THIS WAS MY FAVORITE BBQ COMPETITION I'VE BEEN TO!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I wish I was back at Lost Lagoon! Such a fun event!

[@adriansolis5362]

I was never too much into making BBQ, but I really enjoy these behind the scenes looks. So much more than I thought went into it. Keep up the good work!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!!

[@GerbyWorrior]

Great job Proud of you guys. Would love to see a video of your brisket comp trim.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I can definitely do that!

[@Piratelifebbq]

This looks like fun

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

It was so much fun out there!

[@lkapigian]

Solid Work my friend, appreciate you showing the good and not so, its all about being there

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Yes sir I will always keep it real with y’all! It’s a hard game but I love playing it!

[@robertbernal3180]

You did a great job on all your cooks👍🏽 . Everything looked so delicious you were getting me hungry and my mouth watery. I really liked your Drum Smokers had never seen them at work good video on it. Lots of competitors and you are a champ. You and your wife are winners.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much my brother! I appreciate you!

[@purehellduster360]

Congratulations on your call in brisket. they was some good looking boxes

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much!!

[@jacobkennedy2422]

Excellent job and video. Keep grinding, it will come when you least it expect it.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I appreciate you my man! We ain’t stopping!

[@s21299f]

I always do a layer of belle, light layer of hotspitality, and then a healthy layer of hospitality. Such a great combo.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Such a great combo!! I love it bro!

[@jasonwa]

That looks aswome!!❤

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

It was so awesome!

[@andrewpope204]

All your boxes looked awesome! Those ribs looked money, must of been some stiff competition!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

It was a tough field for sure! We will give it a go again!

[@wythirdeye]

This is a great video. Your brisket had a nice shine to it, without being overly saucy. Are you mixing sauce with the foil juices?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Yes sir EXACTLY! Thank you!

[@CharlesxManson]

Awesome work, one of these days would be awesome to get a step by step for brisket on the drum

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I can do that! I’ll get it done at one of our upcoming comps!

[@bubbahfd8735]

Really like your videos, have watched most of them. You using prime or wagyu brisket in your comps? They look great!!!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

It depends on what I find, but I’m completely down with a nice prime! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@marcmartinez5272]

Without giving too much of your secrets away…what is the base of that liquid you poured in with the ribs on the initial wrap?

[@ricardojsaldana]

Love these competition vlogs. For at home, do you guys prefer the gateway or the wsm? I recently got a WSM from my wife for my bday and love it.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you! I prefer the WSM tbh. Thinking of bringing it out next comp!

[@leonardlove8955]

That Banner from LTA Competition BBQ at 7:29 was looking kind of Spiffy with that GCS logo on it!!!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Yes sir!!

[@SmokeSergeantBBQ]

I saw a lot of people walking.. that was for sure a tough crowd to cook against.. I love the look of your boxes

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Those are the funnest ones to go to! I'll keep going!

[@SmokeSergeantBBQ]

@@GulfCoastSmoke oh 100%. I have cooked against Phil, Jason Sagmiller, Robert Smith, and alot of those guys a ton of time in Texas

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I love seeing those dudes drive into the event!

[@SmokeSergeantBBQ]

@@GulfCoastSmoke for sure. Man I wish you were coming to the royal

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

@@SmokeSergeantBBQ Me too, bro! Next year!

[@danjor45]

Great looking boxes! Seemed like a great event. I do have a question. What size pan are you using when you wrap the brisket? I find the half pans too small and full size too big for the drum. I have a Bronco Pro and homemade 22 inch UDS. Thanks!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

They are actually half pans! I trim my brisket pretty small for competitions!!

[@danjor45]

Got it. Thank you. By the way, we have a competition at the end of September and run a similar timeline. Would you mind sharing the turn in times from this event?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

@@danjor45 12 Chicken, 1 Ribs, 2 Pork, 3 Brisket!

[@danjor45]

@@GulfCoastSmoke appreciate the info. Ours is similar except for ribs @230 and brisket @4. Will probably still keep same timeline. Again, appreciate your time.

[@GirlDadBBQ]

Some killer looking boxes dude!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you my brother!

[@CTP-bbq-HundHutte]

Great video!! I luv the comp content

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I appreciate you my man!!

[@sabrenacantu7021]

Can’t wait to go back!!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Me either!

[@CyberSamurai84]

Question what does the basket u use for brisket do? Is it for shape or to handle brisket easier

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Both! I use it to keep its shape while it’s cooking but also so I can easily move it around!

[@CyberSamurai84]

@@GulfCoastSmoke thanks man. I'm getting back into comps and ur showing me stuff I never knew. Thx for tips and ur time

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I got you, bro!

It might be the last time you use the drum barrel smoker.

[@davidhelfrich2511]

That just makes me hungry. 😁🤗

Everything was incredible!

[@olyprospecting6419]

I think the judges are over Blues hog.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I got something up my sleeve! Let’s just say I don’t disagree!

[@DP-lx1jn]

Interesting. Are they leaning more savory?

[@mdelafuentes00]

I thought you had to keep the money muscle intacted with the pork shoulder?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

You do not, no sir!

[@mdelafuentes00]

@@GulfCoastSmoke Sounds good, I will remember that on the next comp.
