Family-owned smokehouse in Show Low, AZ
The story behind Smoke & Ember
We’re a neighborhood grill and smokehouse built around slow smoke, honest ingredients, and the kind of hospitality that feels like home.
Our roots
From backyard smoke to a local favorite
Smoke & Ember started the way great BBQ usually does: with a pit, a little patience, and a lot of love for feeding people. Today, we bring that same all-day smoke to every brisket, rib, and chicken—plus grill favorites and house-made sauces that keep things bold, balanced, and craveable.
What we believe
Slow-smoked, made in-house, served with heart
Our mission is simple: serve BBQ we’re proud of—smoked low and slow, finished with care, and paired with sides and sauces made in our kitchen.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, settling in for dinner, or feeding a crowd, we focus on consistency, generous portions, and a warm welcome every time.
