THE CHIEF + HIS STORY
|
Luke Acker is Chief Fire Starter at FireWorks Barbecue.
Luke's interest in barbecue began when he married Mickey- a sixth-generation Texan. Mickey spoke fondly of the family barbecues she grew up with; meats smoked in the pit since the day before, old fashioned sides, fresh baked desserts and how everyone- young and old, gathered together for a large, buffet style meal. Intrigued, Luke tried his hand at smoking meat on a charcoal grill; however, it was after he was given a small offset smoker that things really began to change. Cooking over a live, wood fire felt natural to Luke and he soon found himself smoking meat and tending fires throughout the night- what a 20 pound beef brisket requires! |
The little smoker was quickly outgrown, so Luke built a 15 foot long traditional, offset smoker we named 'Betsy'- after Davy Crockett's favourite rifle. With 'Betsy', Luke unraveled the delicate balance between wood, fire and smoke that defines traditional Texas barbecue. We hosted barbecues regularly featuring Luke's smoked meats with Mickey's sides and desserts to willing family, friends and neighbours. Word about our tasty cookouts spread and the journey to share our Authentic Texas Barbecue began.
FireWorks Texas Barbeque is located in the little seaside village of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia!
