Stoltz's Smoke Shack

Stoltz's Smoke Shack is a barbecue business serving central Illinois through custom catering and pop-up events. Its menu centers on smoked meats such as pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs, chicken, turkey breast and smoked sausage, seasoned with house-made dry rubs. Side dishes are made from the shack's own recipes, including mac and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw and sweet potato casserole, and the kitchen also makes desserts.

Catering can be arranged for events of any kind, and the shack also appears at pop-up events, which are announced on Facebook and Instagram. Smoked beef sticks, sausages, bacon, summer sausage and smoked cheeses are sold packaged in limited quantities, so it is worth calling to see what is in stock. Hours are listed as 9:00 am to 6:00 pm every day, and the phone line is the easiest way to ask about orders.
