US 322 runs 494 miles from Lake Erie to the Atlantic — Public Square in Cleveland to the boardwalk at Atlantic City. Part of it was once the Lakes-to-Sea Highway. Two smokehouses sit on it, twenty minutes apart. Same pitmaster, same rub, two pits.

The pitmaster · in the smoke
Central Texas taught the method: hardwood, salt and pepper, patience, and sauce on the side if you want it at all. We cook that way and then put a Cuban and a cheesesteak next to it, because this is South Jersey.

The platter · ribs, brisket, pork, bird, three sides
Post-oak only
The wood Central Texas runs on. Clean smoke, no bitterness, no gas assist, no liquid smoke.
Dry rub, not sauce
Salt, pepper, and the bark it builds over twelve hours. Q sauce comes on the side. Good brisket doesn’t need it.
Sold till it’s gone
One cook a day, by the quarter pound, shaved or chopped. When a cut sells out it’s off the board till tomorrow.

On the Ole Hickory · hour nine

Half chickens · post-oak

Pork butts · pans out
