Family feuding sent pitmaster John Mueller packing (he has since surfaced at Shiner Restaurant and Bar, in Shiner). But the trailer formerly known as JMueller quickly reopened with a new name. The proprietor remains LeAnn Mueller (John’s sister), but the cooking is now under the sure hand of John Lewis, who trained at Franklin Barbecue. And is the meat ever good! A spicy dry rub did wonders for a paperlined tray of smoked brisket, smoked beef short ribs, pulled pork, and prime rib (a special). The chipotlespiked coleslaw overshadowed the other sides, while cold Lone Star beer from a cooler made it go down smooth. Get there early. More than half the menu items were sold out within an hour of opening.(2/13)
