The Smoke Ring Doesn't Lie
Uncle Butt's BBQ

Born in the
Smoke


Uncle Butt's BBQ isn't just a brand — it's a standard. A KCBS-level obsession with doing things the right way: the right temp, the right wood, the right cut, the right time. No shortcuts. No apologies.

Running a Pit Boss Austin XL and a Traeger out of Idaho, this is competition-grade BBQ culture distilled into content, community, and fire. If Uncle Butt puts his stamp on it, you know it's right.
