The Pitmaster
Pitmaster Noah De La Cruz started out burning baby backs with a Weber Kettle in his backyard. This quickly launched into a full-blown obsession driven by a fascination with transforming tough cuts into tender, flavorful BBQ without relying on sugars, sauces, or artificial flavorings. Noah eventually acquired a 325-gallon trailered propane tank offset smoker, which became the cornerstone of his craft. Years of trial and error culminated in the creation of CJ's Western BBQ, a passion project dedicated to delivering clean, smoky perfection to Northwestern Virginia. Today, Noah invites you to savor the fruits of his labor—a culmination of dedication, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to Texas-inspired BBQ excellence.
