At Po’Richard’s Place, nestled atop Ponderous Ridge, we live for the art of smoking meats and crafting the sauces and rubs that bring out their boldest flavors. This isn’t just a business—it’s our passion, honed over decades of perfecting the craft.
Smoking meat is a labor of love. It takes patience, skill, and a keen eye for pairing the right wood with the right cut—whether it’s brisket, pork shoulder, or fish. We’re sticklers for getting it just right, controlling the temperature and timing to deliver that deep, smoky perfection every time. For us, smoked flavor is king, and our pitmaster stands firm: big cuts like brisket and Boston butts shine best when smoked pure, with nothing added until they’re pulled from the fire. After a long, slow smoke—10 to 13 hours for larger cuts—and a well-deserved rest of at least an hour, that’s when the magic of our sauces and rubs comes into play.
From our test kitchen on Ponderous Ridge, we’ve created a lineup of mouthwatering rubs and sauces that amplify the smoky goodness of every meat we touch. But here’s the kicker—they’re not just for the smoker. These flavors have proven their worth in the kitchen too, starring in recipes you’ll find on our website. It all started over 40 years ago with our Original Flavoring Sauce—a family-and-friends favorite that’s now ready for your table. Since then, we’ve built a collection of sauces and rubs that carry the same soul and tradition.
We’re excited to share Po’Richard’s with you—starting with our time-tested Original Flavoring Sauce and extending to the full range of products we’ve perfected over the years. Elevate your smoker game, spice up your grill, or bring some smoky swagger to your kitchen. Hungry for inspiration? Swing by our recipe page and try dishes crafted with our goods.
