Grass-fed beef · Hardwood smoked · No seed oils
low & slow over oak and hickory
USDA Prime, grass-fed brisket meets real Mexican flavor — smoked low and slow over oak and hickory, and clean enough to feel good about. Posted up in Ortonville, smoked fresh every weekend until we sell out.
Why clean BBQ
A grown-up twist on the comfort food you love — total transparency in every bite.
USDA Prime and organic grass-fed beef, partnered directly with local Michigan farms.
Clean, healing seasonings — turmeric, fresh garlic, sea salt — built on barbacoa tradition.
Smoked low and slow over additive-free hardwood for a pure, gut-friendly Texas flavor.
No seed oils, no shortcuts, nothing you can't pronounce. Just meat, smoke, and spice.
The craft
Every brisket gets a black-pepper bark, fourteen patient hours over additive-free oak and hickory, and a butcher-paper wrap — the same way it's done in the Hill Country. The only thing we changed is what goes in: nothing we wouldn't feed our own family.
Every bite is rich, tender, and I know exactly what's in it. The only BBQ I recommend.
