Smoked Marrow Bones
There’s something almost ancient—almost primal—about smoked marrow bones. Before there were sauces, rubs, or even grills, there was fire, bone, and fat. And today, we bring that beautiful simplicity back to life.
Our Smoked Marrow Bones recipe is a celebration of rich, buttery marrow kissed by slow, gentle smoke. It’s decadent, unfiltered flavor—served straight from the bone or spread warm across grilled sourdough with a pinch of sea salt. The marrow melts like beef butter, infused with wood-fired complexity that only a smoker can bring.
Whether you're serving it as an appetizer, an indulgent side, or the foundation for something greater—like a smoked bone broth or BBQ sauce starter—this is a recipe that reminds us: sometimes, the most beautiful barbecue moments come from the most humble ingredients.
Simple. Smoked. Sublime.

BBQ Beautiful “Black Gold” Cured and Smoked Pastrami
Our BBQ Beautiful “Black Gold” Cured and Smoked Pastrami starts with a classic brisket cut, deeply infused with a cure that balances dark spices, cracked coriander, smoked paprika, and a subtle kiss of brown sugar. After a slow, cold cure and a long, low smoke, what emerges is nothing short of majestic—tender slices with a bark so black and glistening, it’s earned the name Black Gold.
