Our Story

Rooted in Summit.

For generations, King's Packing Company has stood on the country roads of Summit, Mississippi as a beacon for authentic Southern smokehouse flavor. What began as a local packing operation became a regional legend thanks to one recipe: Ma Bell's Smoked Sausage.

From deer hunters stopping in with coolers to families driving hours across state lines from Louisiana and beyond, folks know that real smoke cannot be rushed. We select quality coarse-ground pork, season it with a recipe passed down through the family, and smoke every link over real hardwoods until the casings reach that deep mahogany sheen.

Real Hardwood Smoke

No artificial liquid smoke or chemical shortcuts. Pure hardwood embers slowly season and cure every link to perfection.

Mild & Hot Recipes

Choose our savory everyday Mild or the bolder red-pepper Hot. Both offer incredible casing snap and hearty pork flavor.

Shipped Fresh Nationwide

Our Process & Culinary Guide

How to Cook & Enjoy Ma Bell's

Ma Bell's is fully smoked and ready to heat, slice, or grill. Here are the smokehouse-recommended ways to bring out its best flavor:

Cast Iron & Skillet

Slice on the bias and sear in a hot skillet for 5-7 minutes until the edges caramelize with a deep smoke bark.

Gumbos & Red Beans

Brown slightly, then simmer directly into your pot. The rich hardwood seasoning infuses the beans and broth.

On the Grill

Grill whole links over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning once to crisp the natural casing to a satisfying snap.

Freezer Stocking

Our vacuum-sealed packs freeze exceptionally well for up to 12 months with no loss of smokehouse flavor or texture.
