why folks keep coming back

Real fire. Real wood.
No shortcuts.

Most good things in life can't be rushed. BBQ is a perfect example. We burn oak, maple, and a heavy dose of hickory cut from our own woods in Strafford, and we let the smoker do the talking.

Hickory Smoked

Lang reverse-flow smokers, steady low heat, and hardwood from our family land. Bark you can hear, smoke rings you can see, and it's all naturally gluten-free.

Scratch-Made Sides

Collards braised four hours, cast-iron cornbread, Anson Mills cheesy grits, purple hull peas. The sides aren't an afterthought here. They're half the reason to come.

Live & Loud

A bluegrass jam every Wednesday night and live bands on the regular. Food, fire, and music under one roof, the way the Cecils have always done it.

this week at the smokehouse

Live music,
no cover, all belly.

Pickers, fiddlers, and string bands roll through all season long. Grab a plate of brisket, a hand-squeezed lemonade, and a seat close to the stage.

The Greatest Hits

Every BBQ comes with house pickles. Add two scratch-made sides to make it a plate.

Baby Back Ribs

½ lb 16

Dry rubbed and hickory smoked until the bark crackles and the bone lets go without a fight.

Pork butts with dark bark smoking over glowing coals

Sliced Brisket

½ lb 17

Prime brisket smoked low and slow over hickory, sliced to order with the smoke ring to prove it.

Racks of pickle-brined smoked chicken wings in the smoker

Smoked Wings

Pickle brined, hickory smoked, then flash fried to serve. Crisp outside, smoke all the way through.

the folks behind the fire

Two Cecils,
one smoker.

Mississippi raised him. New Hampshire keeps him. MrSippy BBQ is a father-and-son outfit, Cecil II and Cecil III, cooking the way their family always has: low, slow, and with somebody picking a guitar nearby.
