Welcome To Smokin' Oak Barbecue
We want to share our passion for low and slow barbecue with you
Why Smokin’ Oak?
Well for starters, oak’s a classic wood for firing up the smoker. It brings out that beautiful barbecue flavour we all love. But more than that, the mighty oak tree’s actually part of our family crest. So you could say barbecuing’s in our blood. Feels like we were always meant to do this!
