Signature Experience

Whole Hog Barbecue.

A whole hog, smoked low and slow over live coals for twelve-plus hours — seasoned, mopped, and carved in front of your guests. It's the most theatrical, most communal thing we do, and the centerpiece of a Matt Horn BBQ live-fire event.

Pulled from the smoker

Twelve hours over live coals.

The Rub

The Rub

Hand-applied spice layered hot and thick onto a whole hog before the smoke — the foundation of bark and color.

The Mop

The Mop

Vinegar mop basted through the long cook, keeping the meat moist while the bark sets into deep mahogany.
