Our Fire, Our Craft
Founded by lifelong pitmaster Avery Cole, Ember & Oak celebrates the ritual of fire. We smoke over local oak & applewood, sour our rubs in-house, and source seasonal produce from nearby farms.
Private events, chef's tables, and catering available. Ask about our monthly smoke nights and whiskey pairing dinners.
