I made this BBQ sauce and it really went well with not only Pork, but brisket as well! It has an incredible flavor. I added a little Cayenne pepper in a second batch, to add some heat but not change the flavor!!

Rubbing down the inside of a Weber kettle grill with vegetable oil before the initial burn isn't necessary or recommended by the manufacturer. The practice of oiling comes from seasoning cast iron or steel cookware to create a non-stick surface and prevent rust. However, Weber kettle grills are coated to resist rust and do not require this step. The main thing to do with a new Weber kettle grill is the initial burn-off, as mentioned earlier, to remove any manufacturing residues. This ensures the grill is clean and safe for cooking. Regular cleaning and maintenance after each use will help keep your grill in good condition.

The Weber SearWood can also be used with a rotisserie.

Great video. Looking foward to seeing you do a pork butt or Brisket on pitt boss champion

Them "non stick" griddles on the blackstone are junk!

Brother Ric! How ya been buddy. Not sure what has happened but I haven’t got any of your notifications. I’m going to try and stay back on track. Hope all is well. Oh….that yard bird looks killer!

Damn Ric. That is cool ❤

That thing is a beast. Can’t wait to see what you make on it and how well it works. Tons of cooking surface area on those racks. Very versatile.

I have a PBC and I’ve enjoyed it. But I really like how easily you can access the charcoals in that Pit Boss. That’s nifty. Had a buddy do the sausage trick you did several years ago and I’ve been copying it since. I even do it with hot dogs. Is awesome.

I need a new drum smoker. This one is at the top of my list so far.

Nice cook Ric, I enjoy my Bronco, but man I love the way the coal basket swings out very cool. Bronco top load

Love that Pollos Hermanos seasoning on them leg quarters - excellent cook brother! Cheers!

Great first cook slick Ric 👍💯🍺

Nice cook bro! Chicken looked fantastic!

Good Looking Cook Ric. Can't go wrong with Chargrilled Bird. I love it!!!

Los Pollos Hermanos Southwest...you are now ready to cook....chicken! Beauty cook Ric. Cheers!

Wow looks fantastic Ric , definitely money 💰💵!!!. That smoker looks pretty awesome too! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. Cheers brother 🍻🍻🍻

Fantastic looking yard bird...yes indeed my brother 👌. Cheers 🍻

Been looking at that drum, think it would look good on my patio. Nice cook Ric!

Looking good brother. Make me grill some chicken today. Thanks for sharing!

I replaced the temperature probe in my pit boss and no more error message.

I have one of these on the porch of my consession trailer. It takes a little getting used to. I still do 90% of my smoking on my reverse flow trailer smoker because it's so big. But so far this thing has been fun playing with. The coals no matter lump or briquettes get stuck sometimes and you have to unclog. But it does hold temp like a champ.

Hi Ric, I’m in the market for a new smoker after 10 years with my Backwoods G2 chubby finally had enough. Very interested in what airflow you use, along with how you plan to catch the grease. Thanks for doing this, will stay tuned!

Looking forward to seeing this thing doing its thing. Nice review Ric!

You admit they were overcooked at 200-plus degrees internal temp. If you could get a redo, at what internal temp would you take the ribs off the smoker? Would you adjust duration and cooking temp?

Congratulations! I am leaning toward one as well

Your Texas flag is displayed incorrectly. It should be blue on top, white to the left, red to the right

Hey Ric been awhile nice smoker can’t wait to see you put something in it

Nice rig rick! Another weapon for the BBQ arsenal

I've cooked on that rig multiple times...do a few mods for it and of course Firecups lights those like a champ 🔥🔥🔥

for the price I think it's hard to beat Old Country, years ago I thought about buying this smoker but ended up with the Assassin 32, I'm very happy with my purchase but I spent more, now I believe it was worth it but I'm sure this would have produced great BBQ, it should come with a water tray and an ash pan in my opinion but those are easy fixes. I only use lump charcoal today I like B&B but tomorrow who knows, briquettes create a ton more ash, I go thru 40-60lbs per week so the amount of ash matters to me

I have been wanting this one for a while. Congrats on the new smoker - it's going to be fun!

Sweet pit Ric! 👀 🔥🔥

i been looking at these for a while now. where is the power cord lol

Can't wait to see it in action!!!

Hey Ric! at first glance, I thought you went storage locker hunting and found an old civil war era safe!! 🤠💰💰😂 all kidding aside...that's one sturdy well made Smoker! Can't wait to see what cooks you'll be doing with it!! Congrats Ric on the new Baby!!!👍🏼✌🏼

Ribs or Brisket. I'll come over and taste test!

I have been wanting one of those for a while now. When my gravity feed 980 fails I'm going to get one. I sent you a email about some rub the other day. I have been meaning to call but don't know when is the best time. I'm looking forward to the video on this smoker.

Nice Ric

Heavy duty smoker! I like your upgrades👍😊

Dang Ric that a mighty fine smoker looks like you can put a lot tri tips in there 🤣 can’t wait to see what you gonna cook in there. 👍

That’s a monster unit Ric. Happy smoking

Pretty awesome looking smoker. I would like to see chickens done on it and ribs. Cheers, Ric! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

Ribs! Which do you like baby back or good ole fashion big country ribs. I'd like to learn how to do a pork belly one day too. She looks great can't wait to see what comes out of it. Safe travels buddy thanks for sharing 👍

That thing is a beast bro! Load it down with ribs for the first cook! Baby backs!

It’s a beast Ric! Nice looking smoker! Should do a fantastic job. Can’t wait for some cooks. Have a nice 4th of July! Cheers brother 🍻🍕🤑💰
