Our Story
Real Smoke. Real Texas Style.
Smokestacks Traditional BBQ is a family-run, award-winning Texas-style BBQ truck serving Northwest Ohio from our home base in Pandora, OH — and traveling wherever your wedding, event, or company celebration takes us.
What started as a self-taught passion for cooking with fire has grown into something we love sharing with others. For us, great BBQ is about the craft. It’s the long hours tending fires, controlling temperatures, watching the smoke, and giving every piece of meat the time and attention it deserves. It’s a process that takes patience and dedication, and it’s something we’re proud to do the traditional way.
Everything is slow-smoked with real wood, real fire, and real time. Brisket with a deep, flavorful bark, tender spare ribs, melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork, scratch-made sauces, and all the classic sides that make a plate unforgettable. No shortcuts — just BBQ we’re proud to put our name on and even more proud to share with you.
