Whole smoked Alberta beef brisket sliced on a wooden cutting board

Smoked in Alberta · Shipped within Canada

Smoked meat online in Canada

This is real Back Forty barbecue: whole beef brisket and pulled pork, smoked low and slow in Athabasca, fully cooked, vacuum sealed, frozen, and packed for the trip to your table.

Barbecue without the overnight cook

We do the smoking. You bring it back to the table.

A proper brisket takes time, judgement, and an unreasonable amount of patience. We trim and season every packer brisket, then tend the smoker until the bark is set and the meat is ready. Our pork shoulders get the same treatment before they are pulled and packed with their juices.

Your order arrives fully cooked and frozen. Reheat it for a gathering, portion it for later, or put together the kind of barbecue spread that normally starts the night before. It is made by us, not pulled from a factory case and relabelled.

Canada-wide reach, food-safety first

From our smokers to your province

We serve customers looking for smoked meat online in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, the Prairies, Atlantic Canada, and the North. Your postal code determines whether frozen-meat delivery is available and what it costs.

Frozen meat leaves Athabasca on planned Tuesdays. At checkout, we only offer carrier services expected to arrive within two business days. If no qualifying service is available to your address, we will not accept a frozen-meat shipment that could spend too long in transit.

Every brisket and pork order is fully cooked, vacuum sealed, frozen, and packed in an insulated container with cold packs. Local pickup is also available at Grosmont Community Club near Athabasca.

Shipping & Reheating

Ordering smoked meat online

The practical details about Canadian delivery, frozen packaging, and reheating your Back Forty brisket or pork.

Do you ship smoked brisket and pulled pork across Canada?+

Yes. Our frozen smoked meats ship from Athabasca, Alberta within Canada only. For food safety and quality, we only ship frozen meat by two-business-day-or-faster service, and we send those orders on planned Tuesdays so they are not sitting in transit over a weekend.

How are the smoked meats packed for shipping?+

The brisket and pork are fully cooked, vacuum sealed, frozen, and packed in an insulated container with cold packs so they can travel safely.

Can seasonings ship with frozen meat?+

Yes. Up to six seasoning or sauce items can ride in the frozen meat box when ordered with brisket or pork. Seasoning-only orders can use standard shipping or available carrier options.

What is the best way to reheat a whole smoked brisket or pulled pork?+

Our preferred method is sous vide. If the vacuum seal is intact, place the sealed meat directly into a 165°F water bath and reheat for 4 to 6 hours, depending on size. Keep it fully submerged, then remove from the bag. Slice brisket against the grain; for pork, fluff or pull gently and serve.

What if I do not have sous vide?+

Use the oven method. Remove the meat from the packaging, place it in a roasting pan, add a small splash of beef broth, apple juice, or water if desired, cover tightly with foil, and reheat at 250°F. Check after about an hour and then every 20 minutes until the meat reaches 165°F.

What should I do if the vacuum seal is damaged?+

If the packaging is punctured or damaged, do not use the sous vide method. Remove the meat from the packaging and reheat using the covered oven method instead.

Is the brisket fully cooked?+

Yes. The brisket is trimmed, seasoned, smoked low and slow, fully cooked, vacuum sealed, and frozen. You are reheating it, not cooking it from raw.
