Piggin' Out Smokehouse

One look behind the country-style shack that houses Piggin' Out Bar-B-Que in almost-rural Lakewood will let you know that the owners understand what smoking meat means. There you'll find a big steel smoker on a trailer that's stained in streaked shades of bronze from smoke and fat. A recent expansion gives loyal customers a place to sit inside, and outside there's a back patio under shady trees. There's chicken and turkey on the menu along with standard sides, but the best bets are the pulled pork, the pork ribs, the chopped brisket and two kinds of sausage. Sauces are honest, Kansas City-style, and come either rich and sweet or as a spicy version of the same.
