Press Spotlights Bent’s BBQ

After placing an order at the just opened Bent's Pitchamps Bar-b-que trailer, customers can walk around behind it and chat with the man behind the meat. Jeff Selle, owner of Bent's, is often back there loading or tending to his bullet smoker and grills. Selle, 48, of Post Falls, said Thursday, "We are absolutely slow-cook authentic barbecue. We cook over fire and smoke, and that's it. All of our stuff is cooked competition grade." He has been open for nearly three weeks, and despite the "Juneuary" weather, he's off to a good start, he said. "We're getting a lot of repeat business," he said. "We're getting really good reviews online." His barbecue trailer is located just east of Fourth Street on Best Avenue, next to Best Sandwich Shack and Taco Works. Both businesses have good reputations, he said, and that will only help him/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (Jerome Pollos Coeur d'Alene Press photo)

Question: Anyone out there who hasn't tried Bent's BBQ?
