We pull up, drop the window and serve your guests plates that were sliced ninety seconds earlier. Brisket goes on the fire fourteen hours before your event starts.

About the truck
One offset smoker, one family, ten years
Dre Willoughby built the first Smokestack truck around a 500 gallon offset smoker in 2015 and still cooks most events himself. We do not hold meat overnight and we do not reheat, which is why we cap the calendar at two events a day and turn work down.
•All meat smoked over post oak the night before, never held from a previous day
•Fully licensed and inspected mobile kitchen with a current health permit
•The truck needs a 25 by 12 foot flat spot and nothing else, we bring our own power
•Vegetarian and gluten free plates prepared separately, ordered by exact count
Reviews
From people who fed a crowd
“220 guests through the line in under an hour and the last plate was as hot as the first. Our wedding guests still bring it up.”
Alexis P., wedding, Lees Summit
“We do a quarterly company lunch and Dre has never once been late or short on food.”
Bill H., office lunch, Overland Park
FAQ
Catering questions we get
How much space does the truck need?
About twenty five feet by twelve on a reasonably flat surface, with room for guests to line up alongside. We generate our own power and carry our own water, so no hookups are required. If parking is tight, send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How long does it take to serve my guests?
We plate roughly 120 guests per hour from one window and add a second server past 150 guests to keep it moving. For a wedding we usually start service right after photos and are done in under an hour.
What about vegetarians and food allergies?
Order vegetarian plates by exact count when you confirm the headcount and we prepare them on separate surfaces. Most of our meats and sides are naturally gluten free, and we will mark the ones that are not on the menu card at the window.
What deposit do you take and when is the balance due?
Five hundred dollars holds your date and comes off the final bill. The final headcount is due ten days out, and the balance is due the day before the event. Cancel more than thirty days out and the deposit transfers to any future date within a year.
