The story of our food

Our Meat

We start off with all midwest beef and pork that gets thoroughly trimmed by our team of pitmasters. It is then covered in our house-made rubs before it makes it's way to smoke.
We smoke all our meat with real wood and fire, in our Lang reverse-flow offset smokers that we fill with a mix of oak and cherry. Although we've been serving up beautiful meat for years we are always improving and perfecting our techniques to ensure you get the best meat you can

Our from scratch kitchen

CR Midnight Smoker BBQ is a from scratch kitchen meaning we make everything in house; our sides, sauces, pickled products, and specials. We are committed to making our food accessible for everyone, most of our products are gluten-free, corn-free, and dairy-free, and because we make everything ourselves, our staff can help make sure our food is safe for you!

Meet Your Guide to Great BBQ: Greg Stoll

Greg has been smoking meat for most of his life, starting on an old beat down smoker that was past down to him. From neighborhood parties to feeding his kids show choir events, Greg's love and knowledge about smoked meat grew. 

After retiring from his former business "Skippy's Custom Tile" and then realizing he couldn't sit at a desk the rest of his life he bought a big smoker from a friend and started his BBQ dream in the Newbo City Market.
