If a friend had told me about a new BBQ joint in Wake Forest that cooks over wood coals and is run by Keith Allen’s next door neighbor, I’d have replied one of two ways: “Hmm, that is a weird dream” or “Have you been drinking again?” But when I read about such a restaurant in the News & Observer recently, I took it more seriously.
Evidently, there really is a new barbecue joint in Wake Forest that cooks with hickory and oak (gas-free, thank you very much). And it really is run by a neighbor of legendary pitmaster Keith Allen of Chapel Hill’s Allen & Son, which is one of the best ‘cue spots on the planet. I’m not sure that photosynthesis works with pitmasters, so I can’t figure out if Keith Allen’s special BBQ sunshine will help grow a neighbor into a great pitman, but I’m willing to test that theory. I’ll be headed to Fire Pit BBQ soon, and I hope you do the same.

Porky, you really need to start doing photography reviews of these restaurants. It’s all very well to announce the opening of a new place, but we’d like to see pics of the restaurant, the signage, the interiors, and finally the food.
Robert, as you can imagine it is difficult to photograph a place I’ve never been. When I review places (see the Joints tab), I do take photos, rest assured.
On behalf of the Fire Pit staff, please come eat with us! And try the pie!!
