The food truck's official Facebook page made the announcement on Monday, April 8, 2024, citing poor sales this past winter as well as the inflation of the price of ingredients as the primary reasons for the decision to close up shop.

However, it would appear that while the food truck business will no longer exist, the owners of the Smoken CEO do still plan to cook their signature sandwiches and burgers at special events as well as barbecue competitions around Western Colorado.

While unfortunate for the owners of the food truck business and fans of the truck's food, the Facebook post announcing closure carried some positivity as the owners made a point to reflect on the business' "awesome journey" and the friends they'd made along the way.
