Aaron Franklin PK Grill First Look | Mad Scientist BBQ

[@danielrowe2174]

I think for the majority of us the Old faithful Weber 22 kettle is the way to go it's simple, practical an affordable. Great for the beginner and loved by veterans of barbecue.

Same and even if you don't take care of them they last 10 years.

That's what I used for my first year before moving to a cheap offset I got online that was at least higher quality than the home depot junk i'd otherwise have been stuck with. I've been making food on it that's just as good as what my friend and I were able to make on his Oklahoma Joe's using the exact same wood over the 4th of July. Burning that clean fire really does make all the difference, and burning pure wood make such an improvement as well

I still have my grandfather's PK grill from the 50's.

[@emmgeevideo]

I lusted over the PK as an add-on to my pellet smoker for honest-to-goodness grilling. But my head was turned by the big red kamado grill. I loved it so much I never used the pellet smoker and now it’s been adopted by a friend. My kamado grill does excellent hot and fast and low and slow. I don’t see any particular advantage of the PK over a Weber grill at half the price. I’ll be interested in seeing what Jeremy does with it.

[@rototiller78]

This is their new updated original pk grill with the teal blue color and Aaron Franklin badge on it. I have the original pk grill and I love it

[@TraderRoss]

I grew up using a original PK grill that was my parents. For holidays my dad would come over & we would smoke a turkey on it. As I got older I would cook myself on it. I used it until I was about 18. It needed the inside racks to be replaced. Life got busy & it sat around for years & years. When we cleaned moms house out I took it to my property for future use one day. I can't have a grill were I live right now. The body was well built the aluminum frame needs a little love but one day it will smoke again. I can't remember who's video but somewhere there's a history lesson on them. Be awesome to see you cook on it.

[@sidpopejoy500]

I had the same experience. Dad bought it probably mid-60s. My sister still uses it occasionally. Definitely burned out a few grates.

[@ChuckReynolds]

I have that new PK original 300 whatever.... couple months after I got it the Franklin one was announced. The ONLY difference is the color, the front shelf, the left shelf (mine only has right), and the little shelf brackets underneath... mine has the holes for them... so if you don't want your brackets I could mount them on mine... but.... that's it. nothing else is different. So you're buying some shelves and brackets and a different powdercoat and a badge. Anyway... PK grills are awesome... definitely love mine... amazing improvements from the original... for the price... best option.

[@michaelmilitello5644]

I like the ash covers but there’s still nothing that can touch Weber’s ash clean out system. That’s makes maintenance and ease of use so much better.

[@Wheres-Wolfie]

Just wanted to say thanks for your videos! My briskets are killer after picking up tips from you! Thanks man!

[@TheFishingfool25]

I have the PK360 and it is by far my favorite. I also have a Weber Master Touch and a Pitt Barrel Cooker. All have there pros and cons, be it price, accessories, or ease of use. I find myself using the PK 360 more often, because of the heat retention and ease of temperature control for my needs but $$$$ . A close second is the Pit Barrel Cooker, for ribs and chicken. If I could only chose two those would be my choices. The Webber is a classic though. No matter the grill, I enjoy cooking outdoors.

[@robbdgaf1768]

Hell yeah to the pit barrell, I love mine... Im thinking bout getting a PK300 too just for quicker smaller cooks

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Was going to buy one here in Australia a couple weeks ago I think its the PK 360, but at $1599 I thought a bit of a rip off so I bought a fully optioned SNS grill with every attachment imaginable for less than $800, best bbq I’ve bought, so versatile

Get the 26 inch Weber Kettle instead. Inexpensive and a game changer for those with a 22 kettle. BTW the chamber on this doesn't leave much room between the grate and the coals it seems.

[@tfries72]

It seems like the Weber 22 has significantly more rack space would you say that there is adequate space for when you are grilling out when guests are over? The PK seems great for everyday grilling if you have a small family but if you have the whole family over for Sunday dinner idk if it can handle the workload efficiently

[@ShrednESP]

I have always liked to overall shape of the pk. Nice to set up indirect cooking, that being said to me $500 for the new and $700 for the AF is a bit much. For me a 22" weber kettle or a 26" kettle is fine. I had and old 22 for years and replaced it with my 26.

[@peteferguson7024]

I was lucky enough to find an old dutchess cooker, which I refurbished and saved from the scrapyard, that I think was originally a PK.... no instructions came with it though. Lol. Similar features. Can't wait to see what you can bbq on it. Thanks

[@brandonnickerson8934]

No doubt PKs are robust and reliable, but it's all fun and games until you clean out a pk360. What a pita. That is an all out hipster grill. Only thing missing is a pbr can holder. Hahaha I've had many nice grills, eggs even. I love my large egg for baking, but my 26" Weber kettle is absolutely awesome. It comes with the ss hinged grate, baskets, everything you would need. I beefed it up with 5 ci mangrates and don't move it around. The vortex makes it a wing machine. The jump from 22" to 26" diameter was the best thing I ever did in upgrades. Jeremy as a fellow bbq science nerd, and science nerd in general, you gotta get your hands on a Karubecue and Black and Decker Alligator saw. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@deveus1]

Whenever I'm putting something like this together, i usually remove all the screws from the bags and sort them by size as one of the first steps. It helps me count them and compare them to the parts list (if there is one). Also, a lot of times you can kinda count the holes and count the screws and figure out what goes where. That being said, i'm really bad at putting stuff like this together, so maybe my tip isn't that good. :D

[@foodonfire3662]

While the PK is a very good grill, celebrity endorsements/models are almost always a way to distract buyers from looking at what really matters. For $700 one can do much, much better. A Bronco Pro is a good example. It will truly grill (on 2 levels), and will really do low and slow (10+ hours, unattended) and can cook 9 racks of ribs or 12 half-chickens, and do cold smoking as well. The Bronco has 20% more cooking surface (that's only using 1 grate... it supports 2) and (like the PK) is built like a tank. More fuel efficient, more capable, supports use of a water pan when desired and so is much, much more versatile. Price? $700. After more than 50 years of grilling and owning numerous grills and 6 kamados, I have found that a high quality drum smoker is the best overall option for anyone looking for a truly capable backyard grill/smoker/roaster that doesn't compromise on any of those functions.

[@davetarrant6888]

When you say “high quality drum smoker” are you referring to an upright drum smoker, like the ugly drum smoker?

[@foodonfire3662]

@@davetarrant6888 The Bronco Pro is indeed a drum smoker. The UDS is much more basic. I didn't cover all the design features that make the Bronco my favorite drum. Best ash management, clean-out cup at bottom allows power wash which will drain out, etc. If your budget doesn't allow for the Pro you can get the little brother (the one I have for only $350. Kinda makes the Franklin PK an absurd option.

[@davetarrant6888]

@@foodonfire3662 Thanks, I looked up the Bronco Pro and it looks like a great system. I have a UDS that I built in 2009! I used it quite a bit back then but kind of lost interest after a while. Started watching some YT videos recently and was thinking about maybe getting back into BBQ a little bit. One thing that you hear a lot of guys say, is you need that clean blue smoke to get good BBQ. I alway felt like it was impossible to get clean smoke out of my UDS because it has so little oxygen. What are your thought on the smoke with the Bronco?

[@foodonfire3662]

​@@davetarrant6888 Gas grills, charcoal grills, drums, off-sets, kamados & pellet grills. They all cook differently with varying degrees of overlap. Some, especially the off-sets, produce a unique result when it comes to smoke flavor. Drums are known for their design which invites meat drippings to fall directly onto the coals and thereby produce a distinct flavor and aroma. If you just want the smoke from wood chunks you've added to the charcoal then use either a simple drip pan or a drip pan with water. The Bronco does not suffer from air restriction as some drums may. My Bronco (and Big Joe) are driven by a fan controller that gives 100% reproducible results from 170℉ to 450℉. I've been using these controllers since BBQ Guru introduced their first product. My current unit is a FireBoard (1st Gen) which has no equal that I can find. I recently bought a Meater+ which I bought to use on a rotisserie. It was a major disappointment. The bluetooth failed to reach 40 feet with line-of-sight through a window. I also really disliked the software which is a major part of any thermometer system and of course it cannot control a fan. So again, if I could only have ONE cooker to GRILL, SMOKE LOW&SLOW, COLD SMOKE, and ROAST it would be a drum (Bronco Pro) with a fan controller (FireBoard). Good luck.

[@firghteningtruth7173]

Technically, its only like 300 extra. As a normal pk grill goes for like 400. But yeaaaaa. Bro, if you cant adapt a weber or weber clone... I guess you gotta buy this. Edit: these ARE what like every competition guy uses for steaks. And it seems hes made a few quality of life improvements... Buuut. Just learn to adapt your cooking rather than buy something to make it essentially idiot proof. Youll be better off for it. Ill put my tomahawk on my shitty half barrel grill up against any pk. But thats just me. 🤷‍♂️ I also personally, prefer Coopers to Franklins. Not that I dont like stick burnt brisket...Coopers is just amazing. La bbq/muellers (the old muellers that doesnt exist anymore...saw franklin behind the counter there...I remember bc when I walked in the guy behind the counter looked more like he was interested in goldeneye than brisket) or franklins all come to like a 9.5-9.8 out of 10. Coopers (llano) is my 10. Amd if you go on the right day, you can get the same experience on 3rd. That Coopers rib, tho. The dip ( I know some dont like the sauce...I LOVE IT)...the smoked sirloin to go with the brisket...and the brisket is basically snows. Same process. So. Friggin. Good. Its a damn shame that style of pit is illegal in austin now (cuz berts burnt down) and the only grandfathered pit is essentially gone. (house park, tho, they did VERY little to the meat. Very bare bones and let the meat shine...i dun even think they use pepper) Le sigh. I dont even think Coopers is cooked here. I think they ship it in every day. As you cant use that pit in austin, let alone on 3rd. Im not gonna lie, tho. Its an up/down experience at the austin location, whereas Ive never had a mediocre experience in Llano. Franklins is great. Love it. I aint waitin 4 hrs tho. I dont even have time to do that. Place is essentially the guiness factory. Irish dont go there or drink that beer. Its a tourist thing. Many more options. La bbq, valentinas, blacks (on the drag...dunno bout the other)...browns (trailer on lamar)...new one opposite crockett I heard was good... L+L...even county line...good god. We live in BBQ Mecca. No reason to derp it up for 4 hrs in a line. 1 caveat. Rudys is fast food bbq. Smokey moes, same. Bill miller is for SAVAGES. And the damn Salt Lick is overrated too. I said it. Only thing worth there is the all u can eat plate. They use a honey mustardish sauce I am not a fan of. My uncle came and was set on it. Disappointed. Til I made him some ribs. 😁 Dino, of course. (this cut has the extra meat that coopers and a few other places use. If you just get beef ribs itll be seperated and used as a ribeye cut.) Alternatively, just head to lockhart and throw a rock. Youll find yourself in heaven if you follow said rock. As youll hit a centex bbq spot pretty much indefinitely. 🤣 Just 1 mans humble opinion.

Isn’t it kinda odd that they have a pic of Aaron Franklin next to a Franklin Offset on the box for PK Grill?

I spy a Burch Barrel in the background…hope that makes it into some future content!

[@MadScientistBBQ]

Count on it. Been messing around with it and I love that thing…
