Smoked Meats
There’s something undeniably timeless about smoked meats. From their rich, bold flavour to their rustic aroma and long-lasting freshness, they offer a sensory experience that feels rooted in tradition yet remains relevant in today’s fast-paced world. Whether you’re enjoying a handful of beef jerky on the road or presenting a gourmet meat box as a gift, smoked meats are more than a snack - they’re a celebration of craft, heritage, and taste.
What Makes Smoked Meats Special?
Unlike conventional cooked or cured meats, smoked meats are prepared using the ancient technique of wood smoking, where meat is slow-cooked over burning hardwoods. This low and slow approach infuses the meat with a depth of flavour that simply can’t be replicated by other methods. The result? A complex, savoury profile that lingers with every bite.
At Brickhouse, the process is as much about patience as it is about precision. Every cut is selected for quality, every seasoning blend is house-developed, and the smoke is always natural - never rushed, never artificial. The method transforms simple cuts into something exceptional.
The Rise of Artisan Smoked Meats
Today’s consumer is more informed than ever. There’s a growing demand for transparency, quality, and small-batch production. Artisan smoked meats have risen in popularity precisely because they check all these boxes.
At Brickhouse, we’re proud to be part of this shift. Our products are handcrafted in limited batches to ensure consistency, authenticity, and that signature Brickhouse flavour. Each piece of jerky or sausage tells a story - not only of the meat itself, but of the dedication behind it.
The Rise of Artisan Smoked Meats
What sets smoked meats apart isn’t just the technique, but the taste. Depending on the wood used - maple, hickory, oak - each batch takes on unique notes. Add a blend of premium spices or a touch of sweetness, and you’ve got layers of flavour that keep your palate engaged.
Brickhouse’s beef jerky range, for example, includes both bold peppered and subtly sweet variations. There’s a richness to each piece that’s hard to find in mass-produced options. Our sausages, meanwhile, are firm, satisfying, and deeply infused with natural wood smoke, making them perfect for snacking or serving at gatherings.
Why Smoked Meats Belong in Everyday Life
It’s not just about indulgence. Smoked meats offer practical advantages too. Their long shelf life, high protein content, and portability make them ideal for busy lifestyles. Whether you’re fueling up for a hike, keeping energy levels steady on a road trip, or reaching for a satisfying midday snack, smoked meats deliver on both taste and function.
They also suit a range of diets and preferences. Our jerky is made with clean, recognisable ingredients, free from artificial preservatives or excessive sugars. It’s a snack you can feel good about, without compromising on flavour.
Food Pairings That Elevate the Experience
Pairing smoked meats with complementary items enhances their complexity. Think artisanal cheeses, crusty bread, fresh fruit, or even a glass of red wine or craft beer. The saltiness and umami of the meat balances beautifully with the tang or richness of other ingredients.
For gatherings, smoked sausage platters and jerky boards make for standout appetisers. Add pickles, nuts, or local honey to build a charcuterie experience that’s truly memorable.
Quality Matters: What to Look For
When shopping for smoked meats, quality should be your top priority. Look for small-batch production, transparency in ingredients, and a clear commitment to traditional methods. At Brickhouse, we go the extra mile to ensure every product meets these standards.
We only use high-quality cuts, real wood smoke, and in-house spice blends. Our focus is on crafting flavour-forward meats that stay true to their roots, without cutting corners or relying on additives.

Sustainability is a growing concern in the food industry, and rightly so. At Brickhouse, we make sourcing decisions that reflect our values - choosing farms and suppliers with traceable, ethical practices. Our aim is to support responsible agriculture while delivering outstanding taste.
By supporting small-scale producers and focusing on traditional methods, we reduce our environmental impact and create products our customers can trust.
