What Ry was talking about touches on an absolute truth. And all of these guys are making the same point, and that is that barbecuing is a little science and a whole lot art. It takes time to develope your own style and at some point you learn to trust the instincts that you have acquired. I've only been at it for about 5 years and it's starting to get more consistent for me.

Tip #5 is one that should be talked about more! I have seen so many videos of just shaking on layers and layers of this rub and that. It's excessive, you can't taste all that complexity and at some point you're taking away from the meat.

Great video!I have a few tips to add to this wonderful video, learn to shop sales, and don’t always fear the manager special bin. Some places pride them selves on fresh cut steaks every day. And any leftover from the day before get sold at a reduced price. Because a local grocery store that cuts fresh meat daily had choice delmonico ribeye on sale for 9 dollars a pound, yesterday’s steaks were 5 dollars a pound on manager special. My 3rd tip is to set aside time in your week to just go to stores you don’t normally go to, you will find wonderful foods and spices!
@WeekendWarriorBBQ4 жыл бұрын

Hey Mike! This video was on point big time. Thanks to the other cooks who brought their experiences to your video. Yesterday was my first cook on vertical PB Pro Series. I did a rack of baby back and a rack of spare ribs. I had the pit temp set for 250 and I was shooting for 4hrs. However, it was extremely windy (18MPH) and I kept obsessing when I would see the temps drop to 230-240. I was opening the chimney more to try and get the temps up but like you said, it fluctuated back up once the auger did its thing. I knew I would have to adjust my time and I pulled and wrapped them at the 3:45 mark for another hour. Man, I was worried by my wife tried both racks and was killing them;-) Both of us went back for seconds. Love all your videos on the vertical and I'm looking to do some chickens, next. Great job!

I used to think the more smoke rolling out of the stack, the better! Took me YEARS to learn that was a mistake. Too much rub is something I still struggle with... You're right, you get those new rubs and you're are all excited about them. Result? Minimal smoke flavor and over-salted meat.

I like the mistake you brought up in particular. I have done the same thing. I covered my meats in the rub. I thought it would help. WRONG! I’ve now learned that less is more. I just do a light coating of rub now and it’s a huge difference. The meats tastes way better now plus it has a better smoke flavor. Plus I made my own injection for pork butt and now there is a ton of flavor throughout my pork. One big thing I’d say about smoking meats is you never stop learning something new or different.

I love your hoodie bro, where'd you get that at? Good tips on smoking for beginners or veterans alike. I've wanted to bash my head against the wall so many times. It's hard to swallow to put as much effort into something as smoking takes and the finished product ain't up to expectations. There's probably a special place in hell waiting for me for all the foul language iv dropped over making these mistakes. My biggest problem was I was taking it too serious. Once I just started having fun doing it, miraculously my food started getting better but it took a while, I'm a pretty competitive person by nature. It used to be like I was in the kingsford championship every time I fired up my smoker, and as a result, I hated even doing it.

Question about over smoking. If you are using a pellet smoker how does it not over smoke the meat ect
@WeekendWarriorBBQ4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Zee. The pellet smokers that are out there today burn so clean that’s it’s hard to over smoke something. They basically take the human error out of it. With that said, you still need to test/experiment to make sure you aren’t overdoing it for your taste. Personally, I think 4-5 hours is the perfect amount of smoke before I wrap in foil.

John, we got a little touch of snow last weekend. We got a ton of snow this week and I hope it doesn’t melt before my next video.

Weekend Warrior BBQ we had wind chills well below zero last week. Today 54 above. I’d like in the fifties for turkey day. Debating if I want to use the Pit Boss or old stand by. The WSM.

Hey !! Great video. Love the content. I’m new to smoking meat only a year in to it but having a blast. My in-laws surprised me yesterday and brought over 2 racks of ribs and a pork belly. My wife volunteered me to smoke it. I’m happy to do it but I’m nervous about mixing meats. I usually just do one type at a time any advice would be welcome. Thanks
@WeekendWarriorBBQ4 жыл бұрын
I dont like to mix meats either... but you would be fine to put them all in. That pork belly dripping down onto the ribs might add some awesome flavor that you wouldnt get otherwise

If you put the stickers on the hopper part of the smoke I think you will be fine. Its gets pretty hot around the pit
