Hickory Wood Makes the Tastiest Smoked Meats

Smoking meats is described as "the process of flavoring, cooking, or preserving food by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering material, most often wood."  That makes it sound complicated, but the best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines knows all about this delicious process.  On any given day you will find a big, mouth-watering batch of meats being smoked right here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse.

People have been smoking meats as far back as the time of primitive cavemen. Meat was often hung up to dry to make it last longer, but they began noticing that the meat hung in areas where it was exposed to smoke had a better flavor, was better preserved, and a lot less dried out.  An amazing new taste was born! 

Today there is less need to preserve food since modern-day appliances allow us to keep it fresh and it is readily available in every grocery store and restaurant. Now smoking is less about preserving the meat and more about the unique and incredible flavor that the process provides.  


A variety of things can be used to smoke with, but wood seems to produce the tastiest meats.  There are also a lot of different woods that can be used:  mesquite, alder, oak, pecan, maple... but Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is partial to hickory.    


Hickory has a very rich and full-bodied flavor that complements every meat that we serve.  This isn't necessarily a wood for beginners to start out with.  It is a strong flavor that can sometimes be overwhelming when used alone, but we're not beginners!  Our cooks know exactly how low and slow to smoke our meats so that they come out perfectly every time.  They start out by generously coating the meats with our special dry rub, then finish it off with our incredible house-recipe sauce.  

We not only love eating hickory-smoked meat here, but we love smoking just about every piece of meat we get our hands on.  This is a special treat that most people don't take the time to perfect on their own at home.  Your choices include:
