@JavaCorps I hate the 3 hrs wait. I want to bring better BBQ and less wait time to the Franklin Barbecue's customers. Is that so wrong? What's wrong with good old fashion competition? Franklin Barbecue Fanboy are willing to wait 3 hrs for Franklin's Tubesteak, because for every hour that you wait for your order, you're getting Fuc!! up the A$$ by Franklin. Your time must not be worth much for you to wait 3 hrs. I will be opening a BBQ restaurant and will be located within 100 yards of Franklin Barbecue. My BBQ joint will be a complete rip-off of Franklin Barbecue's recipes and I will only serve a maximum of 1,000 customers per day; however, my customers will only have to wait for 30 minutes maximum to get their delicious BBQ. I plan on spending $4 -$5 million to open this new BBQ joint. My business will be similar to Franklin Barbecue (almost a complete copy/rip-off) but just a maximum of 30 minutes wait time for our customers. The price of my BBQ items will only be 5% higher than Franklin Barbecue's prices. Would you pay 5% higher to be able to wait for only 30 minutes for similar grass fed BBQ beef?

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

Guess what, he's making them again! Both on here and for the PBS Foods channel, so check out both! He uses the BBQ with Franklin name over there as well with a logo in the thumbnail of every episode to indicate it's him, as well as the title of course. Makes it super easy to skim for the multiple different series they have on the channel

[@Pteromandias]

There are plenty of good bbq places full of "genuine, good people." The only reason he took off is because of his soyboy looks and somehow that got all the Austin lefties in a swoon, because finally they could eat bbq that wasn't made by those nasty Texas people outside the cloistered safety of Austin "weirdness."

[@wcpportfolio]

I smoked a pork butt today and it was absolutely fantastic with his recipe and also the timing with the foil. Shoulder blade came right off. It took exactly 8 hours to get to 200 degrees internal in an electric smoker at max power. I used minced garlic and onion and turned out fine.

[@Veritas21000]

Pork lends itself to a sweeter rub, beef lends itself better to the savory type rub like a simple salt and pepper rub. Good BBQ doesn't need sauce but it does work well with sauce and or a glaze. Franklin's BBQ is excellent as is many commercial run establishments in the South. But the best BBQ, and for that matter the best meals I've had was always made by the home cook with local ingredients and the care and love they put into it.

[@2138red]

I just finished making this for my family for 4th of July, and it turned out beautifully! Thanks for the tips Aaron!

[@Jelliott424]

Even when you don’t need to this guys vids are always a nice refresher

[@robertguzman2766]

I made this yesterday for the 4th of July, 1st time making pulled pork. Had an 8 lbs pork butt, followed the recipe/temperature almost exactly. Had the bark, fat separation around 5-6 hours, wrapped it and cooked until internal temperature was 205 Degrees F. It turned out amazing and juicy, the bark mixed in with the inside meat made it taste amazing. Good smoke flavor too. Started my fire at 4 AM, it was done around 12:30 PM. So a little over 8 hours cooking.

[@siroz1]

So my first attempt at pulled pork. So, I followed this to a T and guess what! Mr. Franklin you are the man. It did not last long at all. It came out so good and it did exacly as it should. Bone came out no issues, pulled right apart and the moisture of the meat was perfect. Just a great video on how to do this.

[@siroz1]

I used hickory. It was all I had at the time lol.

[@mangravy2000]

siroz1 FYI all reading this: Hickory is a classic wood to make ham. If you're looking for that taste then proceed if not use another wood.

[@siroz1]

Yes, hickory is good. I use on my ribs as well.

[@noahescamilla6675]

siroz1 Ed Floody ***** BBQwithFranklin Should I wait until the 5 hour mark to spritz down my pork butts, or should I be spraying them earlier than that? Thanks guys

[@denisereis4677]

Noah Escamilla Large pork cuts like butts and shoulders are full of fat. Its this fat, smoke and crust (Maillard reaction) which makes all meats taste good. I'm not a big spritzer because it stops or at least prolongs this crust and I'm just lazy. Pork is very forgiving and hard to mess up. But there is good pork and excellent pork. Try them both out and make some notes so you can replicate the one you like the most. It will probably be the roast that you were most hungry when you ate it. Have fun and I'm sure you're enjoying it as I type this.

[@mac8794]

Brother Franklin, you are a brilliant professor of culinary simplicity & excellence! Thrilled with this basic Central Texas style dry rub and "leave it alone technique"...just fantastic. I have used this approach on my offset as well as my Traeger. It is consistently rock solid. Perfect for guests & company since it will exceed expectations if done with simplicity & compliance.

[@fmyjob]

Franklin, I just wanted to say how happy I was with this recipe. I've cooked 3 pork shoulders now, one was a Memphis style, the other a Carolina style. I tried your method today. The cooking time was a little longer then expected. I was patient and The shoulder was cooked perfectly. The flavor was EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WISHING FOR! I hope you continue making videos in the future!

[@whatsupwithsteve]

That’s probably the best explanation I have ever seen. Love the breakdown of rub ingredients and even though I’ve done dozens of butts I never knew that tip about the fat splitting! .

[@JeiGaither]

2 a.m. this morning: HEB app showed delivery windows open TODAY. 2:01 a.m: Started trying to decide what to smoke on my Weber today. 2:45 a.m: Finished watching this video. 3:00 a.m.: Ordered Pork Butt from HEB. 9:30 a.m.: Received 9 lb. Pork Butt. 11:00 a.m.: Finished modifying my Weber Kettle to fit my new Thermoworks Billow (*of course* I couldn't find a stepper bit, but persevered w/ drill bits and a Dremel :). 11:30 a.m.: Had temp to 260°. Put Pork Butt on. 7:37 p.m.: Pulled finished Pork Butt off the heat (cooked to 202°, otherwise followed these instructions, almost exactly). 8:09 p.m.: Couldn't stand letting it rest anymore. Proceeded to shred/pull the whole chunk 'o meat. 9:00 p.m.: Finished eating WAY too much of the best pulled pork I've ever made (thanks to Aaron!!!), and putting away about 5 lbs. for leftovers. Must've lost over a lb. of total weight to liquid/fat rendering. Three of us must've eaten close to a pound each. I've made three briskets and this Pork Butt so far during the stay-at-home orders. Got pork ribs (babybacks) coming Tuesday, and will try not to eat them all in one sitting. :) God bless Texas. God bless BBQ.

[@timothybueschel7114]

I'm going to try it this weekend. Any advice?

[@molliesdad4702]

@@timothybueschel7114 The only advice I could give is to follow his instructions. Basic rub, 275 for about 5 hours, pull and double wrap in foil, put back on for about 3 hours or until it reached 195. I was not able to monitor it so it didn't get spritzed with anything and was still juicy. If you are going to be around it wouldn't hurt to spray it every hour for the first 5 hours. You will love it. It falls off of the bone and is great. Good Luck and be sure to let me know how it turned out.

[@timothybueschel7114]

@@molliesdad4702 ty, will do.

[@DirtNassty]

I do all my butts at 225-230 for an hour per pound! Also to expand on something he mentioned in this video... I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS leave my butts in the foil after they have reached 190-195 and wrap them tight in a towel and put it in a cooler for an hour before pulling it! Letting the meat rest is by far the most important part of the entire cook! Also when mine reaches about 160 when I go to wrap it I coat the top of it with brown sugar and honey to give it a little sweetness!

I use mustard on mine to help create the bark. However I would never question Aaron Franklin over BBQ so I've no doubt that tasted great. I pickle red onions to go with mine btw. Just slice the onion thin and in half and pickle in some vinegar and salt with a little sugar (I said a little!). A hour in the brine and they go great on the pork. Or on the side.

Great video Aaron. I've watched a lot of videos on youtube about smoking meat by far the one on your channels are the simplest and straight to the point videos. I made my own smoker since where Im from(Asuncion, Paraguay) I've never seen a smoker. I raise my own pigs and after 3 years I was trying to find someway of smoking pork similar to the way you guys do it up in the US. The hardest thing of smoking here in Paraguay is finding the correct wood to burn. I tried Ipe wood and I can say it has been the best smoked pork that I have ever tried. Thanks for all the tips.

The way his pork develops that bark with the basics in rub is unmatched. After watching so many other videos on how to do pork butt, none of them look as good as Aaron's. Think of it as Timothy Dalton to Sean Connery...Aaron is all lip smackin' classic James Bond and very simple and the real-deal...and having tried and see the process in person was spiritual for me.

Use what is local. If you are further up north you will want Apple or Cherry. Down south it is Oak, Hickory, and Mesquite. Don't just emulate the top chefs, if there is a local flavor or spice preference tie it into your meat. Good BBQ comes from the soul and your local culture is part of that.

Thank you for these videos. I do my BBQ on a 40 year old Weber Kettle with a flapper grille from Home Depot with a temperature gauge I installed in the lid. Other than that, I just did what Aaron does here and my butt is wonderful. I just keep it at around 275, maintain the smoke until the fat cracks, and wrap it and toss it in the oven ( since no smoke is required) pull it out at 190-200 degrees and rest it for a couple of hours. Its a bit more work maintaining even temp and smoke with the little Weber, but it works. BBQ is not such a black art as to be inaccessible to most folks, and these videos make that known. It's a bunch of work, but the reward is worth it, especially up here in MN where there isn't a whole lot of good BBQ available. BTW, ever notice how many people from around Austin have a nearly complete lack of the southern drawl? Aaron sounds like he could pass for being from Wisconsin or something.

First thing i ever cooked in my WSM. Watched the video 3 times. Followed the recipe exactly with a 9.5 lb pork butt. As my wife said, " This is the best pulled pork ive ever had." Unbelievably good and tender. Shredded it with a pair of tongs and a fork.

[@bawdhed7]

I’m glad you don’t put sugar/brown sugar in your rub. To me it doesn’t need it. Sugar tends to burn, no rub needs it in my opinion. At the end you’re most likely to put bbq sauce(sweet baby rays) on your finished shoulder- butt anyway. There’s you’re “add sugar to” right there. Nice rub by the way. Nice finish. Makes me hungry. Try biscuits and gravy(pulled pork) instead of the sausage in it. You will thank me. The flavor is amazing. Better than sausage in my opinion.

[@ecase727]

I followed these suggestions, from the rub, to the temp, and time (wait till the fat splits on the top and them wrap). This has turned out as the best pork I have ever done.

Please keep them coming and I need to come stand in line at your place the next time I'm in Austin.

I love it when people say Texas BBQ doesn’t do pork. Oh, we do, and it’s fantastic. First thing I order when I check out a new BBQ place: 1/4 lb straight pulled pork. No sauce. If that’s not great, I don’t even want to try your brisket. I’ll just get some sausage and try somewhere else next time.

[@nickhall1376]

you got a Texan, a vegan, and a crossfitter all in the same room, how do you know??? because they all tell you within the first 10 seconds

[@Insigzilla]

Hey! I'm Texan, and I... see what you did there...

[@texashippiecowboy8412]

Grundy Malone the vegan couldn’t kill a animal let alone another human and they are too weak from lack of protein lol

This is the first video I ever watched 10 years ago when I did my first low and slow..... here I am today going back to it because it's ROCK SOLID advice

[@BoTTanker]

I love this show. He’s like the bob ross of BBQ

[@Craig-ib7gk]

True that, save for Bob Ross liked blazing herb; Aaron just loves his beer. God Bless Texas.

[@algray8389]

I am a huge fan of Carolina style bbq. Dry Rub Ribs. I spritz with apple cider vinegar. My wife said that salt and pepper seasoned ribs are the best I have ever made. Aaron tells you what he likes and tells you to do what you like. I think that is why Aaron is one of my favorites to watch and gain knowledge from since there are no judgments.

[@riverwalkhomebuyers]

...since we're in Texas

[@saborguerito]

Thank you guys so much for explaining the details like why you let the meat rest so that the moisture doesn't escape I never really understood that part when I say let it rest. These are the instructions almost anyone would need to really do a good pork butt even in their own oven because I did this way with a combination of my oven and slow cooker. It was perfection!

[@stanirelandbig]

I worked a rodeo concert event , got set up with tent etc , when my boss told/ asked / surprised me to cook 10,000 lbs pork butt , I said I never had , he showed me a huge rotisserie , boxes of spices , and freezer truck of meat , at least I had a meat thermometer , he said you are smart you will work it out , OK , First Im going to need some beer , then a friend to talk to , then some more beer for friend , and cigarettes as he smokes , and some money for him as he is working. And a nice hotel room with pool when we are done with weekend , for 2 nights and dinner ,and more beer and cigarettes . We did the deal , had a lovely long night , security kept coming over when will it be ready , 4 am , then I do next batch . I slept maybe 4 hours in 2 days pretty good For my first time , the pork bone slid out clean , just so juicy its hard do mess a butt . yes I used the water method keep it moist.. he made 100G , I think my costs about a 3G, Ikept 2g should have asked for more than cigarettes.

This might be the worst story I've ever read.

[@sirgolfalot18]

Giving this a try tomorrow. Glad I found this video! Thanks Aaron for sharing your recipes!

“It’s a huge piece of meat, it can handle a lot of rub”

[@darrenXparker]

That’s what she said

[@sergioblanco6321]

@@darrenXparker damn it that was my joke

[@WheresMarkKnopfler]

I just finished an 8 hour smoke with an old style heavy weight pukka 20" Oklahoma Joe's smoker. I did the pulled pork with his Texas style bbq sauce. It was off the hook. There's hope for me yet.. Aaron, I may be up for doing an internship for a few weeks in Austin TX to get the hang of completely. It cost me the price of the pork butt + bunch of red oak. My wife loved it.

[@floyd4311]

This video makes me miss Texas!

[@nicotronproductions3049]

Thanks for the tips. I cooked pulled pork for first time and used your wrapping in tinfoil and grill technique. It was so useful and the bone came right off! Thanks again

[@jimunit333]

Come back to KZbin Aaron!

"annnnnd shred it to bitsies."

[@davidjessee7701]

That looked wonderful!! I could just see that piled on a big bun.. maybe spoon some slaw right on top.. yummmmm !!!

[@tinyondem1071]

sorry didnt catch that are you in texas by any chance ?????????????????

[@dss8503_]

Of course he's the pride of Texas!!

[@luphoxcastl]

Gotta emphasize because there's a lot of rivalry with states like Tennessee and the Carolinas. Those are the states that claim pork. TX is all about the beef, those other states are all about the pork. We don't do the same things, so I'm sure there will be people claiming he's not doing it "right".

[@bentackett6299]

He's in Texas?

[@bentackett6299]

What, do they like black pepper there or something?

[@tomb5819]

I watch this and follow it and my pork butts went from average to amazing. Aaron Franklin is the man for Texas Bar BQ!

[@eyesontheeye]

is it texas style? it wasnt clear for me...

[@jonathantate8103]

not really such a thing as a "Texas style" this is pretty much just his style of pulled pork.

[@billykwooten]

Uh....there is such a thing as "Texas style BBQ", obviously you've never been to Texas.

[@1primefs]

Frankie here from Mansfield, TX. I followed this video and made the best pulled pork I have ever made. I forgot to use a binder though. Bark probably would have been better. I'll do it next time. Everyone loved it though. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrYoumitube]

I'm glad they don't have screens you can smell from....watching this is torture to my taste buds.

[@joepuhel2428]

MrYoumitube long long time ago there was such a thing that was talked about called digi scents I don't know what ever happened to it...

[@stanleybarnette3159]

Used this method this weekend. Best pork shoulder I ever cooked. Thx for the video.
