Lithia Springs, GA

Smoke.
Craft.
Serve.

BBQ catering built for events, not bolted on as an afterthought. Smoked low and slow, served with precision across the Atlanta metro.

01

Catering-First

We don't run a restaurant that also caters. Events are the business. That means purpose-built logistics, scalable prep, and a booking experience designed for planners.

02

Low & Slow, Always

Oak-smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken. Every cut gets the time it deserves. No shortcuts, no steam trays of reheated leftovers.

03

Southern Sides Done Right

Mac and cheese, collard greens, cornbread, coleslaw, baked beans. Made from scratch the morning of your event. Not shipped in, not frozen, not "close enough."

04

Corporate to Community

200-person company cookout? 50-guest wedding rehearsal? Neighborhood block party? We scale to fit, and every plate gets the same attention.

Born From Smoke,
Built for Events

PitCraft started in Lithia Springs with a single offset smoker and a weekend gig. That was enough to prove something: the best BBQ doesn't come from restaurants — it comes from people who smoke for a living.

Every Sunday for five years, we fired up the pits before dawn for competition circuits and private events across the Atlanta metro. Word spread. Restaurants wanted to partner. Corporate teams called. Brides' fathers called. We kept saying no to walk-in traffic and yes to anything that moved — because catering is where the craft lives.

Today, PitCraft operates from a dedicated catering facility in Lithia Springs, GA, with multiple offset smokers and the infrastructure to run events from 50 to 500 guests. We're not a restaurant that added catering. We're a catering operation that learned to smoke meat the right way — over real oak, at the right temperature, for the time it needs.

Southern tradition says you feed people well when they come together. That's what we do.

Real Wood, Real Fire

Oak and hickory. No pellets, no gas assist. The way smoke is meant to happen.

Low & Slow, Every Time

Brisket runs 14–18 hours. Ribs get 6 hours minimum. We don't rush what can't be rushed.

Made From Scratch

Rubs, sauces, sides — all built in-house the morning of your event.

The Difference Is in the Details

We built this for event planners who've been burned before. Here's what that means in practice.

Published Pricing — No Surprises

Our package prices are on the site. Not hidden behind a "call for quote" wall. You know what you're getting into before you reach out, and the final number rarely strays from the estimate.

Same-Day Quote Response

We check messages before the day starts. Most quote requests get a real response within a few hours — not an auto-reply, not "we'll get back to you in 3-5 business days."

25 Years in the Smoke

PitCraft started with a weekend gig and a single offset smoker. Five years of competition circuits and private events before we took on catering full-time. That experience shows in how we handle logistics, timing, and the unexpected on event day.

Owner-Managed, Every Time

Brian manages the pit and oversees every event personally. No handoffs to a team you've never met the day before your event. You get one point of contact who knows your event front to back.

Oak-Smoked, Never Accelerated

Brisket runs 14–18 hours over real oak. We don't use gas assist or pellets to cut time. The bark, the smoke ring, the render — it only comes from doing it the long way.

From-Scratch Sides, Every Event

Mac and cheese, collard greens, baked beans — all built in-house the morning of your event. Nothing frozen, nothing shipped in. The same standard we hold the meat to gets applied to everything on the table.
