OUR STORY
MEET DR. SMOKE
Dr. Nour Nona’s barbecue story started with a cook that went completely wrong. The chicken was burned on the outside, raw on the inside, and nowhere close to what he had hoped for. But instead of putting the grill away, he wanted to know why.
With a background in mathematics and education, Dr. Nona naturally approached barbecue as a problem to solve. Every cook became a chance to test an idea, study the result, make an adjustment, and try again. That methodical approach eventually earned him the nickname Dr. Smoke.
From there, he began experimenting more seriously with smokers, fire, temperature, timing, seasoning, and technique. As the barbecue improved, he started developing his own sauces to complement the food coming off the smoker, using the same process of testing, refining, and improving each recipe.
Kitchen messes and tape labels
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
This is where the sauce lineup really began. Early test batches, handwritten labels, and a lot of experimenting in the kitchen.
From here, each flavor went through multiple runs, side by side taste tests, adjustments, and retesting. Recipes were changed little by little until the sweetness, heat, smoke, and overall balance were exactly where they needed to be.
What started as four test bottles eventually became the foundation for the Dr. Smoke BBQ Lab sauce lineup.
