THE PRO SMOKER FAMILY

since 1977

A Legacy of Quality

Since 1977, we've been committed to providing innovative, high-quality smokehouse solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients.

Since the beginning, our focus on quality and service has been the cornerstone of our success. In 1986, we formed our sister company, PS Seasoning, to offer a complete range of products and services to the meat processing industry. Together, we're committed to delivering exceptional products and services that exceed our customers' expectations.

for 50 years

three-generations strong

Pro Smoker & PS Seasoning are proud to be a 3rd generation family-owned and operated company, still dedicated to the same quality and service that has been our cornerstone since the beginning.

Together, we offer the same quality of seasonings and equipment to butcher shops, grocery stores, and meat processors, as we do to our home pitmasters and cooks. When you choose Pro Smoker & PS Seasoning, you're joining our family.
