Believe it or not, we get asked a lot from customers and just BBQ enthusiast "How do you get to the Aaron Franklin level?" The answer, is ultimately, surround yourself around great teachers and develop a winning process.

Episode 14: One of the best brisket bites I've ever eaten comes from the talented Brendan Lamb of Smiley's BBQ in Ponder, Tx. Watch as he talks us through trimming a few briskets. This fella can cook! Quetorials is a partner and participates in a super educational Texas BBQ class for aspiring restaurant owners and backyard folks. Until now, it has been an invite selection process due to limited slots. The class will be open for registration for the first time to the public on Wednesday, May 1. We have some of the top pitmasters and successful BBQ restaurant folks in the country.

Before you get out your tools to build a BBQ smoker, or if you're shopping for an offset smoker, you might want to make sure you have some critical dimensions together. We take a look at Feldon's Calculator and discuss why you should not use this calculator to judge the ability of an offset smoker.

Episode 12 is the second part of a two part interview with Daniel Vaughn, BBQ editor of Texas Monthly. In all the discussion about great pit masters, great BBQ joints and great BBQ in general, Daniel Vaughn (@BBQsnob) and the team at Texas Monthly are really the key driver that has reinvigerated the hype around "WOW moment" BBQ.

This is part one of my two part interview with Daniel Vaughn, better known from his Twitter or Instagram handle @BBQsnob. He is an author, blogger and the BBQ editor of Texas Monthly Magazine, which happens to compile the most celebrated list of BBQ joints in the world. This meticulously compiled list of the top 50 best bbq joints in Texas, which comes out every four years, is not only a tourism driver for the state, but can make a restaurant owner an overnight celebrity.

Yep, its a talking head vlog, but if you are remotely interested in opening a restaurant operation, this will be worth your time to watch. We have so many conversations and get so many messages from people each week looking for input on opening a craft BBQ operation that making this video was inevitable. I discuss seven key components of opening a BBQ restaurant.

This is Episode #9 and a comprehensive look at getting your offset smoker ready for a cook. I think getting a good base for a cook is an essential process for success on a true stick burner. I took a new Primitive Pits Babe that just been tallow seasoned and took the firebox from cold (it is 25 degrees the entire vid) to ready for meat. NOTE: With the smoker never being burned before and tallow seasoned, the smoke seen on the video is referenced to as "good" and "lookin good." I am referring to the airflow, but the wind was not cooperating. The color of the smoke will or should become way more clear as the tallow burns off and the smoker gets naturally seasoned. I hope this helps. : ) Find me elsewhere here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequetorials/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/quetorials Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Quetorials/ These are the smokers and other live fire tools we build: Commercial Offsets by Primitive Pits: https://www.primitivepits.com Backyard offsets by Workhorse Pits https://www.workhorsepits.com Workhorse Pits Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workhorsepits/ Primitive Pits Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primitivepits/

The big box retailers are now knee deep into grilling and BBQ related products, but many don't have knowledgable staff and that can leave you feeling lost. It is super important to discover what your purpose is before buying a smoker or grill. Are you a passionate BBQ foodie that loves to cook or do you just want something to do before the big game comes on? I visited the Atlanta Grilling Company in Atlanta, GA and realized "specialized" retail for bbq is here and here to stay. I take a look at Yoder Smokers, Trager Grills, Kamado Joe, Myron Mixon cookers to get you started.

Just about every sporting good store or home improvement retailer sells BBQ smokers, grills and backyard cooking accessories these days. Most have multiple blue tooth temperature devices to attach to your cooking vessel, which monitor cook temps via a smart device. However, if you don't have a probe port on your grill or smoker, you're stuck with placing the wires under the door, which is not the best idea when cooking BBQ. Since adding BBQ tech to my grill and BBQ life in 2012, I realized that the probe ports that allow you to access the wall of your cooking vessel are really hard to find. Probe Ports CURRENTLY ON SALE for $16.00. It has been the best priced outlet to buy for two years: http://primitivepits.com/product/half-inch-probe-port/ Find me elsewhere here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequetorials/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/quetorials Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Quetorials/ These are the smokers and other live fire tools we build: Commercial Offsets by Primitive Pits: https://www.primitivepits.com Backyard offsets by Workhorse Pits https://www.workhorsepits.com Workhorse Pits Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workhorsepits/ Primitive Pits Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primitivepits/

The word "legend" is not in my everyday vocabulary, nevertheless Roy Perez is one of the last old school BBQ legends on earth. For 30-plus years he has been the pit-master, or fire maker at Kreuz (pronounced Krites) Market. As a matter of fact (before this video was released), if you Google pit-master, his image is the first to pop up. I just love the guy and he inspired me to dive deeper into Texas BBQ. Kreuz is one of my favorite stops. The dim lit room, the hollow noises ringing out of an old, block pit house is equivalent to my Picasso. I sat down with the legend as he granted me a rare interview. Many in the BBQ community would love to see Roy Perez inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame in 2019. He is truly a special character and I hope you enjoy this short interview. Here is where to nominate Roy for the BBQ Hall of fame: http://www.barbecuehalloffame.com/ I make all these vids on my lunch break or on occasion Sunday afternoons.

I had more fun making this vlog than I should have. However, I have a deep rooted philosophy within BBQ. Simple, yet important for the backyard cook. If you have no idea what your target is when cooking BBQ, then you might as well be cooking a shoe. If you want to smoke a Central Texas-style brisket, but you've never been or eaten an authentic Central Texas style brisket, then you probably have no gauge to go by. Part of the fun to me with BBQ is tasting something so succulent and delicious at a iconic BBQ spot and then heading to my backyard to see if I can't replicate it. I urge you to take a BBQ destination to Central Texas if you've never been. I have linked my five "go to spots" when I visit Central Texas. Of course you might only be able to catch a few due to their hours they keep, BUT eating at either of these five places will send you home ready to cook, or quit cooking LOL.

My buddy Jeff asked me to make some modifications to his Yoder offset BBQ smoker and I finally got around to doing it.

On Episode 3, I go the extra mile by seasoning a 250 gallon Primitive Pits BBQ smoker with beef tallow. A fellow BBQ nerd in Austin, Tx put me on this process eight or nine years ago and I noticed it definitely was an improvement from the PAM spray oil I was using. I did not go into the importance of cleaning your BBQ smoker regularly, especially if you haven't used it in a while. Bacteria and mold will grow quickly and no one wants a mold infused brisket! I clean my smokers after a cook and again before I cook, unless I am cooking back to back within a week. So, I may season my cookers several times a year.

Episode # 2: Yoder Wichita Modification We love to tinker and tear stuff up in the hopes that putting it back together means improvement. We took my buddy Jeff's Yoder Wichita for a test spin and decided to makes some modifications. BBQ, to me is just always the pursuit of outstanding results. So sometimes the tools and technique need a tweak. I make all these vids on my lunch break or on occasion Sunday afternoons.

Episode #1 kicks off with BBQ Competition 101 with John Hale. I've never been into BBQ competitions and turned my nose up to them for years. Maybe its because to me, BBQ isn't a sport. I could make 10 videos on just that debate alone. However, the past few years I've warmed up to the BBQ competition scene. I think for me the most important aspect of BBQ competitions, is to know how amateurs can enter a competition and what they should expect. It's not something that feels warm and inviting based on the pressure of embarrassment, humility and not performing. So, first step is to dive into the overall scope of BBQ competitions to see if we can just figure them out.
