On this episode of The Groove Life Podcast, we welcome back Greg Stoll — Cedar Rapids’ own Midnight Smoker. Greg first joined us two years ago, and since then his barbecue journey has grown from NewBo City Market to a beautiful brick-and-mortar spot in downtown Cedar Rapids.

Greg starts his days early, tending the smokers and feeding our city with incredible BBQ. He shares how music protects his mood, family fuels his inspiration, and why his biggest goal is filling people’s souls with food.

And, in true Midnight Smoker fashion, Greg showed up to the podcast with some delicious BBQ for us to share while we talked smoke, music, and the grind behind the business.

Welcome to The Groove Life, a bi-weekly podcast from one of the Corridor's hardest rockers Shane Lunsford, joined by his daughter Mikah, focused around good vibes and positivity - the things in life that make you groove.
