About Us

Hey there, fellow BBQ lover!
I’m Tom Garzarelli, pitmaster and founder of Smokestack Junction—a brand built from smoke, flame, and a lifelong passion for great barbecue.

From backyard cookouts to late-night brisket sessions, BBQ has always been more than just a hobby for me—it’s a way of life. Over time, I took that passion on the road, competing in BBQ competitions across the country with my team, Meat Monarchy. Every smoky sunrise, every rib wrap, every nod from a competitor—it all feeds the fire behind what we do.

I created Smokestack Junction to bring that same soul and spirit of BBQ to your everyday life. Whether you’re a weekend grill warrior, a competition regular, or just someone who appreciates the taste of slow-smoked perfection—we’ve got something for you.

Our mission? To unite BBQ lovers through bold apparel that celebrates the pitmaster, the fire, and the incredible community built around outdoor cooking.

Thanks for being part of the Smokestack Junction family.
Let’s fire up the pit and keep the smoke rolling. 🔥
