I didn’t think I was a fan of BBQ but this place changed my mind. It was so incredibly delicious. The brisket was so tender and all the sides were perfect.

If you love the taste of “slow and low” sweet smoke BBQ meats, then you must visit Pure Smoke in Stanwood. It is the best traditional true smoke around, this side of Texas. Jim and Christine are the “super smokers and true pitmasters. They know offset smoking. They purchase special wood to burn to permeate the smokey flavors of their meats. From their two offset smokers come briskets, burnt ends, pork belly, pulled pork, St. Louis ribs, chicken, sausage and BBQ sandwiches and if you are lucky you might find Jim smoking beef cheeks which alone is worth the trip. Their sides, especially elote (Mexican street corn salad) compliment all their smoke so beautifully. If BBQ is on your menu just follow your nose and taste buds to the sweet meats of Pure Smoke in Stanwood. You will not regret it, I guarantee. David Camano island

Jim and Team at Pure Smoke BBQ helped us celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday! Everything we ordered was delicious and cooked to perfection. I particularly like the Texas style that lets the meat and smoke speak for it self and doesn’t hide behind heaping handfuls of rubs and seasonings. Just salt, pepper, and smoke. Jim’s BBQ sauces are the perfect pairings for anything of the offerings on the menu. Order Pure Smoke BBQ for your next event!

Jim makes the best BBQ around in my opinion. His pork belly is the best I have ever had. I like that they offer a small bowl option if you aren't super hungry but need just a snack.

It's more of a take home than it is a stay and eat place but this is going to depend on who you're eating with. Better quality than Kelly's in Mount Vernon, but Moose Creek in Arlington is one notch up. They are all on par as far as pricing goes. I only tried the brisket, ribs and corn bread all are fantastic. The corn bread was soft and somewhat moist. Portions are slightly bigger than Moose Creek. In particular the ribs.
Don't miss out on this place. Brisket was juicy, tender and flavorful. Cannot believe there are others saying it was dry. Best brisket, or meat in general that I've ever had anywhere. Mac and cheese was divine, with a smoky flavor. It was all well worth the price for what you're getting. Good cow. The owner was very kind, even though we came right before closing. I would add a photo, but we scarfed it all down too quickly. Check their Instagram for their hours and schedule.

Best BBQ around. I’m surprised I have not written a review yet. I have been here multiple times, and I have always been impressed with their food.

Expensive for a food truck and if you dine at one of the three picnic tables in the parking lot it’s extremely noisy next to the busy road.

Softest, most tender brisket we've had in all of America. The meat here is smoked better than overpriced fine dining places
