Hey guys/gals just thought I would drop a link to my YouTube channel. I've been meaning to create a channel for quite sometime but either didn't have the motivation or time. Back in July I finally broke out a camera and an ancient MacBook Pro to edit with. Our first two episodes are a little bit on the rough side (think: Dad just got a video camera) and I've learned a lot during the process. So far our episodes have mainly focused on BBQing/smoking stuff but we plan on brewing and doing more outdoor AK type stuff. It's been a heck of a lot of fun putting it all together. Planning on filming this weekend while I brew a batch and highlight the Kal clone that I built.

Hope you all enjoy the videos.

Subscribed and enjoyed the rib vid! (haven't watched the others yet Mug )


I can't wait to try your method...I usually smoke for several hours then place them in apple juice to steam for awhile, which produces a tasty rib, but one that the bones fall out of.

What are you using as the rub?? (inquiring minds want to know Smile )

I generally use Kosmo's stuff and have had great results. My wife and I use to compete in KCBS competitions and have done fairly well. I'm a big fan of Kosmo's Dirty Bird and Killer Bee Chipotle. I believe in the video we also used some Cimmaron Doc's Sweet Rib rub.

I've tried all sorts of methods for doing ribs and this one consistently gets great results. For competitions you are looking to get a clean bite with a little tug on the rib. If you get fall off the bone then you've cooked it too much. Now that's the nice thing about the foil. If your neighbors want fall off the bone then just keep it in the foil a little bit longer and you'll see the meat will really start to pull back from the bone.

Thanks for subscribing. This weekend we'll post a the burnt end episode.

Brisket is a tough meat to cook. I've done real well a handful of times. Usually if I go with a prime brisket I'll be good to go. I've tried Franklin's butcher paper method and I'm not a big fan. I usually wrap at 160 and keep it in foil until it hit's around 203 or until you can put the thermo-pen through the meat like butter. Usually when I wrap it I throw 2x small cans of heated beef consume into the foil and then cook the brisket top side down just so the meat cooks in the consume. Bark ends up moist but it seems to me you got to choose moist bark or dried out brisket. I like using the Texas Cow Cover on my brisket.

Ribs are by far my best and favorite of the 4 competition meats to cook.

That's a safe bet. I would much rather cook ribs, chicken, or pork butts than brisket. A great brisket is something else but at $65 for a choice packer brisket it's not worth the hassle.

Yeah I've got a starter going right now made out of gen3 munich lager yeast. I think I'm actually going to film a lot of the stuff and try to edit it down and make it more an infomercial on my electric brewery. Of course I'll direct people to this website.

Good luck on the brew and be sure to check out this weekend's episode.

Rick I've got a large Big Green Egg and I've also got 2x Stumps vertical feed smokers. http://www.stumpssmokers.com/ I'm really happy with the Stumps (Baby and Stretch). They produce some great BBQ. I use a BBQ Guru (Digi-Q model) temperature controller. Really makes the thing set it and forget it. The pellet smokers are pretty nice in that they usually come with a fairly good temperature controller.

I'm told you don't get as good a smoke at cooler temps as you do at higher temperatures with a pellet cooker. I have never cooked on a pellet smoker so I can't say it is a fact. I do like the versatility that I've got on my vertical feed smokers. I can cold smoke sausage, salmon, and smoke hot and fast BBQ if I want to. It's also nice having all that room for smoking turkeys for Thanksgiving.

Great info...I've got a Trager pellet and a Hasty Bake for steaks, tried the Primo (BGE clone) but hated the explosion of VOCs if you opened the lid (not sure about the BGE w/ VOCs).

Local guy builds grills like Franklin's with an off-set fire box, but I don't know if it would be worth the trouble trying to find hardwood in our land of the pines Crying or Very sad

I've got two racks of ribs in the fridge for the grill tomorrow (your recipe...wife was ecstatic that she could chew the meat off the bones!), and struck out on finding a point for the burnt ends...beef roast going on to be sliced up for sandwiches.

oh, yeah...Kal's Two Hearted on tap for the day Thumbs Up

Just equal parts of each. If you use 1oz of sauce then combine w/ 1oz margarine.

We're now up to 10 videos and a channel trailer.
Check out the caribou burger video. Made some pimento cheese and caramelized onions to top off some tasty caribou burgers. https://youtu.be/VBqsBOg1MNk

Friends keep asking me to make a basic beer brewing video too. We'll see.
