We're bringing you the Smoke & Soul
from the heart
Welcome to Smith's Smokeshack & Kitchen!
Smith’s Smokeshack began as a humble backyard side hustle in 2012, originally known as "htimsmith BBQ". Fueled by a passion for craft barbecue and soulful flavors, founder H Tim Smith took the leap in 2021 to live one of his dreams, launching a full-time food truck. Over the next three unforgettable years, we served 1000s of people across the Capital District, from Albany to Lake George, a little taste of the Smoke & Soul From The Heart.
In the winter of 2024–2025, Tim passed the torch on the food truck to another dreamer to focus fully on the next chapter: bringing the heart and heat of Smith’s Smokeshack to kitchens everywhere through a bold new line of craft condiments.
Today, Smith’s Smokeshack is a flavor-forward CPG brand specializing in small-batch sauces with soul. Our flagship product, Soul Sauce #1, is a sweet, tangy BBQ sauce with a unique flavor profile —crafted to be mopped, dipped, or slathered on the grill, it will elevate your meals and your mood all day long, from breakfast to dinner -- an infinite amount of uses.
For those craving a deeper burn; crafted with intention and a touch of fire, Scorpion Soul Sauce blends smoky sweetness with the subtle sting of scorpion pepper—used mindfully to deliver a medium heat that hums instead of hollers. This isn’t heat for heat’s sake—it’s a warm, resonant spice that awakens the senses and stirs the spirit.
Rooted in authenticity and spiced with spirit, Smith’s Smokeshack now lives on in every bottle—bringing soulful flavor from our backyard to your table.
