Hi Eric. I just wanted to let you know I've been really enjoying your PBCX content. I don't know why youtube waited till now to recommend this to me but I'm glad it did.

[@mjalco7410]

Can cook Bbq and fix cars. Mrs O is so lucky.. Enjoy your rewards of the smoker!

Thanks for sharing looked great.

[@robinlance]

Been smoking meats over 35 yrs and used the weber smoker for many years ( my son has it and is still working great. The Pit barrel I have used for just under 5 yrs when it just fell apart due to the heat and cold start. I moved on to the treager pellet smoker man what can I say you just set it at the temp and stick in your wireless probe in and forget it. Take a look at the bearded butchers they have great tip's on the meat's cut's to use and cooking with the Big green egg and the treager. When you get old and lazy you love the fact you don't use kingsford or and other brand of charcoal since it is made with chemicals to enhance the charcoal cooking time Lump coal s the way to go if using charcoal. The pellet's are all natural wood with different wood choices to cook with and Best of all you just make sure the hopper is full with your choice of pellet's and just turn it on and it's coming up to the temp you wanted. Just a Lazy way to smoke grill or what ever you want to cook.

[@waltersticht7653]

Excellent job on the ribs and shoulder! Compliments from a Southerner!

[@bowdoin5063]

The mixer is genius

[@mikenonameneeded3485]

Eric, looks delicious. As a kid, I remember my grandfather would cook chicken in an old steel refrigerator laid on its back. It was a strange contraption but it was some of the best BBQ chicken! This was 1980,s in Louisiana.

[@TheRealEricO]

Wow no kidding. That's a cool memory man!

Glad to see the taste testers ready and meowing, and dancing around. We are hopeful to adopt one of the rescued beagles, if the Mrs. agrees. Cool trick with the mixer.

[@DIYDaveOK]

Getting a good external thermometer like that has been an absolute difference maker for me and my smoker. We did a brisket and a turkey breast last Christmas and it was sooooo good.

Nice work Eric. When you are ready to leave the rust belt. South Georgia welcomes you and the family.

Now there's a sweet idea, precooked bacon Added to that with a touch more bbq sauce With some eggs and toast.. Love a good pork chop with some bacon And eggs and toast too.

Nice video , much better than Kia front brake job ! I like the mixer trick , that’s awesome 👍 enjoy.

[@samcooke2742]

SMA does a terrific job making automotive videos - the best on KZbin. The transition into a cooking show is fun. Malcom has never done his prep on a stack of tires. Never seen that before, anyway. Maybe give Jacques Pepin a call.

[@JimFixIt74]

All I have to say is wow! Dr. O Master Mechanic and Pit BBQ Boss!!!

[@1jackvalley580]

Wow that pit barrel cooker is fantastic, I love that it's so basic that it makes me wonder why most of us don't get one to use, for pork sandwiches and ribs looked amazing. Yes I believe it would be a little rough eating ribs and sandwiches with braces. It's to bad that they don't have portable braces where you can loosen a couple screws and pullem' off for rib eaten' time. Oh well it was just a thought 🤔 Hope you all had fun, was a fun video Thanks 🐾👍

[@davidellenbaum1229]

looks great . really great idea blender to shred pulled pork all you need is coleslaw Memphis style right on sandwich

Been to Jack Stack in KC several times Oh man, good stuff...

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

If those Ribs split and fell on the coals they would have been subject to the 5 second rules. I'm salivating now. Looks absolutely delicious Mr O. One of the things I like about you Mr O is how respectful you are of Mrs O. You can't fake the way it just rolls off your tongue. It's nice to see that you were obviously brought up right. Unfortunately, from what I see of some of the younger generation, this is lacking. I'm not saying in all people, but I respect my Wife the way you do Mrs O. It's nice to see manners aren't completely gone. It's the generation below you Mr O is the issue but I'm sure your family will carry on the tradition.

[@fyrfytr16]

I have to stop watching your cooking videos……I sit here drooling…… YUM Great job…..Wish I was there to sample…. Your animals don’t know how lucky they are !

[@turbobus6731]

Just smoked 50 lbs of pork on my Hasty Bake, made in America baby!!,funny how many Wilsons’ you’ll see when that smell wafts across the neighborhood 😂. Keep up the good work and vids!

[@N6ROB]

Wow Eric, you are the all-around-guy! Nice work on the BBQ. One thing your viewers should know is that the thermometers are the key to success (on any BBQ or grill); especially with pork. And yes, I am a BIG TIME Thermoworks fan boy. (I have their 4-channel "Signals", and Thermapen ONE). Fast, and very accurate. Getting pork to just the right temp is key to getting good results. Their website has plenty of cooking advice for BBQ and grilling; I am always learning new stuff (including automotive repair at SMA!). By the way, if you had lost part of that rack in the pit as you removed it, then you would definitely have needed to employ, "the classic reach-around". 😲 Thanks for the video; I really enjoy all that you share on the KZbin!

[@TheRealEricO]

Oh I'd been going in after it!

[@misterfix3499]

Nice life hack with the mixer!

[@Mr2004MCSS]

That was an awesome cook. The PBC is the bomb. I made some PBC ribs not long ago and they turned out great as usual. Probably the easiest smoker out there to operate. I've had one for about 8 years and it's one of my favorite smokers that I have.

[@soccertl]

What a cool trick. I always pulled them apart with 2 big forks. That mixer looks much easier. Everything looked great.

Just found your new channel. 3 old time mechanics get together a couple times a week to watch you, Ivan and Ray. We have about 107 years total between us. I see you like to cover some recipe's and my family has a couple that are super winners. If you are interested in a bombastic bean and a fruit cake recipe that has been enhanced for 5 generations I would be glad to share them. I know, everybody hates fruitcake. Until they try this one. Even those that say they will never try any again , are the same ones that ask if we are going to make it every year. Go figure?? PS: all of us think Mrs. O is a GODDESS. You lucky bastard!

Awesome idea with the blender. That BBQ barrel is a nice cooker.

[@TDub_ADV]

The mixer to shred the pork is brilliant! The only thing i would have done different is i leave the fat side up, lets the fat renter into the meat and it makes it extra moist.

In a pit barrel I would cook pork shoulder with the fat side down, in my side burner I cook with fat side up. Nice job!

Side burner? ha brain fart offset smoker is what I meant to say.

Sweet smoker Good job Happy to see you’re starting the coals with the right equipment. I’m a fan of “lump” charcoal vs briquets. Briquettes always have a lot of weird things in the ashes and have a lighter fluid smell.

[@brianschermann2359]

Here you think you know someone then learn they been steppin out on ya. Been subbed since the kids were little and just came across this today. We had ribs last night and came to the conclusion they’re our favourite meat. Pulled pork is in second.
