Jeremy and Heather Tenkley have always enjoyed entertaining friends and family. We have a passion for BBQing and Smoking meats and cheeses. Jeremy being in the restaurant industry for the pass twenty years was looking for a career change, so they decided to start there own business. We did not want to start off with a brick and mortar building so we decided to start off with a food truck.
In the summer of 2013 we started our own business. We use wood smokers, and created our own BBQ sauces and rubs that are gluten free. Our sides are all homemade from recipes that we created or that are family recipes. We enjoy catering events and weddings and enjoy our newest location at Kulshan Brewery on James Street in Bellingahm.

Holy smokes.... literally! Hands down the best barbecue I've had. My favorite is the baked potato with choice of meat (I chose brisket). The potato was huge and so filling. The brisket was so tender and delicious. You have a choice between sweet or spicy bbq sauce. I highly recommend eating from this food truck.

JT's BBQ saved our family dinner tonight! They are sooo awesome and I totally appreciate their amazing food and their willingness to help me out of a BBQ emergency (yes, it is true, I am NOT a BBQ queen so thank goodness these guys are here to save the day!) Thank you so much! It was amazing and everyone completely LOVED the food. :)

JTs smokin BBQ...I remember sittin on JTs couch with cousin JT and talkin about start a BBQ business together. Jeremy is the best BbQ-ER in Whatcom county. The pulled pork is a must try. I could not be more proud of my old framing partner. He brings the tantalizing taste of southern BBQ to Whatcom county in the cleanest food truck in town. JTs BBQ is a must try by all ages. If you haven't tried it yet your missing out on a real treat. Just tell JT that Brian sent you.

SO glad I finally checked this place out! I love BBQ and there aren't a lot of places up north.
I wanted to try everything, but I settled on the brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw. Everything was so good! You can get similar sides at a grocery store, but JT's takes them to the next level. I really loved all the sauces too: spicy, regular and mustard.
The owner is super friendly and told me about all the items in detail. Fast and easy!
Support your local vendors and go to JTs!

This is the BEST bbq around! The brisket sandwich with the mustard sauce is absolutely killer. My sister and I also love the pulled pork and Mac and cheese! Would've posted a pic but we were hungry and honestly there's nothing left! Jeremy was so nice and you can tell there's a lot of love in this food. Will absolutely be back!

If you like spicy barbecue, beans that aren't cooked all the way, coleslaw with no flavor....this is the place for you. I am a chef who works at a local Restaurant, 4 ribs, a scoop of coleslaw and a brioche bun...14 bucks....and the ribs were dry, what I should have did...gone to Applebees,... for six more bucks I could have got the whole rack and two more sides...JTs bbq truck is parked in a bars parking lot...so I guess if a had a few beers, I would think it was good too.

I don't get to many of the food trucks in town but I sure am glad I stop by JT's smokin& BBQ. My car smelled amazing the whole drive home. Ordered the BBQ brisket sandwich with the mustard vinegar BBQ sauce and it was amazing! Had a side of Mac and cheese that was creamy and delicious. Highly recommend!

This place is legit. Do yourself a favor and get two bowls of bbq mac n cheese. One for now, one for tomorrow, trust me, you won't regret it. Also, other than the fact that this is hands-down the best bbq in all of Bellingham, ol boy in the truck is cool AF. Only bummer is he's only there on Tuesdays & Fridays. The bbq chicken sandwich is my favorite but the bbq brisket sandwich is pretty awesome too. (Tip- go for the mustard bbq sauce) GO GET YOU SOME!

Wow! Just wow! This place deserves every ounce of its 5 star rating. My partner and I were in town from Vancouver BC, and had a hankering for some BBQ. JTs smoke house popped up on google, so we took the plunge.
I got the brisket sandwich and my partner the pulled pork. Oh, my... god it was delicious. Easily matched the quality and flavour of bbq places in Montana.
Well worth the stop!

GET THE PULLED PORK MAC AND CHEESE! I ordered the loaded baked potato which was really good, but my boyfriend got the pulled pork Mac and I instantly regretted my decision. It is absolutely phenomenal. Their BBQ/hot sauces are amazing additions as well. Love this place, love the people. Definitely come here if you want the best Bbq.

Omg! A friend brought me to Kulshan's and there was JTs, ready to feed me and mine. Oh, it was wonderful. The ribs are awesome. "Do I need a knife?" I asked. Nooooo. I tend to prefer savory over sweet, so often I avoid any BBQ that is sauced. This, however, was perfect. Nice in between and very delish. Sides were nice too. Pleasant cole slaw and very nice potato salad thoughtfully constructed and tasty. And then--bonus!--a nice little bun to top it all off. And JT is as sweet as all get out. Really nice guy. Hip hip!

OMG how have I not reviewed JT's yet?! It's not like I haven't eaten there about a gazillion times (and enjoyed every single delicious, smoky bite). JT (a.k.a. Jeremy) is a friendly guy who had a dream: to open up a food truck specializing in ahhhhhmazing BBQ. Well, folks, he accomplished it and then some. His truck even has a back "porch" with a huge working smoker/BBQ belching out the most amazing smells ever. Just walking by gives people a craving for the yummy goodness he's cooking up inside. I've even heard of vegans who were converted to meat-eaters

Got some BBQ while at Kulshan and it was the highlight over the beer. Had the massive baked potato with pulled pork, sweet BBQ sauce, shredded cheddar, green onions, and sour cream. Friends had pulled pork and chicken sandwiches and we shared the smoked jalapeño poppers. The potatoe was baked perfectly, soft and hot. The pork was very tender with a good amount of smoke and was still juicy. The sauce was sweet how I like it. It was a giant serving and I took half of it home. The sandwiches everything really liked, but they all had to finish it with a fork, big and messy with lots of pork
