🥩🔥 The man and his meat. 🔥🥩

If you’ve ever wondered why our brisket keeps people coming back, here’s the bloke behind it.

Simon doing what he loves - slicing up another perfectly smoked brisket at an offsite event. After hours in the smoker, it’s got that perfect bark, a beautiful smoke ring and all the juicy goodness you’d expect from authentic low and slow BBQ.

From weddings and corporate functions to birthdays and backyard celebrations, we’ll bring the Smoke experience to you.

Now that’s some seriously good meat. 🤠🔥

Nice one Simon

Made in-house. Smoked low & slow. Packed with flavour.

Our Pitmaster doesn’t mess around!

These are our house-made Jalapeño, Brisket & Cheese sausages – loaded with smoked brisket, melted cheese and just the right kick of jalapeño. Every bite is bursting with smoky BBQ goodness.

You’ll find these beauties on our famous Roadhouse Tray, made right here at Smoke Ashburton.

If you’re serious about authentic BBQ, this is the kind of goodness you won’t find just anywhere.

Who’s keen to sink their teeth into one? 🤤🌭🔥

The pits are pumping today!

Our smokers are loaded up with brisket, pork ribs and pork belly and the smell coming off them is something else.

Ben’s been hard at work giving the meats their regular spritz to keep them beautifully moist while that low-and-slow magic happens. It’s all part of the process that turns good BBQ into GREAT BBQ. 💨🔥

If you’ve been craving authentic wood-fired BBQ, come see us Wednesday from 4pm to get your fix.
