Rocket Ribs and BBQ

Just in time for Halloween…

A tale in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe—with a barbecue twist.

Elias Grayson thinks he has found the opportunity of a lifetime: an abandoned barbecue restaurant he can restore and make his own.
But the townspeople don’t like talking about The Smoldering Pit.
And there is something about the old smoker that doesn’t feel quite right.

The Embers Hunger
A macabre short story by the award winning author Rees Walther.
Some fires are better left cold.

☕ Some of life’s sweetest moments happen over a cup of coffee.

Sitting on the porch, sharing stories, reminiscing about the good old days, and making a few new memories along the way. ❤️

That’s what makes a cup of coffee more than just coffee.

At Rocket Smoked Coffee, we believe every sip should be something special.
🚀☕

“Sip something special”. Make a moment of it.
