Real BBQ.
Real Smoke.
Real Good.
Slow-smoked American BBQ with global flavors. Brisket, pulled pork, ribs — and rotating recipes from BBQ traditions around the world. Brought straight to your job site.
BBQ With a Purpose
Horner Iron & Ember was born from a simple idea: bring world-class BBQ to the people who work hardest — at prices that don't break the bank.
With a culinary degree and five years in the industry, I've learned that great food doesn't have to be expensive. It just has to be made with care, quality ingredients, and respect for tradition.
We're launching in Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming, serving construction crews and job sites. Because when you're building something great, you deserve a meal that's great too.
— Ty Horner, Founder
