From Texas Hill Country to Your Pit

Texas Hill Country Ranch / Oak Grove

The Heart of Texas BBQ

In the rolling hills of Texas Hill Country, generations of ranchers have understood something fundamental: the best BBQ starts with the best wood. Post oak has been the backbone of Texas BBQ since the early 1800s, when cattle ranchers in Central Texas first discovered its perfect burning characteristics.

The name “post oak” itself tells a story. Ranchers used these sturdy trees to build fence posts that would last for decades. The leftover wood fueled their campfires and, eventually, the legendary BBQ pits of Lockhart, Taylor, and beyond.

Kiln Drying Facility

Our Commitment to Quality

We source our post oak exclusively from Texas Hill Country ranches, working directly with landowners who practice sustainable forestry. Every tree we use is hand-selected, properly seasoned for 6-12 months, and then kiln-dried to meet USDA interstate shipping requirements.

Our kiln-drying process does more than just meet regulations—it ensures you receive wood that's ready to burn the moment it arrives. At 15% moisture content or less, our post oak lights easily, burns clean, and delivers that authentic Central Texas flavor without the bitter smoke that comes from green or improperly seasoned wood.

“Real Texas BBQ isn't about shortcuts. It's about doing things right—the same way they've been done in the Hill Country for over 150 years.”
