Great barbecue isn't something that can be rushed. The chefs at Can't Stop Smokin' BBQ take this to heart, practicing a low-and-slow cooking method that seals in juices and smoky flavors over the course of 3–13 hours. What results is seasoned, savory, tender brisket, pork ribs, and poultry that sing with flavor and need only a few brushes of tangy sauce to keep from feeling naked. From this bounty, guests pile pulled pork onto whole-wheat buns or chow down on smoked turkey drumsticks, garnishing their plates with classic sides such as German-mustard potato salad, jalapeno cornbread, homemade peach cobbler, and sweet baked beans.

Although Can't Stop Smokin' BBQ started in a simple New Mexico smokehouse, it has quickly followed the gentle flow of the barbecue-sauce rivers across the Southwest. Yet even as it treats dinner guests and catered banquets across the country to feasts, Can't Stop Smokin' turns an eye to local communities by helping with Monday night Fundraiser nights for groups dining of 10 or more.
