In Phoenix, the sun is a baseline. Out here, we don't just "cook"—we manage the frequency of the desert.
Alchemy & Smoke is about finding freedom within the structure. It’s about building a foundation so solid you can take a Texas tradition and forge a Sonoran Masterpiece.
Pictured: 16-hour Mesquite Smoked Brisket with our Sonoran Copper Rub. Tucked into a toasted brioche bun with our Honey Slaw and a heavy spread of Caramelized Onion & Serrano Jam

The Finisher: Our Sonoran Reaper BBQ Sauce. We take dried Reapers and soak them in premium barrel-aged wh***ey for fourteen days. We use the rehydrated chilies and the wh***ey drawn straight from the charred oak to create a sauce that doesn't just burn—it lingers.
Texas can keep their white bread and limp pickles. In Arizona, we take our brisket with sweet heat... and well, it’s Arizona. So we added more heat.

The fire is just the beginning. Follow along for the recipes, the food p**n, and the full Sonoran blueprint. Alchemy & Smoke: Sonoran Rooted BBQ—the cookbook—arriving late 2026. Stay tuned.

Life had other plans for the Fat Ox Rib and Wing King cook-off this weekend, but true dedication to the craft can't be deterred. I couldn't help myself—the smoker was calling. We took these wings through the full Sonoran Sequence: The Foundation: A heavy coat of our Sonoran Copper rub. The Smoke: Bathed in mesquite until the flavor was locked in. The Crisp: Hit them over the raw heat of lump charcoal to perfect the skin. The Alchemy: Tossed in Sonoran Reaper BBQ sauce for that sweet, lethal heat, then back over the open flame for a final kiss of char and caramelization. Check the background—those Beef Back Ribs are sporting that same Copper rub glow. Next year, we'll be back with a vengeance.

Barbecue humbles you.

Fire doesn’t care about ego.
Smoke doesn’t care about shortcuts.

You master the fundamentals.
You build discipline.
You repeat the process until it becomes who you are.

Pressure teaches control.
Heat teaches patience.

That’s the Phoenix path.

Alchemy & Smoke
Sonoran rooted BBQ.

Just a kid from Phoenix. 🔥

🔥 WHY THE OINK NOT 🔥
& Mak n Cheese

This one hits different. And that’s why it would definitely be a feature in the new cookbook.

A half-pound of slow-smoked pulled pork piled high on brioche…
House Honey Slaw for that cool crunch…
Finished with our Smoky Mountain Apple BBQ sauce dripping into every bite.

And on the side?

Mak n Cheese — named after our daughter Makenzie.
Golden. Creamy. Baked with that crispy top layer that makes you fight over the corner piece.

This plate is exactly why we cook.

Smoke.
Family.
Flavor with structure.
