Coming Soon

Smoked Craft BBQ: a Texas-style, wood-smoked Craft BBQ & Comfort Food truck based in New Portland, Maine

The Smoked Craft BBQ food truck is currently being built.  Progress has been slow and is dependent on Mother Nature cooperating.  You can follow the build process on Instagram and I’ll be posting more in-depth videos on the Smoked Food Truck YouTube channel.

I’m hoping to be ready for my DHHS inspection and permitting process in mid to late May of 2024 with a target opening date in early June of ’24.

Smoked Craft BBQ will be a fully mobile kitchen serving wood-smoked, Texas-style barbecue.  I’ll start scheduling events closer to the time the truck will be ready to go.  I don’t want to make any commitments just yet until I’m a little further along in the process.

Smoked’s “Home Base” will be in New Portland, on RT27 adjacent to Sugar Leaf Co.  (Click link for Google Maps location.)

Starting a Food Truck in Rural Maine

As I’m waiting for Mother Nature to cooperate so I can start the truck build, I thought I would take a little time to share some thoughts about the past 5 month’s worth of planning.  There have been a few surprises that I wasn’t expecting that could have led to serious logistical problems trying to run a food truck in rural Maine.

I Promise not to Spam You

I’m setting up a mailing list so I can send out weekly updates. I’m using MailChimp as a email list manager. You can safely/easily unsubscribe at any time. I won’t be sharing your info with anyone.  

I’ll use this mailing list to keep people updated about weekly schedules, menu updates, specials,  events and occasionally will offer discounts and options to pre-order full briskets. I don’t intend to sell brisket by the pound as a standard menu option. Any full brisket orders will have to be placed in advance so I can secure the inventory each week.

Reluctantly Social

If you know me, you know I’m not a particularly social person.  That’s both IRL (In Real Life for you old farts) and online.  Social networking is an amazing, necessary evil for any new business getting started.  I’ll primarily be using my Instagram for posting quick updates and photos.
