Smoke Shack® Snacks

A small Upstate NY kitchen making handcrafted smoked specialty snacks.

We have a great set of products, with non traditional smoked meat snacks and smoked nuts, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds. Our products are wood smoked, all natural, no nitrates, and many also gluten free.

This is the story of what happens when a geek gets a hold of some spice.

I’m a tinkerer by nature. More interested in the how than the what.

It started when my kids bought a smoker for Christmas a few years back. I did the usuals at first ribs, brisket, wings, pork butt. (One can only eat so much pork butt.) I soon moved on to jerky; never was a fan of the fake smoke, waxy finish of store-bought jerky and figured I could do it better. But I soon found that pre-made spices weren’t authentic and the recipes were boring.

So I did what any true geek would do. I made my own recipes.

Before long, I was developing my own flavors based on different cultural foods. I’d get inspiration from cuisines I love, like Asian, African, Indian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern, and then develop unique, non-traditional flavor profiles for my smoked meat snacks, then I started to experiment with smoking other non meat products.

And thus, Smoke Shack Snacks was born. Or, rather, smoked.All natural. Handcra
