GUGAAAAAAA!!

LOL! I was saving the second for you brother!

[@dauwse]

Love the new editing mate. Can I offer some feedback? I feel the last few vids have ended a little abruptly. No emphasis on the end product like your previous work. Top content as always though man.

[@BallisticBBQ]

I've been testing things out by putting the taste at the very front end. The majority of my views are from non-subscribers and the view retention plummets before the taste test on all of my videos. It was suggested to me during a consultation with a very well known YT "expert" that I not have the taste test at all, because YT bases suggested videos off of retention. I actually love doing the taste, so the compromise was to put it at the front end. I'm just sort of BETA testing this theory right now. I appreciate the feedback!

[@hanalei412002]

@@BallisticBBQ why not add more details of your cook in your text I always feel that it is helpful when you cut things down on video but add in your tips and tricks through text in your description. Love this video. You saved me so much time not messing around with another grill after smoking it. Cheers

[@David-burrito]

@@BallisticBBQ I always appreciate it when you taste at the end, say "Cheers" and show us (me?) what you're drinking.

[@ahmikjones]

I miss you eating it and describing what you like about it at the end as well even if the expert says you shouldn’t.

[@poppalax]

I agree with the expert, but appealing to the more hardcore fans is important as well. I would bet all hardcore fans stay for the taste test. The hardcore fans are also the same ones that would buy the book. Just my opinion.

[@toddarnold2370]

Was curious to know how long it took for the cuts to get to 125*. Thanks.

[@jeddy5052]

Greg the king! I'd like to see your old format for videos, even if it doesn't get as many views, the rub prep, taste test, beer, they're all appreciated.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Cool looking rub bro!!! Man, my mouth is watering! I like how you edited this video too. Ok, time to go find me a nice Prime ribeye..... Cheers brother Greg!!!

[@brainlicker1]

5:14 Am and watching a Ribeye Steak on the pit barrel..... What a morning.

Awesome steaks, Greg. I love what you are doing with your editing too. Nice job.

I can’t wait to try this. It’s a basic, simple outstanding cook. That coffee rub sounds fantastic. Even I can’t mess this up.

Beautiful bark, wall to wall medium rare. Nice job!

[@tomstestkitchen]

Adding the splits is a great idea, never thought of doing that. Steaks looked amazing Greg!

[@handcannon1388]

Now I want a ribeye. Those looked perfect! Dill is good on beef. So is a little dried basil. I usually add one or the other to my steaks prior to cooking (along with several other spices). Have a great day.

[@hammer911tube]

Hi, Greg. Hello to you from the cold Russian north. I've been a fan of your channel for probably more than year now. I love the look of these steaks and the way you made them. But I'd like to leave some feedback on the new editing. The videos without tasting the meal at the end seem to be sterile and abruptly ended. And they are also very short. I love to enjoy and spend some time watching you cook and listening to you speak. And the tasting and hearing you describe the taste at the end and how satisfied you are or would you try it a little bit different the next time - this is what gives to me satisfaction as a viewer. I noticed the tasting part at the beginning of the video but it feels more like a short preview but not the part itself. Anyway nice that you're trying something new and I hope you'll find the way to do it right. Cheers and thanks for your great videos!

[@KowboyUSA]

Some cowboy coffee seasoning for the win!

[@chrisberry3146]

Hi Greg First time commentating on your Chanel. I have been watching you for years. Love the video. I go by BBQ Porker aka John T

[@TheFlatlander440]

Steaks looked really good Greg. But I will say that I prefer you doing the taste test after the cook at the end of the vid. I know you've changed it up, but it just seems to be more natural. Just my two cents worth. Cheers!

[@bobbywade3069]

Forgive my ignorance as I’ve never done this before, but will the splits damage the barrel in any way?

[@BBQRando]

[@ronevans3308]

Hey Greg, how does the rebar control temperature? Since you're not hanging anything off of them why do you still install them before putting the lid on?

[@Just4CaliJames]

was wondering the very same thing

[@danielarchibald3247]

They designed it that way. The rear reduces the airflow so when bottom damper is set for your altitude it sets it to run at a certain temperature. Will run hotter with rebar out

[@BallisticBBQ]

As Daniel explained below, the rebar restricts the airflow through the holes that they are poking through.

[@richo2501]

Is there anything a pit barrel cooker can't do? Doesn't look like it. Love how you out the splits in there. I'm definitely trying that!

[@janisaus000]

How long to get 125?

[@kerryc.7438]

I tried to do a London broil on the PBC yesterday, it came out like sh#?t , it over cooked and never charred, that was a great idea the after burner ! I’ll do that next time !

How long did you smoke it to get to 120?

[@falconejo]

I went on your amazon page but could not find the plastic tray you were using. Where can I find it?

[@okbookguy]

Hi Ballistic BBQ. HELP! I tried to use BnB orange bag twice now on my pbc. First time I started it just like I do with KBB. It to forever to get hot and I was having to crack the lid about every hour or so to keep it from nose diving. After 7 hours I was surprised to find only half the coals had caught on fire! 2nd time was better. I let the coals in the chimney until they were all white. Then I left the lid cracked until it got up to around 165 of so. Then I hung the food and still let the lid cracked open until the temps had restored. Then closed the lid food the first time. The results were much better for about 3.5 hours. It was rock solid at 270 for 3 to 4 hours when it started to dive. There was about 1/3 coals that hadn't caught on so I stirred them up. That brought the temps back up around 250 but it didn't stay there. It slowly dropped the rest of the time. I know this kind of interaction is not typical with the pbc. What could I be doing wrong with BnB in the pbc?

[@rogerrtewwr4723]

damn nice crust

[@lucasd7250]

quick question, do you use just freshly ground coffee from beans? cheers

[@leroyclutter9435]

Awesome

[@wesleybullock814]

Beautiful

[@okbookguy]

@Ballistic BBQ!!! I'd like to know more details of your searing method. I see how you got the PBC hot and all. But how long did you sear them on each side? I was also wanted to know if this is what is meant by "Reverse Searing"??? Thank you for time and information!!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I go 1-minute per side. If you bring up the temp, and then sear at the end it is called, "Reverse Searing." If you sear first, then bring up the interior temp of the steak this is a "Forward Sear."

That looks so good Greg, and your rub recipe I have to try, but 2lb for two people, no way down under. I once took the 1kg ( 2.2lb ) challenge at the Sundowner Hotel in Whyalla, South Australia. I earned my stripes. The next day I belched in the 4WD, and everybody winds their windows down and accused me of letting rip. Ah ... such a proud moment : )

[@rwbimbie5854]

2.2lb steak? Nahh Yall should try a nice 1.3lb Texas Cut Ribeye, leaves room for beer and some ranch beans to go with it.

[@beaugunn2632]

@@rwbimbie5854 ... I couldn't agree more. This definitely was a case of quantity over quality. When it is served to you, you are encouraged to help your self to the salad bar .... Yeh, sure. These days, it is rib-eye on the BBQ or nothing.
