Good comment 👍.

[@14hnguyen]

Some of the best guys I’ve met on my bbq crawl in Texas. They invited me back and hang out with them a couple hours before service, answered all my questions, and even cut a brisket right in the back of the pit room to try. When the lines started forming, they walked me out and said I was first in line just out back, handed me a shirt and stickers. We got our tray, the owners came back out to check on us and asked why we didn’t get their flavo tacos…. 10 min later, brought our group some tacos and said, eat it!

Panther City is my #1 favorite of all the BBQ spots in FW, definitely go give it a try if you haven’t!

[@cybernode33]

As a previous Traeger+ user, I must say, switching to Asmoke has been a game-changer. The precision and consistency in temperature control have not only elevated my BBQ game but also made the experience more enjoyable. The versatile flavor profiles achievable with different wood pellets have brought a whole new dimension to my grilling. The best part? The portability! It's battery-powered and perfect for outings. Asmoke has truly revolutionized my grilling experience. I'm impressed with the ASCA™ technology and the FlameTech patent, which have made my BBQs more efficient and my cleaning easier. Plus, the remote temperature adjustment and food temperature monitoring via the app are just the cherry on top. For all BBQ lovers out there, Asmoke is definitely worth trying! #Asmoke.

[@wut2404]

Love Panther City BBQ. I'd eat it every day if I could.

[@journeywiththerocks]

Thanks for showcasing this. I most definitely gotta stop here when I visit

[@cybernode33]

As a previous Qstoves user, switching to Asmoke has been a game-changer for me. The convenience offered by the digital controller that provides precise temperature control is unmatched. I also love the versatility of Asmoke, being able to grill, smoke, roast, and even bake is a huge plus. The wood pellets used in Asmoke add a distinct smoky flavor which has taken my BBQ game to the next level. It's also amazing how it's battery-powered and portable, making it ideal for outings. The rechargeable battery offers up to 10 hours of runtime, which is more than enough for a BBQ session. The Asmoke Essential has not only improved my barbecuing experience but has also made it more enjoyable. #Asmoke

It's awesome that you could save history and keep that building. So many old buildings get torn down. The history is lost.

[@cybernode33]

As a previous Traeger+ user, I've been on the lookout for a better grilling experience. That's when I came across Asmoke. It was a game changer! The temperature control is way more precise, ensuring my BBQ is always cooked to perfection. The variety of wood pellet flavors available adds a unique and exciting dimension to my grilling. Not to mention, it's rechargeable and portable, making it perfect for outings and tailgating. Plus, the app makes it so convenient to monitor and adjust the temperature, even when I'm away from the grill. I've truly enjoyed my transition to Asmoke. It has certainly elevated my BBQ game and I can't wait to try more recipes with it. #Asmoke

[@cybernode33]

I've been an avid griller for years, and when I first heard about pellet grills, I was intrigued. I started with a Qstoves, which was good, but then I discovered Asmoke. The difference was like night and day. With Asmoke's ASCA™ technology, I found my cooking results improved dramatically; I could control the temperature within 5°F and the cooking process was so much more efficient. Plus, the variety of wood pellet flavors added a new dimension to my barbecue. The convenience of using a pellet grill with such precise temperature control has changed the way I grill. Now, I can experiment with different recipes and flavors, and each time the results are consistently delicious. The portability of Asmoke has also made it my go-to grill for outings, I can't imagine my outdoor adventures without it. #Asmoke

[@russellridge8623]

These guys are knocking it out of the park. None of that gimmicky tallow crap. That kills flavor if you rest more than a few hours. And the best briskets rest 6-10 hrs. Very few of the best competition BBQ cooks transfer into restaurants. Lot of extra work and steps compared to common salt/pepper strip mined stuff flooding the state. This is step above like Valentinos in Buda. You’re not selling 500+ briskets a week if you’re not top shelf. Closed on Monday and Tuesday so over 100 a day. Plus ribs, burgers, pork, etc.

I've used Traeger+ in the past, but I've recently switched to Asmoke and it's been a game changer. The temperature control on the Asmoke is far superior, with the FlameTech patent ensuring precision within 5°F. This has made my barbecue not just better, but more consistent. The ASCA™ technology also makes cleaning a breeze, which was always a pain with my old Traeger+. Also, I appreciate the remote temperature adjustment and food temperature monitoring via the app. It makes it so much easier to juggle hosting duties at a BBQ. Plus, the Asmoke is just so portable. It's great for outings and road trips. All in all, Asmoke has really changed my BBQ experience for the better. #Asmoke

@@milochapman5804 Can’t wait to see your nasty butter or tallow food highlighted anywhere. Tallow is a stupid gimmick spread on internet.

You have no idea what they do in the back to give you a delicious bite.

[@Harryhyde69]

The margarine trick is actually more old school than tallow. The reseason at wrap is something I have been doing for the last five years after watching a competition BBQ video. Cool to see these guys doing it. The pork butts need some more love in my opinion but then again I don't live in Texas. The NW loves pork butt with a sweet an sour kick. The ribs and sausages here are things I must try. Great video. I didn't hear what wood they use. I assume it's post oak but I could see these guys using a blend of post oak and mesquite given their flavor profile.
