Wise’s BBQ House

A Family Tradition

For many years, the Wise family has been cooking their special brand of BBQ for their friends and neighbors in Newberry, SC. And now, you can enjoy that special Wise taste at home, by cooking with Wise’s BBQ Sauce.

Wise BBQ is a bit of a conundrum. For a generation it operated as a cook-with-wood BBQ house and packed the locals in. Then, when Mr. Wise died and his sons took over, they converted the wood pits to gas and they still pack them in.

Indeed, the second generation of cookers at Wise doesn’t even baste their pork with a BBQ sauce as they cook it, but rather they first soak it in a brine solution and then cook it over gas at a high heat. What you get is more akin to roast pork that you then splash with their mustard sauce, if you wish. And the customers do wish since Wise has long since bottled it and sold it both over his counter and on the internet. The locals snap it up.
