There's a recent article from Cheapism that covers the best BBQ joints in each state, and they said...

"While the South is known as the place for exceptional barbecue and countless regional styles of smoked meats, superb barbecue can be found all around the United States. Many smoke shacks and pitmasters in states without a storied barbecue history have created their own styles and unique adaptations that are just as good as the classics."

"Don't bother stopping by Grandpa's for a photo of food worth Instagramming. The food isn't beautiful and the service is plain — but the barbecue is delicious, authentically Southern and never disappoints, and Lloyd and Loretta Westbrook and their kids are the most amiable of hosts. From the gumbo, slaw, and brisket to the buttermilk pie, this is barbecue for the taste buds. You can give the camera phone a rest."
