Featured listings

Your basic listing stays free. Claiming, the owner Q&A, photos, dish highlights and corrections cost nothing, always. Featured is a paid upgrade we’re building now: labeled promotion and tools that help folks planning a barbecue trip find you and call you. It’s not open for purchase yet.

Join the interest list

Our picks can’t be bought.

Spots and sponsors can pay for promotion, and it’s always labeled and kept separate from our picks. Featured can’t get you into a guide or a trail, or change what we write about you.

Launch pricing

Founding rate, first 20 owners
$29 a month

Locked in for as long as you stay.

After that
$49 a month

Or $490 a year.

Prices are set at launch and shown here before anyone pays.

What’s coming with Featured

  • A labeled Featured card on your page
  • Promoted pins for your events in your area and in The Smoke Report’s events list
  • A labeled promoted spot on your area page, the spots list and the map, in rotation
  • A labeled Featured row below Nearby on spot pages close to you, in rotation
  • No other business’s promotion on your own page
  • A monthly report: views, and clicks to call, get directions, visit your website, see your menu and order
  • A Featured discount on our blaze sign kit
  • Front of the line for a written interview: a Q&A-style feature in your words, edited by us. It’s still editorial, timing isn’t promised, and it’s never promised to be positive.
  • Cancel anytime, once it opens

Website pack (coming soon)

Want a small website of your own? Featured spots will be able to add one as an optional upgrade, with a few pages built by us. Price set at launch.

Free for every spot

Claiming, the owner Q&A, your photos, dish highlights and corrections stay free, Featured or not.

Who can join

Featured will be open to spots that are open and claimed, with verified hours and a verified phone number. Closed spots and spots marked “Hours not confirmed” can’t join. Claim your spot first. It’s free.

Sometimes, if you send us something

Send us photos and a story and we may feature your spot in The Smoke Report or on our social accounts, free. A bonus, not a promise.

Want to hear first?

Leave your details and we’ll email you when Featured opens, before the Founding places are announced anywhere else. No payment, no commitment.

We’ll only email you about Featured. See our Privacy Policy.
