The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Jacobs Well stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
