[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much for checking out the videos and for commenting my man! Congrats on the Grand Champ and happy smoking out there! 🔥

[@TheBrewQ]

Lol dude all kinds of noise happening in your hood haha. That brisket was pretty epic looking.

[@EverettBBQ]

Oh man, it's just getting crazier back here. The neighbor in back has now built a chicken coop that could house the crazy fighting chicken from Family Guy. 😒

[@DoctorJonehundred]

Best seasoning and looking brisket ive ever seen! And on the XD Grand Champ i want! Perfect!!

[@EverettBBQ]

You are too kind. Thank you so much for checking out the vid and for commenting. Cheers and happy smoking to you, Sir! 🔥

[@tylerstuhr3083]

Nice job man, looks delicious. I put a butt on the dyna this morning at 7am.

[@atahau6600]

Love the energy bro! Awesome vid.

[@EverettBBQ]

Thank you so much for putting up with me. I promise I will get better and more diligent on videos. Cheers and happy smoking out there. 🔥

[@FlourEggsYeast]

Reminder set!

[@jasonnored6131]

Good job man it looks great. I just bought one of these rigs last weekend and plan on doing a brisket this coming weekend.

[@EverettBBQ]

Thank you so much, Jason! You won't be disappointed. It has been a pleasure to smoke with, tons of capacity and very durable. It has been making some killer chicken, ribs, pork butt and brisket without a doubt. Cheers and happy smoking to you, sir. 🔥

[@AdrianLGreen]

Great video. Is your baffle in place on your XD or did you remove it?

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much, Adrian! Yes, sir the baffle is still in place but I left the bottom grate in standard. Will be doing more videos with it upside down. Cheers my man! 👊

[@gumarro72]

Great looking Brisket How do you set your baffle? I put mine per the instructions, but i am getting the smoke ring only on the bottom

[@EverettBBQ]

I have mine in the stock position and I have been trying to get away with smaller fires inside the fire box with smaller splits added more often while still burning as clean as I can. It seems to get a smoke ring all over but I would have to agree with you that I feel it is a stronger smoker penetration on the under side of the meat. The smoke flavor is terrific though and I am pleased with the purchase thus far. Thanks so much Gumarro for checking out the video and for the kind words. Cheers and happy smoking to you sir! 🔥

[@FlourEggsYeast]

Awww, we’re so sorry for your loss man. Very sweet that you had a remembrance to your Uncle.

[@EverettBBQ]

Much appreciated. I always try to give a shout out to the lost when I get a chance. At least that way they might live on in some fashion. Cheers my friend! 🍻

[@dahknesses8629]

El Guapo's a beast. Great vid Everett! One can only wish to make a brisket that beautiful.

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks a ton, dahknesses! Much appreciated my man. I got lucky with this brisket for sure... wish I could get the same brisket prices from back when I shot this video! 😆

[@tcdtboc8551]

Has dyna been beat?!😯

[@EverettBBQ]

Hahaha TCD! There is a contender to the throne for sure but it's yet to be seen who holds the title. 😉

[@misplacedcellphones]

@@EverettBBQ Vegas odds favor Dyna....:-P

[@alfromtx245]

That looks really good! I've been using the SNS Kettle for a few years and it's been great. The only problem is that I have several paying customers and I don't have a way to do more than one brisket at a time. This is be a pain, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the demand is higher. I've been thinking about buying something that would allow me to do more than one brisket at a time. The Grand Champ XD might be a good option. Sorry about your uncle, by the way.

[@EverettBBQ]

Thank you so much. I have been enjoying the Grand Champ quite a bit and would agree that two to three briskets at a time would be very doable. It would be much more maintenence on the firebox but it would be worth it for the flavor and yield. Much appreciated for the kind words and for checking out the video! Cheers and happy smoking out there! 🔥

[@joellmoreno6998]

Dude, I love your channel thanks for the tips and the laughs!

[@EverettBBQ]

Much appreciated Joell for the kind words and checking out the channel! 👊

[@JoshandBabe]

I laugh so hard. LOL. That was a fantastic cook. Fantastic...... Wow. Killer job

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much, Josh! The new cooker is practically running itself! 😅 Cheers bro! 👊

[@lawrencebecht660]

You are awesome

[@EverettBBQ]

Well, you are also awesome too, sir! 👍

[@SchueysBBQ]

Another great video Joe and sorry for your loss mate.

[@EverettBBQ]

[@BrisketMedic]

Great lookin brisket bra. For Tha gram! Lol

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks, Zack! Snappin dem pics 4 da gram, Awe Yeah! 😎

[@pioneersmokehouseschannel]

I can't compete with that, lol. I had a party last week and at the last minute, I decide to go pulled pork. I did a video for the end of the month, but you know my videos are more gear-related

[@EverettBBQ]

Thank you, Robert! Pulled Pork is my go to for party time as well, that way I can socialize and still have some forgiveness from the pork butt. 😅 I'll bet it was delish delight. Cheers, buddy! 😉

[@smalltowntexasbbqburgersbr1391]

Very nice! Love the commentary! - Mac

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much, Mac! Had a little to much fun with this brisket. Cheers, bro! 👊

Haha. I am always sneaking premieres up on people. 😅

[@BartlowsBBQ]

That's one good looking brisket!

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much Scott! Had a lot of fun making this brisket! Cheers bro! 🍻

[@tomsfoodfactory5086]

I think I need to move to the east side of Indianapolis. Strictly for training purposes! 😂

[@EverettBBQ]

U da man, Tom! Anytime you make the trip to Indy, let me know. I will try to work out some barbecue for ya bro! Cheers and happy smoking! 🔥

Yo Joey! Thanks my man, had to do it... you already knew it! 😅

[@BarbqRiot]

Giddy up! Knock it out of the park my brother!!!

Hey man. I gave you a shout out on my show a couple weeks ago, episode 15, reverse sear ribeye 👍

[@misplacedcellphones]

@@EverettBBQ I personally love the ads ;-P

[@TommyLee1]

Hell yeah you can't ask for a prettier piece of meat!! Good job man!

[@EverettBBQ]

Much appreciated Superman! I am pretty happy with the initial brisket run. El Guapo runs a little hot but will definitely be adding a water pan on the next brisket. Cheers! 🍻

[@steveyork8069]

Damn I thought you were giving me that end piece.The bark looks great have to be lovin on the pepper.I just ordered me some tallow,I’ve been using duck fat.Trying some St. Louis ribs right now at 215 on my Weber kettle for the whole cook 8 1/2 hours in bending pretty good at 180 just lightly sauced and gave it some air up to 278 best looking bark I’ve had on ribs.Heavy pepper,some salt and your pork rub recipe.What I’m licking off my fingers tasting good,be ready to eat soon.🔥👍🍻

[@EverettBBQ]

Those ribs sound awesome, Steve! Thanks so much. It's all about the bark! 👊😎

[@steveyork8069]

Everett BBQ Ribs turned out amazing,the bark was great and I’m more of a loin and chop guy.My next pork butt getting the same treatment.🔥👍

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

That brisket looks fantastic! That offset is a best 🔥🔥 cheers 🍻

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks a ton Pitmaster! Yes, I have been pleased so far. I am about 14 cooks in and no major complaints. Happy smoking, boss! 😎

[@AdrianLGreen]

Well Done, Joe!!

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks Adrian! Pretty happy with how this initial run went. She definitely runs a little hot but will keep at it for sure. Cheers and happy smoking! 🔥

[@sbrownson6155]

Me too reminder set. I gotta feeling dyna might have some competition.

[@randyhogan3071]

That's an awesome looking piece of meat. I got a new char-griller grand champ and I'm having trouble managing the fire. I need to keep it hot/big enough to keep a bed of coals but then it seems like the temps are too high. If I make the fire smaller to keep the temps down, I can't keep a decent bed of coals to light the next split. Got any tips for me? You logs seem to be bigger than the ones I use. Thanks man!

[@EverettBBQ]

The cooker definitely runs hot and I have begun adding water pans. One under the cooking grate and a small one on the grate but might just stick with the one underneath. It needs some water without a doubt. Thanks so much for checking out the video and happy smoking, Randy! 😎

[@jrodbats]

It’s always going to run hot due to the small size of the fire box and the huge smoke entry from the firebox to the cook chamber but to help mitigate this try looking into getting some tuning plates and/or a heat deflector. The baffle plate that comes with it doesn’t cut it. Hope this helps!

[@Trumpetmaster77]

El Guapo looks like it can handle a plethora of briskets!!! good job brother!!!

[@EverettBBQ]

LOL! Thanks Louie! Definitely going to be throwing a plethora of briskets at this thing! 😂

[@FlourEggsYeast]

Everett, that bark looked AWESOME.

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much! I was pretty happy with the bark and the brisket was definitely super tender. Cheers! 👍

[@GrillinandChillinwithMojo]

Nice job sir. Looks absolutely amazing. So sorry to hear about your Uncle.

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much Mojo! Appreciate the kind words and the support brother. Cheers! 🍻

Oh hell yeah! That looked just friggin great Joe. We haven't smoked brisket in a loooong time, you just inspired us. 😄👋👊

Always a great time to smoke some brisket. Can't get enough. Happy Smoking! 🔥

i like ur style man

[@EverettBBQ]

[@moesbackyardbbqgrill8646]

Phone died so I missed the priemiere, STILL impressive, brother!

[@EverettBBQ]

U Da Man Moe! Not bad for the initial brisket run. It definitely ran a little hotter than I was ready for but can't complain about the results. Cheers bro! 🍻

[@Maplecook]

Sorry for your loss... =(

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much my man! Just paying tribute to a good man the best way I know how! Cheers bro! 👊

[@sbrownson6155]

How did it stack up to dyna?

[@EverettBBQ]

It was awesome but different. It runs a little hot, so some of the bark got a touch hard but it smoothed out in the wrap. Also, cooking fat cap up and down is a little different. Still all in all, it was neck and neck with Dyna. I might have to do the side by side comparison once brisket prices settle back down. Cheers Brownson!

[@cc7932]

Wow fantastic job! Have you considered selling brisket etc? I think you would certainly do well!!

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much, CC! It would definitely be a lot of fun to run a barbecue trailer but cooking multiple briskets might be dangerous for me. I could see myself eating through a LOT of the profits! 😅

[@csisco7727]

Wapo. Not Goo-apo. That being said, good lookin brisket you made there.

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks so much for the tip. I will apply it in the future. 😆 Appreciated you checking out the video. 😎

[@CGBS4744]

Fantastic brisket right there. I wish that I could afford a piece of meat like that. The price for that here would be around $100. I have to suffer with just pieces of brisket that cost between $20-$30. They just don't cook the same as a whole packer. RTFO!!! GB🤘

[@EverettBBQ]

Thanks, GB! Lately our brisket prices have seen a dramatic increase. That video was shot in May and that same brisket now costs $20 more at least. I'm gonna have to save up for the next brisket cook. Cheers bro! 🍻
