The Boredom that Sparked a Brand

 

Holy Smoke Concepts was born in 2021 from equal parts passion and pandemic-induced boredom. Locked down at home in Texas, Rick decided to leverage his early career skills as a manufacturing engineer to turn a personal workshop into a laboratory for the perfect bourbon experience.

​

It started with a single prototype: a cocktail smoker built from a simple block of scrap wood with a hole drilled through it. But as any manufacturing engineer will tell you, a prototype is just the beginning. The workshop grew, the machinery became more advanced, and the designs were perfected until the smokers worked as remarkably as they looked.

​

The TikTok Spark

​

The turning point came when a video of that perfected smoker was posted on TikTok. Within days, the video amassed over half a million hits. When the call came in saying, "Dad... do you have a website for this thing?" a hobby officially morphed into a business. The rest, as they say, is history.

​
