Our Story

Nashville bred,
Memphis approved,
Tennessee tradition

West Tennessee taught us the fire. Nashville gave us the crowd. Here's how Smoqe Signals got here.

Smoqe Signals BBQ is a food truck rooted in Nashville, TN. Founded in 2012, over the years our business has expanded to cater for special events and gatherings, growing the reputation of our tender pulled pork, veggie pulled "pork," and some of the best brisket in Nashville.

We're more than pit masters and flavor enthusiasts. We're storytellers of taste, weaving the rich traditions of West Tennessee BBQ into the vibrant tapestry of Nashville's culinary scene. Hailing from Paris, TN, our journey began with a passion ignited by flavors passed down from uncles Clyde and Clay — a legacy that's still present in every mouthwatering bite.

From a humble concession stand to the thriving Smoqe Signals BBQ of today, our dedication to bringing you the true essence of West TN BBQ remains unwavering.

The pitmaster

Patience over shortcuts

Shon runs the pit the way it was taught to him — hickory, low and slow, no rushing good meat. That standard shows up on the truck, in the catering line, and in every shaker of rub that leaves our kitchen.
