I started smoking meat at home, letting the smoke roll while the slow jams played. I began sharing my food online and before long, friends, family and complete strangers were asking, “When can I place an order?” One plate, one post, and one smoke session at a time, Big Charlie’s Smokehouse was born. Today, I’m still doing it the same way I started - with real smoke, good music and food for which I’m proud to stamp my name.

A smokehouse and/or bbq caterer specializes in preparing flavorful meats using time-honored techniques such as low & slow smoking, grilling, roasting and searing. We bring that same dedication to every gathering, from intimate family celebrations to large-scale events. At Big Charlie’s Smokehouse, we focus on what matters most: bold flavor, tender texture, quality presentation and safe food handling. All while delivering the unmistakable taste of real smoke. Slow Jams. Slow Smoke. Real Smoke. ### Why does smoking food take so much time? THE ART OF SMOKING Smoking is a time-honored cooking technique that transforms quality cuts of meat through low, steady heat and flavorful wood smoke. Over time, the smoke infuses each cut with depth and character while the gentle cooking process helps develop the tender, juicy texture great barbecue is known for. It’s a process that can’t be rushed. Temperature, moisture, wood, and the cut of meat all play a role in the final result. That’s why great barbecue requires patience, precision, and constant attention from the smoker to the finished plate. At Big Charlie’s Smokehouse, we let the smoke do the talking. ### What kinds of food can be prepared with smoking techniques? MORE THAN JUST MEAT Smoking isn’t limited to just meat. The right techniques can bring incredible flavor to poultry, seafood, vegetables, and classic side dishes as well. At Big Charlie’s Smokehouse, we match the cooking method, seasonings, smoke and flavors to each ingredient, creating a menu that’s as versatile as it is flavorful. Whether you’re planning a backyard gathering, private celebration or catered event, we’ll help create a spread that fits the food, the occasion and your guests.
