This time of year, pumpkin spice gives way to pine as most folks want their home to smell like the holidays. But Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q wants brisket to be official scent of Christmas.

Because brisket. It’s what’s for Christmas.

The popular barbecue franchise born out of Leon Springs is offering up a limited-edition 16-ounce candle on its online store that promises to fill the air with the aromas of smoked brisket for $17.99.

According to the site, the idea for the candle started as an April Fools joke that actually had customers clamoring for the real deal. Rudy’s is selling a limited run of 1,000 candles, that are made with palm wax and infused with the scent of brisket.

And for customers that want the authentic brisket experience — you know, to chew on — they can order that, too, at shop.rudysbbq.com.
