“Doko Smoke BBQ – Cooking 24 Hours Low and Slow
At Doko Smoke BBQ “low and slow” means smoking meat until it is ready to fall apart under its own weight while staying juicy, flavorful, and tender. Undoubtedly, producing this type of product day in and day out takes a serious devotion to your craft, but Tony and Chris Crout, owners of Doko Smoke, are committed to bringing Blythewood the best BBQ around.
“We put the Boston butt and the brisket on around 5:00 in the afternoon and it will go for 12-14 hours low and slow before we pull them off the next morning,” said Tony. Other meats, like chicken and ribs, go on between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. after which Tony turns his attention to making the signature sides including the mac ’n cheese, hash and rice, baked beans, and banana pudding his customers have come to love. The Pitmaster also revealed that he will be adding a 12 oz. brisket burger to the menu soon.
Since Doko Smoke BBQ opened its doors in 2014, the little restaurant and its shingled mobile food truck with competition-proven food have provided catering serves for weddings, family, and corporate gatherings as well as school and sporting events throughout the Midlands.
During a year that saw many establishments closing their doors, the Croats also opened Doko Smoke West in Gilmer, Texas. Asked if he wanted to open additional locations Tony said, “Chris and I are talking about it. This could be our long-term plan…If the right people come along and are interested in a franchise we are open to sitting down and talking. ”
But the past year has presented challenges however and like so many other service-oriented businesses Doko Smoke has struggled to find the right employees. “Last three months it was just Chris and I…We did have to cut our hours back because of staffing. We hope to get back to normal hours in a month or two, but working 14 to 15 hour days by myself – that was rough.”
By the same token, the best part of Doko Smoke isn’t just its delicious BBQ and the Croats are known for giving back to their community by supporting numerous worthy causes such as the town’s annual RibFest, The Big Red Barn Retreat, Westwood and Blythewood High School athletics, Give Kids the World, the Ryan Fleming Memorial Scholarship, Camp Adam Fisher and other individual members of the community that have reached out to Doko Smoke to sponsor a fundraiser.
Located at 408 Main Street in Blythewood, more information about Doko Smoke BBQ, its menu items, operating hours, and catering services can be found on the restaurant’s webpage at

My heart goes out to the family and all of the friends of
Ryan Fleming. The word of his passing knocked my feet out from under me. There isn’t a memory of middle school and high school that doesn’t have Ryan in it. He was a great teddy bear and listener if you ever had a problem, but he would also be the biggest goofball to make you laugh and take your mind off of anything bothering you. I have seen him many times through the years and we would pick up right where we left off like no time had passed. You are going to be missed so much “Biggun” (the nickname my mom gave him lol) Rest easy friend!!
