Built in New Middletown, Ohio

The individual behind C.C. Ironworks LLC

It started in a garage.

Long before the shop opened, owner Bob Pacella was building smokers in his garage and cooking whole pigs with friends. The very first pig cooker was an old steel drum built on a friend's farm — and rumor has it, it's still in use today.

What started as weekend parties and backyard BBQs grew into a passion for designing better, bigger and bolder equipment. Bob turned that passion into a full-time business: C.C. Ironworks, a commitment to quality, custom craftsmanship and American-made steel.

Today C.C. Ironworks is not only a full smoke shop but a full job shop as well — custom fabrication and welding jobs big and small.
