Low & slow by choice. Fire, wood, time, and a pit worth standing beside.
From Kawartha Lakes. Rooted in farm country and made for the long table.
Sweet Whiskey Heat. Small-batch sauce with a real story behind it.
We're Back 40 — a mobile smokehouse out of Kawartha Lakes with a 100-acre farm in Bobcaygeon. We smoke our BBQ low and slow over wood, and we make our own hot sauces, fermenting fresh peppers for weeks before blending them with Canadian whisky and wild honey.
From our smokehouse to your catering table, we bring the whole Back 40 experience to your event — wood-fired BBQ, hand-crafted sauces, and a little bit of country.
