Ribs are the one thing on the serving line nobody tries to eat politely. πŸ–πŸ˜„

Forks and knives just get in the way. You pick up a bone, bite into that smoky, tender meat with its sticky glaze, and before long your fingers are telling the whole story. It's a big part of why ribs fit so well at backyard parties, family reunions, and tailgates across the Upstate. πŸ”₯

We'll bring the ribs and the smoke. You might want to keep a few extra napkins handy. Are you the type who cleans every bone, or do you save the best rib for last? πŸ™Œ

Ever wonder why pulled pork comes from the shoulder and not some leaner cut? πŸ–πŸ€”

The pork shoulder is a hardworking muscle, full of marbling and connective tissue. Cook it fast and it would be tough, but give it a long, slow ride in the smoke and all that fat and tissue melts down, basting the meat from the inside until it's tender enough to pull apart by hand. That's how you get juicy strands of pork wrapped in dark bark. πŸ”₯

It's the cut that rewards patience, and that's exactly why it's our signature. When you fix a plate of pulled pork, do you go straight for the bark or the tender middle pieces first? πŸ˜‹

October in the Upstate is made for gathering outside while the evenings are still mild. πŸ‚πŸŽƒ

Harvest parties, fall festivals, trunk-or-treat nights at church, and backyard get-togethers around the fire pit all have one thing in common: a crowd that's going to get hungry. S*M Barbecue brings the pit to your place with pulled pork, ribs, and brisket, plus sides like baked beans and macaroni and cheese that feel right at home on a cool fall night. πŸ”₯πŸ–

Fall weekends tend to fill up, so reaching out early gives you the best shot at the date you want. What's the fall gathering your family looks forward to most every year? 🍁

Running a pit is a whole lot easier with a partner standing right beside it. πŸ”₯🀝

S*M Barbecue is a family business that pitmasters John Stone and Ronald Moxley started back in 2020. Two pitmasters means two sets of eyes on the fire and two sets of hands on the pork shoulders, ribs, and brisket, with somebody always close by to check the cook when the other one is busy. πŸ–πŸ–πŸ₯©

Six years in, that partnership is still at the heart of every cook, from the first fire before sunrise to the last pan on your serving line. Who's the person you'd trust most to stand beside you on a long day's work? πŸ™Œ

Contest weekends get all the attention, but a lot of the learning happens on the cooks in between. πŸ”₯πŸ““

Competing on the South Carolina Barbeque Association circuit has taught us to watch the little things: how the fire behaves, how the bark sets up, how a pork shoulder feels when it's truly ready. Between contests, we keep practicing, keep taking notes, and keep working on the details so the next cook comes out a little better than the last. πŸ–

That same attention goes into every catering order we bring across the Upstate. What's one thing you've learned to do a little better every time you fire up your own grill or smoker? πŸ”₯

Every catering order starts with one number: how many folks are coming. πŸ“‹πŸ–

Before a single shoulder goes on the pit, we plan the whole cook around your guest count. That number decides how much pulled pork, ribs, and brisket we smoke, how many pans of sides get made, and how everything gets packed and lidded so it travels hot and ready. πŸ–πŸ”₯

It's quiet, early morning work, but it's how we make sure the line doesn't run short before the last guest gets a plate. When you're planning an event, what's the hardest part to figure out ahead of time? πŸ€”

Some of the best fall gatherings in the Upstate don't happen in a banquet hall at all. πŸ‚πŸžοΈ

S*M Barbecue doesn't have a storefront, so the pit comes to wherever your people are: the lake house, the family farm, a barn out in the country, or the ball field after the last game of the season. You pick the spot, and we bring the smoke along with pulled pork, ribs, brisket, and the sides to go with them. πŸ”₯🚚

Every place has its own story, and we're proud to be part of it. Where's the spot your family always ends up gathering? 🏑

When the weather turns cool, two sides on our serving line always seem to go first. πŸ§€πŸ‚

Our macaroni and cheese comes out of the pan with a golden top and a creamy middle, and our baked beans are rich and smoky with just a little sweetness. Set them side by side next to a pile of pulled pork or a few slices of brisket and you've got a plate that tastes like fall in the Upstate. πŸ”₯🍽️

Some folks keep every side in its own corner. Others let the baked beans run right into the mac and cheese on purpose. Which way does your plate go? πŸ˜„

The first thing to go on the pit every cook day isn't the meat. It's the fire. πŸ”₯πŸŒ…

Long before sunrise, the firebox gets lit and the smoker is given time to come up to temperature and settle in. Starting with a clean, steady fire means the meat goes on into even heat and good, clean smoke, instead of chasing the temperature for the first hour. πŸͺ΅

It takes patience, and it's a quiet part of the job most folks never see. But every pan of pulled pork, ribs, and brisket we bring to your gathering starts right there. What's the earliest you've ever gotten up to cook something you were proud of? ⏰

Ribs and barbecue sauce go back a long way. Which sauce is the real question. β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ–

Ronald Rock's OG Red is our sweet and tangy tomato-based barbecue sauce, and it clings to a rack's bark with that classic sticky finish. Ronald Rock's OG Gold is our sweet and tangy mustard-based barbecue sauce, and its bright tang cuts right through the richness of the pork. Both are good on ribs. They just land a little differently. πŸ”₯

So we'll ask it plainly: when it comes to ribs, are you Team Red or Team Gold, and what keeps you coming back to it? πŸ€”
