Authentic Kiawe-Smoked barbecue
The Carbon Footprint serves kiawe-smoked brisket, pork ribs, pork belly, pulled pork, and salmon across Oahu in the State of Hawaii.
What type of BBQ do we offer?
Let’s just say that we’re inspired by all of America’s great barbecue traditions, but we’ve created something that’s one-of-a-kind. We’re definitely not Hawaiian BBQ, that’s for sure! We’ve invented flavor profiles and smoking techniques that are uniquely ours, but more in line with Texas (yet we’re not, as we don’t use as much black pepper as they do.)
We are technically pitmasters, but “flavor engineers” feels more accurate as we don’t just smoke meat – we study fire, use smoke as an ingredient, and obsess over texture until every bite hits the way it should. Pyromaniacs with taste buds?
We’re different, good, and fun (had to throw that in there).
So, if you’re searching for the best barbecue in Hawaii, we’d be honored to be part of that conversation.
WHAT’S ON OUR MENU
Making good barbecue is one tough cookie. Ordering shouldn’t be! We like to keep it real simple and easy here.
JUST SCROLL TO THE RIGHT TO SEE WHAT’S SMOKING
Smoked Brisket
Smoked for 16-hours with kiawe wood on our commercial standard offset smoker. Balanced with the right amount ofsmoke, salt, and pepper.
$35/lb
Pulled Pork / Kalua Pig
Our pulled pork blends traditional Hawaiian techniques with tested southern barbecue methods to create something very unique and sure to please
$25/lb
Pork Belly
Locals love their pork belly. We like to call it bacon brisket as we cook almost the same way as brisket, with almost the same seasoning, and with the same wood – kiawe.
$30/lb
St. Louis Pork Ribs
St. Louis ribs are meaty, juicy, and overall, a much better bite than baby back ribs. You don’t need much to fill you up. They go great with sports.
$30/lb
Beef Ribs
Customers ask us, “What’s your favorite BBQ?” and without hesitation, we answer, “Beef Ribs.” They are best eaten caveman style, with your hands.
$40/lb
Smoked Salmon
Most barbecue joints don’t smoke salmon. And if they do, they use alder, cedar, or maple wood. We use kiawe, smoke it to a medium rare, it’s rather unique.
$30/lb
Everything BBQ Sauce
Our barbecue sauce goes good with everything – well, except ice cream. Created by accident, we stumbled upon this concoction by luck. Some customers call it their utility sauce.
$5 per bottle
