Securing a solid supply of barbecue can be a struggle these days. Your local barbecue joint or nearby favorite might be temporarily closed. Many of the Texas joints offering takeout will drop off your order curbside, but it’s understandable if you still feel uneasy about leaving home to get it. Or maybe you have the misfortune of not living in Texas and have a smoked brisket craving you can’t ignore. Below you can find links to the barbecue joints that ship nationwide from Texas. If you’d rather smoke it yourself, keep scrolling for a listing of meat suppliers that will deliver raw meat (a.k.a. future barbecue) to your door.

Raw meat shipped nationwide

Getting barbecue delivered to your front porch is nice, but I know there are folks who have the time and the inclination to smoke their own. Rather than a grocery store run, you can order raw meat from these suppliers. We highlighted the availability of brisket and other barbecue cuts, but many are sold out, so you might have to settle for a thick, juicy steak instead.

Texas meat companies:

  • 1915 Farm near Victoria raises grass-fed beef. It’s currently sold out of briskets, but a rack of beef short ribs is $22, and the shipping cost* is $25.
  • Chapman 3C Cattle Company in Hico sells a variety of all-natural beef cuts including brisket flats and points for $68 each (currently sold out of whole briskets). Beef short ribs and beef cheeks are also available. Shipping costs $14.96 per package.
  • 44 Farms in Cameron has beef short ribs available in packages of two racks, and you can buy plenty of steaks.
  • A Bar N Ranch in Sherman ships its Texas Wagyu beef including steaks and ground beef. Shipping costs $20. Raw briskets can be purchased as well, but must be picked up in Dallas or Celina.
  • Augustus Ranch in Yoakum sells a variety of all natural, pasture-raised beef and pork cuts. It doesn’t currently have briskets available, but it does have pork shoulders. Shipping costs $14.58 per package.
