Click "Show More" below to open the description box for more info!

1:56 Could I make some chicken in a smoker, closed or open, and if I could what's the better way?
4:09 Have you ever tried Abita beer amber?
6:30 Do you ever or have you ever used Mesquite wood in any of your video cooks?
7:50 What made you decide on making bbq videos? Were you nervous or scared when you first started going them?
10:31 Why did you block the area behind your house with the fence? Because of the pool?
12:06 Hi, how can I preserve the crispness of pork?
13:34 I have an 18 inch WSM and I was wondering if you have ever used your WSM without the water pan?
15:17 What's your take on gas smokers?
17:46 I was wondering if it is possible for you to smoke a whole pig at one point?
19:12 I smoked brisket on the offset smoker for 12 hrs at 230F and it never reached 190F internal. Have you ever heard of this? Did I just get a bad brisket?
23:09 My question is actually a drink question. My wife is a Vodka drinker and a friend gave us a bottle of Texas Grapefruit Vodka. I need mixed drink ideas?
25:10 Have you messed around much with Beef Tallow/Leaf Lard/etc...perhaps in pursuit of trying to smoke up an old school meat pie from across the pond?
26:35 What type of wood is your fence, brand and color is the stain?
28:48 When you got your Yoder, did you use Affirm to make payments? I want to order mine, but keep stopping when it come to checking out because I don't know how the Affirm works with Yoder?
30:47 What kind of BBQ Sauce do you like to use? Like Original, Honey BBQ, Spicy BBQ, etc.
31:57 The last time you cooked a brisket on the WSM, you used store brand charcoal and it took way too long to cook. Can you cook another one using Kingsford Blue or the Weber charcoal in order to show us a correct cook?
33:25 Could you try another brisket cook wrapping with the butcher paper but using less as last time you said you thought double wrapping it had an effect on the bark?
35:56 Do you use a drip pan in your Yoder Wichita to catch grease drippings? And if not, then how often do you clean the inside of the cooking chamber and the cooking grates on your offset smoker.
39:30 I have a Yoder YS640 pellet smoker. When I got it, I did the burn off, then seasoned with bacon fat. But, I didn't coat everything inside the smoking chamber. Would you recommend doing this? Or just season with cooking? or both?
41:24 What do u think about the bbqpitboys channel?
42:04 Whats the most difficult thing you have done on the grill/smoker?
44:29 When you get your WSM up to temp and then put meat in and get a drop in temp, do you adjust vents to get back up to temp right away? Or do you allow it to get back up to temp on its own?
47:31 How do you choose your shirt/hat combo for the vids?
49:11 I purchased those Octoforks. Would you ever do a brisket using them?
