Owner Jim Graddy spent his summers working on his uncle’s Machester,Georgia hog farm and grew up learning the ways of pit-cooked pork. He cooks his pork about 14 to 16 hours at a temperature between 200 and 300 degrees. The ribs are St. Louis cut with pink smoke ring. All the meats here are served naked without sauce as Mr. Graddy feels his barbecue should be able to stand on its own so the true flavor of the meat comes through. They offer tasty homemade BBQ sauces on the tables and their barbecue is served accompanied with a slice of thick white bread to mop it up.
