This review is spot on… we drove to check it out. My pregnant wife (at the time) was NOT easy to convince or impress. So this was a huge gamble for me pushing this. It delivered. Her exact words “I can see how people could dedicate their lives to BBQ after tasting this”. And she doesn’t talk that way. Hah A+

[@randyhogan3071]

check into workhorse pits. They've been acclaimed my many, including Jeremy to be terrific cookers. And I think the price to value is pretty amazing, and shipping is reasonable as well.

The chargriller grand champ is the best option I’ve found and works wonders (in terms of price and functionality). You even get decent heat distribution flipping over the tray inside the cooking chamber (bottom, drill some holes)

Since your in Cent Texas check out Lonestar Grillz. Top quality offset and won’t break the bank. Chris the owner is super nice guy, will work with you to get what you need.

[@brahtrumpwonbigly7309]

You always have to wonder though, when there is zero negetive feedback at all, are they really that good or is there that normal social pressure to not say anything bad at all. Funny that jeremy was converted on all the stuff he didn't like rather than just "eh, not my thing" at least. Not accusing them of lying, just makes me wonder when I hear nothing but praise. Hopefully they genuinely are that good and I'm just a goober.

[@bar20bbq70]

So if you had a YT channel about BBQ and the self appointed BBQ god was gonna be in your video it would probably look like this. Its all about making a dollar how does one person decide whats good and what aint. I believe that maybe Texas Monthly should Get A new BBQ editor.some different taste buds.

I am slowly making my way through the top 10 from the 2021 Texas Monthly: The 50 Best BBQ Joints list. I have now been to Goldee's (#1), Cattleack (#6), and Panther City (#10). I live in Dallas, so I started with Goldee's (#1). Here is some of what I wrote to some family about my visit on a Saturday in June, 2023: "We got in line at about 8:45am for the 11am opening. There were about 100 to 125 people in front of us. The first guy in line got there at 6am. It took until 12:30pm (so 1.5 hours) to make it to the counter to order after the doors opened at 11am. Nothing was sold out when we got to order.... I believe we could have arrived at 12 noon and done just fine. I think the only item that got sold out by the time we left [at about 1:15pm] was the banana pudding." I must say, having had the banana pudding--and never having liked banana pudding before--I would really, really hate to miss out on it. It was great. Still, to not have to wait in line for almost four hours and only miss out on the banana pudding wouldn't be too bad. I would make that trade off. I also wrote: "Everything was very good to great, but I will skip the Pork Belly next time." The Pork Belly was just too fatty for me. The brisket at Cattleack was the best I have ever had, but Goldee's is the best overall barbecue place I have ever been to. If it were a little closer to my house I would go there every week.
