I HAVE to comment on this travesty to snoots. "BBQ" refers to a high real wood flame about 4 feet away and open pit. This slow basting with only Mauls BBQ sauce that has been doctored with beer, is what "bbq" is ! It takes about 5-6 hours to make a REAL snoot. This is grilled crap. Where in St louis do I get a REAL "BBQ" snoot, not grilled, boiled and bastardised?

@analyzingfunny I'm sure there are other places in the St. Louis area that serve snoot, but this is the only one I am aware of as of now. If you find any other places, please let me know. Thanks.

@analyzingfunny You can go to Roper's and Smoki O's. Ropers is a hole in the wall, but easily some of the best bbq I've ever had in my life. Delicious.

@ Analyzingasshole.. If you really knew your barbecue you would own your own place, but you don't and we do!! I think you have us mixed up w/ someone else because not one thing you said is true.. We haven't ever used Maul's!! Yes we do boil the snoots to get them clean, some ppl don't care about cleanlieness with food, but WE DO!! I'm sure if what you said was true we wouldn't sell about 100 Lbs of them a week. If you ever get over your jealousy, come see us! Peace, love and bbq to ya! :)

@sluhjohn

The snoot is the nose. You have to parboil them and burn off the hair or pull it all out with a pliers.  Some of the cheek and upper jaw meat is attached when y ou get them and you have to butterfly and score them to cook them.

@sluhjohn BS!!! The snoot is the pigs nose.. go into uncle huffy's and they will show you a snoot before it's cleaned up and you'll see THE NOSE... look it up.. no cheek... nose and forehead actually.... i work there :)
