My new favorite...not only BBQ/cooking channel, but favorite youtube channel right now. Soooo much GREAT infomation! Being a fellow midwesterner/ Illinois is a plus too! So happy I ran into your channel looking for maxwell st polish videos! Thinking about opening a BBQ spot in the midwest IL area, gotten alot of great information just on that alone. Keep up the great work

[@lazydog274]

Woof woof from an old dog. Everyone. Hit that thumbs up 👍🏾 button

[@knoxavebbq]

Haha. Appreciate it

[@justeph79]

I am just a backyard bbq Dad trying to up his skills, but I love all the tips you are sharing!

[@knoxavebbq]

Hey, that’s what this channel is for! And I also started in the backyard so I’m glad to help!

[@reuben5570]

I use my blackstone bench scraper to get greasy sludge and gunk out of my smoker cook chamber. I bought a vac sealer this year, must have for me.

[@knoxavebbq]

Which one do you have?

[@tpack670]

Another great and helpful video. I have a block scraper but prefer to use a 6" putty knife that I put an edge on one side. It`s great on a griddle also. Victorinox knives are the best $$$ for the money. Bought my first one in 1980 (still have it) and never used another brand when I was a meat cutter. Still have over 20 Forschner/Victorinox knives of all sizes. A vacuum sealer, even if it`s a cheap one is probably one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. Leftover brisket and pulled pork warmed back up in 160 degree water for an hour is just like it was the day it came off my offset. Thanks Joe.

[@knoxavebbq]

Thanks so much for watching. Glad to know I have the same taste as a butcher

[@jerrypredmore8793]

Always love your videos.

[@knoxavebbq]

Appreciate it. Hope they’re helpful!

[@BenFeldman-kz7gt]

Joe, Happy 2024! This was a wonderful bbq essentials list! The only thing I felt you missed and I would like to know which one you recommend is a vacuum sealer. I see most people use a wood cutting board, but I always worry, so perhaps needlessly, about the hygiene issues. Apparently, in competition bbq plastic ones are required. Clearly, the plastic ones do not look as nice! Thoughts on this? Oh wait! You did forget another thing! A subscription to a Korean newspaper! As you have taught us, a fire is just not a fire without starting it with a Korean newspaper!😂 Keep up the great videos!👍

[@knoxavebbq]

I don’t use a vacuum sealer very often so I don’t have a great recommendation for that at the moment. As long as you wash your wooden cutting board with hot soapy water, and keep up with the oil and cream, your board will be safe to use. That subscription is top secret. Unfortunately you guys will never know.

[@lazydog274]

My mom My mom. If you want Korean newspaper. You just need to put a ring on her finger

[@whiteoakcraftbbq]

Great video. Amazon scraper on my list now. That exact large spatula has been my fav for years

[@knoxavebbq]

Appreciate you watching. Hope it helps

[@lkapigian]

Excellent as always Joe , I’m firmly in the Victornox camp as well… Would have loved your input on Smooth vs Scalloped slicing knives , I prefer smooth but don’t know why lol

[@knoxavebbq]

I don’t really use another knives other than serrated for slicers

[@keithatkinson7649]

For knives, I use a curved boning knife and a 16" granton edged Mercer

[@knoxavebbq]

Nice!

[@williamwhite1997]

YES! I feel validated in being the new owner of a Javelin Pro. Thanks, Joe, coming from a man of your experience. I feel I can proceed with confidence. 👍

[@knoxavebbq]

Haha. I have nothing again thermopen. I’d be happy if I had one too.

[@33chosenkc]

thank you!!

[@knoxavebbq]

You’re very welcome. Hope it sets you up for success this year.

[@matthewengland6428]

I have the same scraper, javelin pro, and sheet pans. I cosign. I love them all

[@knoxavebbq]

Good choices. Thanks for watching.

[@eddiegoodman9267]

[@paulpence8895]

And Lillie's Hot Smokey!!! Best BBQ sauce ever,,, and,,, from Chicago!!!

[@knoxavebbq]

👍

@@knoxavebbq My niece worked there for 4 years... But back in Nashville for now... That Hot Smokey is truly my favorite!!!

[@bobbicatton]

Thanks for the link to your storefront. I'm following there for more ideas👍😊

[@knoxavebbq]

Thanks Bobbi!

[@eddiegoodman9267]

Great information... thanks

[@knoxavebbq]

Thanks for watching!

[@BillyBatson89]

I just started making sausages as I was gifted a grinder add-on for the kitchen aid. The grinding part is pretty great and easy but it also doubles as a stuffer and for that part I do not recommend it. (especially solo) Thanks for the stuffer suggestion, I gotta look into it more!

[@knoxavebbq]

Definitely. If you’re into sausage making invest in some real equipment. You’ll be happy you did. Hah

[@StitchJones]

You did a great job with this video. So much good information. Thank you!

[@knoxavebbq]

Appreciate it. Thanks for watching and share with your other friends who like to cook!

[@Trumpetmaster77]

can't forget a delicious selection of cold beers!!

[@knoxavebbq]

You’re not wrong.

[@xtreemej7]

Good video! Talking about Dexter knives, look into the Dexter Russell 360 knives. Love those!! They have texture and a rubber grip and I think the shape conforms more to the hand. I have also used a Mercer flex boning knife. I also like the color variations.

[@knoxavebbq]

Thanks for watching! Nice. I’ve definitely seen them, unfortunately I got a bunch of knives already. Don’t need anymore taking up space. 😂

[@xtreemej7]

@@knoxavebbq c'mon. You can never have enough. Get you a Guga wall going on. 🤣. But on a serious note, got a Chud roll from my GF and I'm going to add some to it. Def going to try the 6" chef knife.

[@JTB559]

I had an inkbird instant read thermometer, and I liked it better than the cheaper thermpro I had. Hinge was much improved and the magnets are stronger. Until I had a pellet grill get burn back into the pellet hopper where the inkbird was magnetized to and melted it. So I am back to using the thermpro regularly for now lol

[@knoxavebbq]

Haha. Understandable. Thanks for watching!

You forgot what you are wearing !! An Apron !! Great video Bro !!! Thanks for sharing

[@knoxavebbq]

Appreciate you watching.

[@BigDaddyDuke101]

Good video Joe I would include a meater meat probe.

[@knoxavebbq]

Thanks for watching! I’m not a fan of wireless thermometers. The probe are too big. I don’t like seeing the big hole in my food. Haha. But I’m sure in the next few years they’ll make them smaller.

[@jeaubain]

The sausage stuffer!! I have a 5lb one and with my first big batch it was really annoying having to keep reloading! On a small batch it’s great but if you plan to do bigger batches it can be super frustrating

[@knoxavebbq]

Yup. Most definitely

[@ralphr6650]

I love your channel! Been following you from the very beginning. I just can’t get used to the channel name. It just doesn’t have a ring to it. This is just my opinion. Awesome video!

[@knoxavebbq]

Building a brand takes time. Appreciate you watching!

[@redbirdsjunkie]

8:23 Hi Joe, is that an AccuSharp branded sharpener or something else? I tried pausing the video but couldn't quite read the finger guard, thank you sir!

[@knoxavebbq]

yup. that's the one. again, it's not the best piece of equipment. i only use it when i'm in a pinch. i would definitely recommend getting it properly sharpened when you have time.

[@redbirdsjunkie]

@@knoxavebbq Awesome, thank you! I actually purchased the same Victorinox knife on Amazon in July 2022 and it's been ok but I want it just a tad sharper. I look goofy using a steel rod and I'm too lazy to use a stone so I've been using a cheap 2-stage sharpener but have seen the AccuSharp in stores. Thanks again!

[@knoxavebbq]

@@redbirdsjunkie you should still be using the honing rod after using the sharpener to get rid of any burrs. but i've been there. let me know how it goes after you try it.

Next time talk about gloves Thanks

Check the link! I got gloves in my store front. I could’ve talked about a lot more, but like I said, the video was already too long. Hahaha!

[@burntvirtue]

Why are you saying "Vitorinox"? There's a "c" in the word. Vic-tor-i-nox.
