USA BARBEQUE
SMOKER
At the heart of our kitchen is a traditional J&R smoker from Mesquite, Texas. We use exclusively beech wood and prepare our meat using the low & slow method – smoking it slowly at low temperatures, without taking shortcuts. No gas, no electricity. Just fire, smoke, time, and hard work.
WHAT WE DO
We make old-school American BBQ with a new-school approach. Brisket, ribs, smoked burgers, Al Pastor wings, house-made sausages, bacon, pastrami, sauces, and vegetarian and vegan specialties. We prioritize quality ingredients and make pretty much everything from scratch.
We've been part of countless festivals and catering events, from private celebrations to large-scale gatherings. Every summer, we hit the road for our BBQ tour, collaborate with independent craft breweries, and host tap takeovers with DJs and our regular birthday celebrations.
WHO WE ARE
Behind Hell Smoke BBQ are Sultan and a close-knit crew, later joined by Eduard. We started out in 2016 with our own food truck and smoker. Since 2022, we've called Prague's Malá Strana home.
We're independent and proud of what we've built. Beyond BBQ, we share a passion for music, contemporary art, and independent culture. The original posters displayed throughout the restaurant were created by Seerus (UMPRUM). Tomáš Motal (FU OU) has designed posters, labels for some of our house-made products, and merchandise. Tomáš Mitura (AVU) created our very first original poster and also contributed to our merchandise designs.
Behind the bar hangs a painting gifted to us by Filip Kůrka (AVU). The interior also features a bull skull and other specimens prepared by taxidermist Gabriela Hofmanová (FLD ČZU).
In the past, we hosted exhibitions in collaboration with Hidden Gallery, Kamil Princ, and other artists. Today, original posters, contemporary art, and music from DJs who regularly play at our venue remain a natural part of Hell Smoke.
Hell Smoke has never been just about food.
