When they call the cook a Pitmaster...you should know that in the US that is an ACTUAL title...earned after years of work. A pitmaster is not like a chef...a chef commands an entire kitchen, knows many different meals/recipes/ etc...but a pitmaster is a true specialist in barbeque...and is focused on perfectly seasoning and smoking (slow cooking) different types of meat. It is a profoundly respected art, and while the video does show the end product...it didn't quite get the message out that pitmasters are like rock stars of the American restaurant world.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Hi Recky. I have been a pit master for 40 years (amateur) and your dad is right. Tending a full sized smoker can be a pain until you get your firebox skills down. A medium sized (1/2 sq meter) consumer grade smoker is what you need to get started. If you have a lot of money, get the thickest metal. The great news is with a small smoker & some help you can get some excellent BBQ first time & within a few sessions be 90% of the way to Goldee's or Terry Black's. If you are still determined to go big, see what you can find there. Cost at Goldee's or Terry Black's will be Brisket @ $50 pound (1/2 kilo) Pork Ribs half that. Beef Ribs I haven't had in so long at a top place, I'm not sure. With sides & everything $75 for one person. A tray the size they have $300 maybe? At a top place. I always go to less than top place for $30 or just fix it myself for $20 or less. BTW, Goldee's is about 15 minutes away & smoking does preserve well for shipping.

[@matthill5426]

Recky is right to think of barbecue as a culture! It is! The correct way to barbecue is to get your fire going, put the meat on, then sit around drinking beer and watching sports for nine hours while it cooks! Then invite your friends over for a feast. That's the true spirit, essence, and culture of barbecue. And absolutely add in your favorite local dishes! Barbecue is regional, if you personalize it for your local favorites, you're following the authentic spirit of barbecue tradition!

[@AmySteinhauer]

Correct 💯

[@wuxiagamescentral]

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

I agree with that. You can slow cook ribs in the oven and then caramelize them on the grill with charcoal that is made from fruitwood.

[@Rose-z4h6k]

Goldee's is in my neck of the woods. They made #1 in Texas Monthly's list of best BBQ places. They're pretty much a shack in a less developed part of Fort Worth. The line starts forming at the crack of dawn. They're a fairly new place that opened in 2020 or 2021. Goldee's turkey is my favorite. I get extra to make sandwiches at home. BBQ is expensive. Some cuts of meat require a lot of trimming, so there can be waste. But, mostly, you're paying for the labor of tending the pits for 10-16 hours. They probably have $200 of food on that tray. You may already know this, but BBQ comes in many regional variations. They vary in cuts of meat used, woods burned, seasonings used and types of sauce. In Texas, not surprisingly, beef rules. Pecan, post oak and mesquite woods are used for smoke. In the Carolinas, pork (whole hog or pork shoulder) and fruit woods and hickory wood are used. Generally they use a mustard and vinegar based sauce. In western Tennessee, pork ribs are a speciality. In Kansas City, they use many kinds of meat with a sweet sauce. In Kentucky, BBQ lamb is a specialty up along the Ohio River. All these styles are good. The best is whatever you like the most. :)

[@repairit1]

One thing I wish I did right away when learning to BBQ was to write every thing I did during a cook into a journal. When you are new, you're learning to cook, but you are also learning the personality of the BBQ pit. Countless times I wished I knew what I did this time to make the meat taste better than the last time. Don't change too many things at once.

[@pageribe2399]

Great advice! I don't make BBQ, but I do bake, and with plenty of experimentation. I concentrate so hard on what I'm doing that I can't remember anything when I'm finished. Therefore, it's necessary for me to write everything down.

[@mimiv3088]

BBQ like this is usually sold by weight. So for an average person around $30.00 to $50.00 USD. The amount they have on the tray will feed 4 to 5 people. The owner of this Goldee's is a really great guy. Is there a Pit Master out there willing to go teach Recky and Carol how to cook great Texas BBQ? If we can't get Recky and Carol to Texas soon.

30-50 is the price for a full pound of brisket with sides, but I dont know if I would consider that an average portion size. Half a pound of meat is more accurate which for brisket would be about 20-25 bucks. Other meats like pork or chicken are like half the price of brisket.

[@jilliant.4550]

I've been to Franklins, Gollees and also Terry Blacks. Most of these type bbq places will charge by the pound. The most expensive is the beef rib because you have no choice but purchase a full rib. Everything else, if you want just a couple slices, then you only pay for their weight. The beef rib can be anywhere from $50 to $75 depending on size. But it will feed 2 people. Most sides are $6 - $8. Each. A full neal with a little bit of everything will be $100 - $150. Enough for 2 to 3 people. But there are thousands of great bbq places in every state, each one unique. Around $30 each for a good meal. H

The biggest thing about cooking is that you have to have a passion for it. If you dont you will only be middling. That dish that you fix has your name on it. Its saying this is the best I can do. Dont ever get discouraged if you fail on a dish. You learn from those mistakes. The failure makes you more diligent. It makes you focus on your craft. Just because you dont own a restaurant doesn't mean you arent a chef. A true master works not for himself, but to please others.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

I've been BBQing for just shy of 30 years here in Texas. It takes awhile to master but one day it just hits you!! You turn out that perfect Brisket!!! It's really not that difficult once you figure it out. Start with simple items like chicken and before you know it it becomes second nature.

[@jishani1]

I've been making barbecue for around 10 years, Generally as a hobby, but i've catered a couple events with my food. It's a learning process, but it won't take you long to start producing things that taste really good. But like most things that are worth doing, you can always improve at it. There's always something you can do better, every time you cook. Also as other comments have said, if you want to make BARBECUE you need a smoker. Not a grill. If you're wanting one of the barrel style smokers, make sure it has an offset firebox.

[@KTKacer]

100% agree, Offset firebox is the only way to go if getting that style.

[@darkerbrother1]

Recky and Carrol , Please understand that there is a huge difference between Grilling and Smoking. Smoking is BBQing Smoking is Low and Slow. Typically a cook is many hours. The type of smoker you get is determined by the wood you have available. The easiest smoker to cook on is a Pellet Smoker . It doesn’t have to be large. An Egg type Smoker is probably next. Off set smokers require to much attention for people new to smoking.

[@connniet3049]

[@terrycarter1137]

Yes, Mr and Mrs Recky do a Texas BBQ crawl, that sounds like a great idea.😂 What you need to start off with is a offset smoker where the fire is in a separate compartment, and the smoke goes across the meat, direct fire and very high temperatures is grilling not BBQing.

[@TexasRose50]

I agree with you Cody. This is not simple grilling over charcoal or on a gas grill. You might get close with a pellet smoker, but to get the product and end results in this video, you need a true offset smoking pit. And you need to continuously keep trying to get a quality end result. In Sweden, you might not even be able to get these cuts of meat. Not that I'm saying don't try to do it, but it is constant trial and error to get a consistent end product. Good luck Recky, I hope this one is attainable for you.

[@allibrown8960]

Something for Recky to consider... Limit the kinds of wood you use to smoke with since you have stone fruit and tree nut allergies. Post oak is the wood of choice for Goldees and Terry Black's, and I think that would be safe flr you. I would NOT try cherrywood, birch, alder, or pecan. A little hickory or mesquite in combination with the post oak would be okay. But, you've never been exposed to mesquite at all, so that might not be advisable.

[@kevinshasteen5682]

Im bred, born, raised Texan. Just FYI, when you decide to buy a smoker you must accept that your learning to smoke properly will be from the mistakes you make early on, and you will make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and you will master the process. Dont buy into the "Texas Crutch" where you only smoke the brisket for 7 hours. Proper brisket smoking takes 14 hours. Watch a lot of YT vids before you commit to trying it yourself. Trust me, there's nothing more enjoyable than smoked brisket and beef ribs. When you talk BBQ, Texas and Oklahoma are talking beef; while all other states are talking pork. Smoked Turkey will surprise you as long as you dont over cook it. You havent had MacNCheese until you've had smoked 5 cheeses MacNCheese. If you ever get to come to Texas for BBQ either go to Austin or D/FW. Houston has its BBQ but is more of an international city with Seafood restaurants being close to the gulf. Ive been all over the states and each state has its own culture and Ive always come back to Texas - there's something really special about Texas. When you come here, dont forget to take the time to try Southern Comfort food, Cajun food, and Tex'Mex. If you have the time, after you've had BBQ from the #1 smokers, your objective is to try hole in the wall BBQ pits that do BBQ right but at a fraction of the costs. The #1 rated BBQ'ers will eat up a $60 per person easily depending on your appetite with the hole in the wall BBQ'ers in the $30 per person. Good luck and happy BBQ'ing.

I've been practicing BBQ all of my life and I have hit and miss meals. Learning to control the heat is the best lesson I have learned. When it's good it's special, when it's not it's either feed the family something not so great or order out. Good luck in you adventures!

[@reneerollins4433]

This is just my calculation , but, I would think that it would be about 25 to 30 dollars each, depending on the cut of meat that you choose. It will come with your sides and all the sweet tea that you care to drink. If you want a beer that will be extra. And if you choose to tip, then that's a bit more. I think 80 would cover it nicely, plus you're probably going to have a go box for later😊

Howdy y'all from Fort Worth! Cowtown, USA! I live just a few miles away from Goldee's BBQ. I can attest that it is the absolute best barbecue you'll ever eat! It is the #1 BBQ restaurant in Texas according to Texas Monthly and by those who have visited, and for good reason. People have come from different parts of the world to eat here. So far...no complaints😅😅. By the way, you do not want a barrel grill. What you want is what is called an offset smoker. You can do everything on those. Also, if you noticed they did not put any sauce on the meat. They ate it just as it was served because that is always the best way. If you have to add any kind of sauce to your brisket, something's wrong. And about that sausage. The state of Texas owes a lot to the German immigrants who first immigrated to North Texas in the 1830s. They are the ones who brought their style of sausage to North Texas and we Texans later took that sausage and put a Texas twist on it to create a completely new taste profile.

Each time I made a blanket with this pattern, I learned something new for the next blanket until I finally got it perfected to my satisfaction. It was simple trial and error. It may take you several tries to get the barbecuing to your satisfaction through simple trial and error also. I’m sure you will enjoy the process even when you make a mistake.

there are a few places in Texas that you can go to and spend some time there to LEARN how to bbq the Texas way... I don't know the specific places, but I've heard of a few people I know of that did it. my grandfather was one decades ago and he taught us (his family) how to do it...

Goldee's has a BBQ school a couple times a year.

I'm in Texas. Couple of days ago, I got sliced lean brisket sandwich (on hamburger bun) with fries for $13. I also got a 1/2 cup of their bbq sauce (it's free, just ask for it). The sandwiches are loaded with meat so I put half of it on my fries along with the sauce. I have to split the food between 2 meals, it's so much. You can also get a huge baked potato loaded with butter, chopped brisket, cheese and sour cream for about the same price. Only eat bbq once every couple of months though.

[@TexasRose50]

I make my own loaded potatoes. Omg, they are so good. But believe it or not, I get the best chipped beef sandwiches at a place that basically sells snow cones. They ask if you want savory or sweet bbq sauce. I get the savory. He uses Sweet Baby Rays sauces. So good!!

Key to bbq pork is low and slow. Now I smoke until I reach 160 F internal meat temp then wrap in foil and turn it up to finish to 200 F I use a combination of hickory apple and sometimes add cherry wood to the mix. I use the same for chicken and beef.

[@beckyrinaldi6622]

I have still not gotten Brisket completely right but I learn a bit more each time I try to do it. The key is low and slow and I always end up trying to rush it. Best two to try at first are a whole chicken or a Pork butt/shoulder. They are easy and taste great.

[@brucer2152]

I love your reactions to, practically the state food of Texas...other than Tex-mex itself. I hope you have a great journey learning to bbq in the Texas style. And never forget the sweet corn bread.

[@watrandy99]

My local BBQ joint costs around $22 for a pound of brisket, $15 for four pork ribs, $12 for a sausage; I don't normally eat everything like Jolly does when I go for BBQ; I usually pick something different each time unless I simply have a craving.

[@ACriticalGeek]

You can make a smoker out of sheet metal. My cousin smokes our turkeys every thanksgiving using a smoker jury rigged from aluminum catering serving trays.

[@fasttruckman]

Recky barbecuing has a huge learning curve. Start with inexpensive meats and learn from your mistakes.

[@bobupton-e1u]

Glad you and Carol are reacting together

[@catlady443]

they also have classes during the summer months, they have the smoker they use for sale.

[@curtjoyner4493]

Recky, you can find many instructional BBQ videos but even with them be aware that it will be an extensive learning curve. Developing the little techniques that will make what you BBQ great will take time and learning. It's not likely that your first or several early attempts will be satisfactory but stick with it and you will get there. Oh, and heed the advice of @Cody38Super in the comment below, a proper smoker is absolutely necessary.

[@dutchgram3799]

It will take time for you to get what YOU think is the best, but you will have a blast practicing. You might be eating brisket casseroles, beef for break lunch and dinner, beef jerky BUT you will love perfecting it and putting g your name on it. Don't give up!

[@JMitch67]

Yes buy a smoker. What you want is an indirect heat source and smoke to cook the meat low and slow while forming a smoke ring around the outside of the meat. After 12 hours just slow roasting and smoke permeating throughout the meat and beef brisket should melt like butter in your mouth

[@exousia7773]

Yay! Goldees is in my area here in Fort Worth, TX! Love this video. Sooo good!

[@teerob1444]

Love from America 🇺🇸 You are such nice people!

[@MLFProp]

I started my BBQ journey about 35 yrs ago and it's honestly a gradual learning experience. Southern BBQ is in a class to itself. I won't argue Southern BBQ vs. Texas BBQ. It's all delicious, but being from Tennessee, Pork BBQ is my preference over beef. The true way to learning to BBQ is to just dive in and start. You don't have to have the most expensive setup to get started. You just need some kind of enclosure to trap the smoke with a rack to put your meat on and some heat (either direct or indirect; I prefer indirect). Experiment with seasonings and spritzes and temperature control. The type of wood that you use will give different tastes to your meat, so experiment with that too. Don't be afraid of failure. You will learn from failures. Give it a go and good luck.

[@R.POWELL]

I can only speak of my home state of Texas but we like to "smoke" our turkeys for Thanksgiving. The taste of the meat brings out all of the side dishes we have. Dang, I'm hungry now for it !!! 😋👍. Thank God I've got a great BBQ place down the road !! 💛 from Texas.....

[@MadamMaru-gm5ff]

I love that you two enjoy the Jolly boys. They're wonderful, and so are you. I hope you get to make great bbq at your new house!

[@johnwatrous8982]

Get with Mr. H in the UK, he just bought a smoker (not a grill) big difference. Him and family went all over talking and learning from pit masters from all over the American south.

[@dalehammers4425]

Love you guys!! Love JOLLY too, they are so sincere and honest if they dont like something they dont act like they do. Also on a side note... I'd just like to point out that I only live a bit over an hour outside of Kansas City... also some of the best BBQ in the world.

[@mochasmiley9743]

First time finding channel and you two make me smile, thank you. Instant sub. 😁👍🏿

[@RamblingRose08]

I'm really excited for you guys! I'm glad this has inspired you further.

[@SuperDave71176k]

Recky there is a channel called eat more vegans that would help you in your new journey.After the house move is taken care of I could see the beginning of Carol and Reckey's que CRAQ (pronounced CRACK)Carol to reproduce those drooling causing results your going to have to be more open to doing the preparation from scratch again and not just box cooking

[@TedC5203]

It's a learning process, buy a great journey. You get to eat as you go. We all had to start at the beginning. You'll get it.

[@catlady443]

a good recipe is key - instructions are also useful
