Texas BBQ Wannabe: 85

*Every so often, with my Texas BBQ Wannabe posts I remind readers that we are not actually calling these places "wannabes." This is just our catchy way of documenting Texas BBQ around the country & worldwide. We love seeing Texas-style BBQ joints outside of The Lone Star State; and if we find ourselves in any of these places, we're stopping in!

85. Wayne's Smoke Shack (Superior, Colorado) - True Texas BBQ

"After many years of experimenting with new recipes, Wayne moved to Colorado in 2009 where his local quest for BBQ began. In opening Wayne’s Smoke Shack, Wayne set out to bring his creative Texas style BBQ to his new home of Colorado. Wayne’s Smoke Shack began out of a love of good BBQ. Throughout his childhood, Wayne was fortunate to live in Central Texas where BBQ is plentiful and brisket is king. As his love of delicious smoked sausage and melt in your mouth brisket grew, Wayne began to BBQ regularly in the backyard."
