What makes Smoke & Barrel barbecue different?

It starts long before the meat hits the smoker.

We grind our own blend of herbs and spices because we want control over every layer of flavor. Then we smoke our meats the old fashioned way on our barrel smokers using real wild Michigan cherry wood. No pellets. No electric shortcuts. Just fire, smoke, time, and a whole lot of attention.

Our prime brisket is cooked low and slow until it’s incredibly tender, with that deep cherrywood smoke you simply can’t fake.

We make our sides in house, develop our own recipes, and put the same care into the little details most people never see.

That’s Smoke & Barrel.

Real wood. Real smoke. Real barbecue.

Find us today at Sandy’s Harley Davidson in Fremont, Michigan until 6 PM.

Our next weekend back at Sandy’s will be October 9 and 10. Until then, you can find Smoke & Barrel at Bush’s Apples in New Era, Michigan.
