4:45 I want to smoke a beef roast, but I want to slice it instead of pull it. What kind of beef roast would I get. What temp to smoke it at?
7:21 Is there such thing as too big of a smoke ring??
9:40 Troy, I was curious if you've ever tried Cackalacky Cheerwine BBQ Sauce? It's popular in my area in NC. Would be glad to send you some to try in a rib/chicken video in the future?
10:51 Chew What?
11:35 What do you think of lime or bbq sauce on steaks?
12:48 Have you ever gotten irritated shooting a video, behind the scenes type of thing.
17:14 What is it that you done before retirement, job wise?
17:54 Could we have a short tour of your desk setup?
19:05 If you're smoking a chicken or two in WSM 18.5", how much charcoal briquettes do you use? 1 chimney cold charcoal and a hot chimney full on top? 2 cold chimneys and 1 hot on top?
20:43 Do you like seafood?
22:33 We all know a brisket is the hardest piece of meat to get 'right.' If some one over cooks it or under cooks it, how can they salvage?
24:26 I have an opportunity to cut down a black walnut tree. Never hear of anyone smoking with black walnut but there will be lots of limbs and small pieces left to smoke with. What do you think?
25:59 What led you in the direction of BBQ? What advise can you offer someone like myself in the BBQ arena as well as the youtube arena?
32:16 I want to start using better quality meats. I live in Ohio and I can't seem to find anything around me that sells good quality meats.? Is there anyone you can recommend that I can order from online?
38:11 Do you keep all of your grills and cookers outside during winter time or do you store them in a garage or something?
41:11 When brisket gets to the point where you rap, how do you know?
43:58 Is there any way to load more fuel (wood) into the chamber of the offset cooker and install the BBQ Guru to keep her on auto pilot for the over night cooks?
49:46 I'm looking to get a new set of knives for the house like a block set. What brands should I check out that I can sharpen myself and will last awhile?
53:16 Have you ever smoked venison? And if so what extra fats would you add to help keep it juicy and moist?
56:14 When not using bbq sauces, what is your favorite sauce or gravy? Are you a bearnaise kinda guy?
