners were made for. Each one averages about 8 pounds, big enough to feed the family and still have leftovers for a midnight sandwich.
Available to reserve for pick up between December 14th–24th.
We only make a limited number each year, so once they’re gone, they’re gone. Reserve yours today by giving us a call.
Share Real Smoked BBQ
Our BBQ gift cards are the easiest way to share what folks really want, a plate piled high with the good stuff. Brisket, ribs, mac and cheese, and maybe that Chocolate Dream Cookie if they are lucky. Grab a card in store or online and spread a little BBQ joy this season. Because good food shared with good people never goes out of style.
