#antsbbqcookout #BBQSTORY

[@AntsBBQCookout]

For bi-weekly BBQ content and behind the scenes from BBQ Story, sign up to my free newsletter ants-bbq-cookout.ck.page/596b1439f1 M&M BBQ Company is taking over the BBQ scene, with their beautiful designs and unmatched build quality. I couldnt believe how smooth and quiet their equipment was. Its no wonder, they're used by James Beard award winners, Michelin Chefs, and 10 of the Texas monthly top50 including 3 in the top 5!! It was an incredible experience to spend a couple days with Matt and Mike to see their equipment first hand and to hear their incredible story! They are super kind and humble hard working people and I'm glad I can say I knew them before they REALLY blew up 🤠😂 Hope you guys enjoy this one! The next bbq documentary will be in Brooklyn where im spending a week with Ruben at Bark BBQ! Take care, y'all✌️😁

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

They don't even understand basic physics......you don't build sideways because smoke rises. At a minimum, it should have a smoking area from above the ankle to just above your head. Like a cabinet. . Then you don't waste smoke and heat. This is an awful smoker they built. Just a joke. An inefficient design costs the user thousands of dollars a year because you burn much more wood, and you pay someone to put the extra wood in the smoker. I don't think I ever saw anything stupider. It's like a sacrifice to moloch. Waste heat and smoke every time they run the smoker. Which for a pro is hundreds of days a year. If you want it trailerable, make two six foot tall barrels and have a single fire box feeding both. Three foot diameter, and twelve total feet of height. And have them lay flat while it drives. Then set them vertical on site. And if that ain't enough, have a firebox in the middle of the trailer, feeding four stacks. Six foot tall and three feet wide towers. It would fit right on an 18 foot trailer, no prob.....and offer three foot diameter and 24' length. And not waste all the heat and smoke. These guys are buffoons....... Im stunned.

[@flobyboby84]

I'm loving the documentary style videos. You should be proud of these fr

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you!

[@aronj1072]

I second this. I think this is your lane.

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Not only functional, but their smokers are works of art

This is what America is all about. This is incredible to see.

[@RipVW68]

I love American ingenuity and excellence! Best boys!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

yeah they're killing it! 👏

[@nathanfullmer4823]

Super awesome to see how M&M started and just how genuine and good they are!🔥

[@AntsBBQCookout]

💯

[@JoshHennings]

This was really great. What a cool story that these guys have and seeing all the hard work over the years come to fruition.

[@gregh61]

I watch KZbin almost everynight. This is the most exciting video I have seen in years. I love smoking meats however I have a rusted out homemade offset that gets me by lol😅. So cool to know this shop is so close that produces such a top quality product. Gotta stop by one day for a tour, that would be amazing !

[@diegomoreno7263]

Loving these recent videos that are documentary style! Definitely some of the best bbq content out right now

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them. More to come!

[@gregh61]

Wow I live so close to this shop, great to know!

[@robertren4630]

Now that's an American company to be proud about! American ingenuity at its finest! I personally wish I had a reason to expand to one of their smokers. Great job on the video!!!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you! Yes, they are very adamant on keeping the pits 100% american regardless of cost. Super cool!

[@jeffreytaylor6257]

It's all about the engineering. Well done. JT

[@jeffreycruse9189]

Nice work guys and yes it takes tweaking a custom grill to get it right when building grills I took the advice of Jamie Gear when I saw him using biscuits to balance the heat

[@thomaswilliams6231]

The cables on your cantilever grill would look much nicer swedged than cable clamps. ❤️❤️❤️

[@johncarlson8125]

You build the best smokers hands down, good job boys

[@VDutATx]

Those are some killer looking pits, love to have one someday! Loving the documentaries man, you really have a knack for it!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Me too! And thank you, more to come!

[@ChiceauxLynch]

I’m not exactly sure what you changed, but this is…head to toe…the best video you’ve ever posted.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Wow, thanks! Glad to hear! I try and tighten up and improve my editing every video but the biggest difference is probably the music. Usually use video game track remixes but this one was like 95% epidemic sound

[@steveboling2515]

Incredible smokers! So happy to see Big Moe get the success he deserves.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Havent met him, but he seems like an awesome guy

[@danielmolina1708]

I enjoyed meeting him very nice big big man an got the honor of building his pit.

[@georgevalentin7404]

Man, i think i've commented this before, but i love your videos!!!

[@dougjacksonw]

Great job!

[@Breitman123]

Oh man, I am going to be stalking their website for that mini rotisserie!! Love this video.

[@danielmolina1708]

We've got 2 being built now so cute

[@ABB-bw6tc]

This is the ultimate boss level

[@32hernandez93]

Awesome entrepreneurs 😊

[@no_skool_bbq]

The M&M backyard prototype and backyard rotisserie caught my eye. I've been following M&M on their socials for a while now. I'm interested to see these products.

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

The only thing they're missing is a range of backyard direct heat pits. A 24x24", 32x24" and a 40x24" with multi-level racks from 12" from the bottom, to 24" from the bottom. ...of course for the commercial crowd, a 52x36" whole hog cookers. Great story...

[@jeffreygwinn5081]

Phenomenal!! Thanks for another good one!! One of these days I'll have one of the rotisserie pits!

[@strykerdatty]

These guys are AWESOME!! Down to earth 🌎 keep it real 💯 👌

[@doctajuice]

This is the pinnacle of bbq documentary filmmaking it's so crazy to me that it's just here on youtube free for anyone to watch. Keep on doing whatever style of video makes you happy bro I promise I'll watch

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Always appreciate the support, man! Thanks always for watching and commenting!

[@danieltre007]

It was cool to see the rotisserie for Blu Lacy Smokehouse.

[@williamparker6649]

This is such an amazing video! All your work is incredible. Loving this channel!🙏

[@Jolley_Barbecue]

Great detail in the video Sir. I’ve been seeing these guys for a few years and always knew the quality of their work is unmatched. M&M are top in the world for Texas style bbq cookers and definitely will be in my future business plans. Enjoyed this very much, Sir

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thanks so much, I agree with you, the MM guys are awesome!

[@LARRYGBBQGUY]

Cool channel and videos man, watched 4 in a row, subbed 👍🔥

[@davidvinson4681]

Absolutely loved your video, you helped me so much with my smokers. And I’m gonna make some changes to mine and they are for my own use at our restaurant. Oh, just watching your video I saw a lot of untold secrets, and. i’m going to put them to good use. i’ve always cooked on a pit, moving to Smoker’s which is a game changer. Maybe In the future I’ll be able to purchase one of yours.❤ BBQ

[@Michael-jk6nv]

You are the man! Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos Ant

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thanks for the kind words! makes all the effort worth it :)

[@michaelramirez344]

I use these oilers at work, they are amazing ! A breeze to use!

[@hotsaucejunkie]

that gold 500 offset is absolutely beautiful, its like an old school hot rod with those black wheels, uuuggh so nice

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I'm with you, that pit is bad!

[@hotsaucejunkie]

It's a lot cooler than my Old Country Pecos 😂@@AntsBBQCookout

[@danielmolina1708]

We called her Penny lol

[@glennevitt5250]

Thank you for this information 😎

[@AntsBBQCookout]

No problem!

[@-Flabbergasted-]

The fact that you don't have 1million subscribers blow my minde. Insane quality documentary

[@CoolJay77]

Great video production and content.. They seem like top notch smokers, with highly passionate people behind them.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

thank you, yes, Mike and Matt are awesome. I love making these videos with people who enjoy their work!

[@davidm8997]

Well done...thank you.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

😁🙏

[@eugenegray5141]

I need one of them good smokers, y'all made I love this 😀 and That Rotisserie one as well.👍🏻👍🏻

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Yeah I wanna get a rotisserie for sure, the offsets are crazy too though

[@Raider_Jimmy]

I need to get a loan and get me a 500 Gallon Pit From These Guys That’s Top of The Line Work Right There 👏💯🔥

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Lol I'm trying to do the same thing but with twin 500s on a trailer!

[@BoogieMT]

Dope video! Keep them coming big dog!!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Will do!

[@gregsavchuk3239]

Wow, super cool story, Thx!

[@andreastullgren7595]

Awsome video!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you 🙏

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

The pits look amazing. Hopefully one day i can get one.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I hope I can get a rotisserie sometime in the near future, I can't believe how good the food was on it, and how fast it cooked.

[@DP-lx1jn]

Im starting to save my money fpr the el nino and home rotissere now!!. Look amazing. I watched when Moe got the final call. I've been interested in M&M ever since

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thats awesome, i wanna go next year!

[@rokknow1746]

Amazing Video

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I had to eq out the wall cooler for half of the audio. So it messed with the voices. But theres CC i updated to help with the audio issues

[@JMario-kt9xk]

What a great video man! Lots of improvement in your videography chops!!!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

thank you!

[@smokescouts]

Great video. I really like M&M. I wish we could’ve seen the biscuit test results more clearly, especially the left half of the cooking surface vs. the right side, but I understand that was out of your control. EDIT: it looks like M&M will be showing those results on IG

[@AntsBBQCookout]

LOL actually that biscuit test was a complete fail. We had so much stuff going on at once, with the filming, cooking, and visitors that we completely lost track of the pit and it was in like the 350+ range when we came back 15-20 mins later. So yeah just look at the biscuit test on IG 😂

[@jaxxonjinx6763]

Who are y’all trying to feed a military base? 😂🤣😂

[@jj6devil]

Hoping one day to own some of these kickass tools!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

me too!

[@thatevoguy192]

Definitely a bucket list item for me. Would love to have one of their products in my backyard one day.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Feel you! I want a rotisserie, cant wait until the backyard unit comes out!

[@guilhermanacas]

Ant my man! Loved this video so much I'm double subscribing

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Hahahaha loving this subscribing storyline you've created. Theres a new episode of your journey every video 😂

[@bbqbueno]

Amazing content my friend

[@AntsBBQCookout]

🙏🙏

[@ryanmccarthy8625]

I don't know if there's a place like this around the Houston area but I'd definitely consider doing this for a living, if I ever got tired of where I'm currently working at.

[@deeboy84gradybaby24]

A travel size version of the box that could fit atleast one Brisket or full slab of ribs 👌🏽

[@AntsBBQCookout]

interesting!

[@cnoonan321]

That was basically a promotional video for M&M.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Its passionate people telling their story and sharing what they do. Of course theyre promoting themselves. Same as the other videos ive done in this style and will continue to do.

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Awesome,I got the Privilege of Helping a Crew in Memphis in May about20 years ago that got us Competing with the Bass Pro Cook-off in the Spring where we Won and got to Compete at the American Royal in Kansas City and I took 25 th in Pork smoking a Phatty where ya Put rub on Sausage and Encased cheddar cheese inside and Smoked! Give it a Try!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

that's great, congrats on placing!

[@johncarlson8125]

When do you start production on a back yard smoker

[@thegooniverse495]

Hopefully I can own one before I die!!!

[@rickramos8471]

Badass

[@AntsBBQCookout]

😤

[@schlogen]

How many of those Goldees pits were they in progress on?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

The first day i was there they got a shipment of the 100 gallon goldees tanks. I counted them but forgot how many in total. I think there were 6 in the shop and then like 30ish that just got delivered.

[@ketchupsos5817]

Love seeing the mexicans in the background at the end ahhahahahaha

[@AntsBBQCookout]

lol all the employees were chill and friendly

[@terrytytula]

Have you ever thought of producing an insulated cooker? Your units are beautiful, but the design couldn't be better for radiating heat.

[@mattyjmogul]

Awesome documentary, But that is Big Moe Cason NOT Tuffy until the last shot 😅😂

[@AntsBBQCookout]

The footage is from tuffys channel

[@Avasbarbecue]

What’s up from San Antonio, appreciate your work. I run backyard pop ups on my 250. Am looking at moberg, mill scale, big Phil’s for a 500 or so as I move to the food truck faze q1 next year. I think you just sold me on M&M. 👀🤙

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thanks so much! Blessings to your business! Hope you crush q1

[@slomotion5165]

My buddies dad is a old pipeliner, and he's been making the El Nino's as far as I can remember and I'm 43, you shouldn't tryin to patent it, y'all are late, and I'm from Georgetown Texas, not far from you, keep it up but y'all are not the first

[@aarondavidson6409]

All good, i never trust anything in the comments section. Thanks for the heads up anyway @@mmbbqcompany

[@BenFeldman-kz7gt]

Very interesting! So do you think the M&M rotisserie really cooks a better brisket than an offset? Goldee’s still isn’t using it for their main briskets right? Just ribs? When is the backyard one going to be available?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

i just think time is on the side of the offset. The technique has been dialed in over decades. I think restaurants will dial it in and it'll be able to go toe to toe with the offsets eventually. Backyard is about 6 months out. Thats a VERY loose estimate.

[@_newcreature]

I don't even comment much, but great video bro.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you bro! The engagement helps so i really appreciate it!

[@familyof4exploreuk]

Is there any way of getting a copy of texas monthly in the Uk 🇬🇧. Are they sold online at all?

[@tcbmellowd]

Let’s goo!

😤

[@AlaskaBrisketCo]

Haven’t even watched the video yet. Just wanted to comment to help boost these videos.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Appreciate the engagement! It really does help!

[@AlaskaBrisketCo]

@@AntsBBQCookout you’ve earned it my friend. Great great videos. I don’t ever share videos but I shared this one because people need to see these documentaries.

[@richsellskc]

burn four cords of post oak to cook a brisket or two. what does that cost??

[@78novacaine]

Why would you run a 250+ gallon cooker to smoke 1 or 2 briskets?

[@tigerjohnx]

Hey awesome content! What knife is that at 17:05? Thanks!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Appreciate that! It was a knife they gor from Moe Cason. I think it might be his signature knife or something. I have a clip of Mike's wife explaining it and showing the knife but it didnt make the final cut

[@tigerjohnx]

@AntsBBQCookout Awesome! Keep up the great content brother. I wish you the best.

[@copper4eva]

I wonder what their thoughts on brick made offset pits. Or maybe one made of refractory cement, or a combination. I assume such an offset would retain heat better, and be more efficient. Probably not as efficient as their rotisserie, because you'd still have heat escaping out of the exhaust as any offset. I noticed they said they use refractory cement in their fireboxes, which is really cool. I really agree having such strong insulation in the firebox helps. Takes longer to get hot of course, but once it is it's so easy to maintain temps and get new logs set on fire.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

great questions! you should hit them up on instagram. Yeah the fireboxes on the rotisseries are super efficient. For restaurants thye start the fire for opening day and never have to start the fire till the service week ends. It's crazy.

Why do Lockhart pits have offsets that date back to the 60’s?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Ask Daniel Vaughn, that's where Mike got his info from
