The Rap World's BBQ Actualizer

BY TAMARA PALMER

G Stacks Professional Smokers and Pits of Suisun City is the secret weapon of BBQ enthusiasts like rap stars E-40, who hails from nearby Vallejo, and Warren G, who recently launched his own Sniffin Griffins line of sauces and rubs). The company, led by Garnet G, builds custom units for private backyards, competitive grillers and restaurants; NFL star Marshawn Lynch recently commissioned one to go into Beast Mode at his Emeryville restaurant, Rob Ben’s. If you’ve got outdoor cooking space, it might be time to let G Stacks upgrade your life with a bespoke creation.

I enjoyed the fruits (er, meats) of G Stacks’ ingenuity when this crew showed out at the San Francisco Street Food Festival last fall; see pictures in the Instagram gallery below.

An essential stop at the SF Street Food Fest today is the BBQ pitmasters area, where Vallejo’s @gstackspitscatering (caterer and custom pit maker for @e40 and @warreng) is slaying the brisket - I got mine on handmade corn tortillas by @mixiotesf
