WE CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR THIS BBQ COMPETITION!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I just want y'all to know how grateful I am that y'all watch our videos! Love y'all so much!

[@danjor45]

Love the videos and information. You didn't use a pan here for your chicken, but when you do use one and wrap the chicken, what size pan do you use? I have a 22" drum and the half pans are too small but the full size foili pans are too big. Curious what you use. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@phatcockbrand6160]

Can u link me to the injector gun and slicing knife you use plz. Do you have a competition brisket trimming video?

[@jeffreyayers2664]

Love your videos! Thank you for taking time to show us the entire process and explaining your thoughts. Congratulations for 1st place ribs 🎉

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you!!

[@codycrow1337]

It’s awesome that you show the whole process, I’m switching to drums from an offset, so all the input is super helpful 😎

[@robertbernal3180]

Congratulations 👍 . Everything looked so delicious. My mouth was getting watery with everything you were making. Happy that your trailer was working great for you and having room for your family. I hope that you got your generator working. I really liked your trophies. I really like how those Webber grill work but color wise I love the new one that you got . I really enjoy your competition videos and wishing you the best.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like our videos and enjoy watching!

[@jacobkennedy2422]

Looking good bro! I really like the comp videos, once again full of competition knowledge bombs. Excellent content.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I am glad you like them! I try showing as much as I possibly can, even if I don’t talk about it. I know y’all catch a lot of what I’m doing 🫡

[@ericsmith5718]

I use to cook on drums. I got a large metal pizza pan and put it on bottom rack and used it as a heat deflector plate and it cooks more like a Kamado cooker. You get more consistent and even cook throughout the chamber. Keep up the good work sir.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

That’s a great idea! I’ll try it. Thanks so much!!

[@seancantu8972]

Congrats brotha! Inspiring me to get back in the mix!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much! Get back into it!

[@andrewbain6581]

Great job and congrats! Everything you made looked #1 to me. Hope you and the family have a wonderful day

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much! Our day is going great so far, how is yours going?

[@huckinator]

That is a cool trophy! Congrats my man! You deserved it! You may not have won the chicken but that chicken presentation looked beautiful!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I thought our presentation was on point and I also really enjoyed the flavor. It makes it tough because I’m like dang what do I do now! But I’ve got a idea haha

[@kevindowner766]

Awesome job on the ribs! That brisket looked like a winner to me.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

It's crazy to me, because I truly thought the brisket BANGED! But, I guess the judges didn't agree!

[@kevindowner766]

@GulfCoastSmoke If the brisket took 22nd place I definitely wanna try #1

[@ido4me]

Man that was so awesome for the walks that you received.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks a bunch! It was a very HOT but awesome day out there!

[@CazadorJr562]

Love these competition vids! Getting a ton of knowledge! Do you ever do SCA comps?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I’ve never done one! But, I should have one coming up!!

[@dansmith8512]

Quality video, great see how much goes into a bbq comp.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

It’s a lot, but it’s also a lot of fun! It’s kind of crazy how much you start to care when you’re competing against others. Thanks for watching!

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

Congrats. On the 1st place ribs. I like these competition videos. I want to get into it but never have really looked much into it. Seams like a fun expensive hobby.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much! It’s definitely expensive but we truly love it and it makes us work harder to try and win a little money back!

[@elbarriocookers4393]

Congratulations again on your number being called! Looks like you’re trailer made it more comfortable on preparing & doing your boxes 👍

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

It definitely did! We are very happy we have this thing!

[@KIRBBQ]

Great competition content and introduction into both IBCA and CBA comp. We most only get to see KCBS.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I’m super glad you enjoyed it! I’m doing one KCBS event this year and I’m super excited for it!

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Great looking boxes bro, congrats!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks, James! I'm hoping to catch you at an event soon!

[@mattreyes1026]

Congrats on 1st place brotha! Great looking turn in’s as always. 👊🤙 How’s the trailer working out for ya?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

So far so good! I need a different AC for it, which I already got but I’m excited for that!

[@bbqd9809]

Great stuff brother. Time to crack a beer and watch!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I appreciate you!

[@locooreo5022]

Wow! Thanks for another awesome mouth watering video! Well done!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nolovelost_]

That rib proses was stellar

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Truly appreciate you brother!

[@sabrenacantu7021]

I’m loving the addition of pork with CBA as opposed to the IBCA comps we’ve been doing!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Same! That pork was so yummy!

[@gerdsfargen6687]

I love your videos, man! I would love to know how you get the chickens cut so cleanly in half as shown in the thumbnail.

[@keithcarr4133]

Congrats on the walks and love the comp vids. We go some here in Ga and appreciate the tips !

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

No problem! Best of luck!

[@randyjaramillo3939]

Keep them coming buddy

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Absolutely!!

[@blackrooster48]

Congratulations on your walks. Keep up the great work. Good luck on the chicken, it took me a year of trying to figure it out. I finally went back to my original recipe and it finally hit. We're gearing up for our next comp next weekend. Where are you cooking at next? How many comp do you try to do ?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much! Chicken is definitely tough, but we will figure it out. Next comp will be next weekend in Edinburg, then again in Hempstead next month! I'm trying to do at leats one a month right now but it's also super hot in South TX during the Summer so I will play it by ear!

[@blackrooster48]

@GulfCoastSmoke yeah we try to do at least 1 a month, yes it is super hot. And until I get my trailer completed we are rough it out tent city lol. All good, we'll good luck. We were thinking of doing Hempstead as well , but well see. Might do Cuero, Tx or Driftwood, TX instead.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

@@blackrooster48 If you end up going to Hempstead let me know! Would love to meet ya!

[@blackrooster48]

@GulfCoastSmoke like wise brother, I will let you know. Good luck next weekend.

[@orangevol54]

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I thought it tasted so good as well! We will go after it again soon!

[@lugo2510]

Congratulations on them rubs Cuzn. That’s crazy that I just text you about making me some for my wife earlier today. And then this video pops up on my KZbin.. You did amazing over all on the performance and I’m sure it tasted way more GOODER 😂. Love you cuz. Keep on Smokin’

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks, cuz! I know that is a funny coincidence haha. I love you too cuz! Let’s cook soon

[@lugo2510]

Im down. Just lmk when and I’m there.

[@eh2bseries]

I did an order a while ago. And I must say I'm hooked on that southern bell.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I’m obviously biased, but man, Southern Bell bangs SO HARD! Super glad you enjoy it!

[@eh2bseries]

​@GulfCoastSmoke I put some on some NY strips and the rest was history. Good stuff for sure. Keep up the good work.

[@adriancatwell5909]

Awesome cook!!!! Love the preparation and presentation of everything. I thought it was very interesting you injected your ribs....I never thought about doing that...I may give that a try myself. Overall, loved the vid and keep them coming. I may have missed what wood you used but would you mind telling me?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I never used to inject ribs, I thought it was sacrilegious! But, for competition it’s been bringing our rib game to another level. I am glad you enjoyed the video! We used pecan and post oak!

[@hooksrub]

Congrats on the calls!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thanks so much! It's always fun hearing your name called!

[@kevinbongard6772]

That's one of the nicest brisket boxes I've seen

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you!

[@guilhermanacas]

Lezzz gooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

My man!

[@legato500]

Thanks for posting a video like this! Living in Ohio I've never seen a barbeque competition like this before. The chicken looked really good - just makes you wonder what the other competitors are doing with their chicken. How long did the chicken end up taking until it was done? I have that raised grill and now I'm tempted to try that method. That looked like a lot of hard work but fun at the same time. Congratulations on everything!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I will tell you what... the chicken was delicious to not only me but everyone else that was there as well. It's a weird dynamic because you start to overthink things! Overall, it took us around 1 hour and 15 minutes and we are ready to keep cooking it! I have an idea for next time! Thank you so much for watching!

[@madcow1998]

Is all your cooking self taught or did you take any classes? Bbq in my opinion is the best way to cook stuff. Usually longer you give it, more tender it is. Plus all the flavor you can pack on it. Good as always man! Keep it up

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Mostly self taught, but I’ve watched a bunch of stuff on KZbin, The BBQ League, and believe it or not TikTok. I’ll re-watch videos and pause and see certain things guys are doing and using and then try making it my own! I love BBQ as well!!

[@TheUTEXAS]

Bring some down to the the office today! Thank you

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Haha, we gotta plan a day I can bring something in!!

[@nickdunin1504]

Oh hell!!! Where did you get that elevated rack for the Weber? I need that!!

[@hookedm]

Awesome man !!! good job ....

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you! I appreciate you!

[@Rikj721]

Well done!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you!

[@charlesorr5038]

Awesome job! I saw a video on you doing comp ribs no secrets...did you do the same rib recipe in this video like the other or have u changed up.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I changed it up! I can definitely update my recipe on KZbin!

[@charlesorr5038]

That would be awesome..but i understand if u dont want to give up the new recipe it is competition!! Still awesome

[@brentb1663]

So what were your rankings?

[@RodriguezStrength]

How the heck is chicken 39th?? It looked amazing!

[@Johnny_Savage_]

Job well done!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Really appreciate you! Thanks so much for watching!

[@HansenMath]

What smoke profile do judges look for? Very, very light??

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I would say you’re looking for everything balanced! Nothing too smokey, but you definitely want to taste smoke!

[@Just_the_Q]

Great job

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Thank you brotha!

[@rogerwilliamson1380]

Where can you get those adjustable screens that you’re using for the chicken?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

I got those at my local H‑E‑B! Not sure if you’re in TX, but if you are they have them there!

[@rogerwilliamson1380]

@@GulfCoastSmokeyes I’m in Pearland south of Houston. Thanks

[@juanmorua2156]

Could we get a tutorial on that injection for the chicken plz.

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Absolutely!

[@AlwaysForwardBBQ]

What’s the finishing dust consist of?

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Southern Hospitality and That Base 50/50 grinded up finely!

[@malissaization]

Where can i find the tiger strip rack

[@kevinbongard6772]

Nicely done Where can I get your rubs....I compete in kcbs & looking for some new flavor profiles

They turned out a bit too salty! So I didn’t turn them in.

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Complete noob question….your rib injection….is that something standard or your own recipe? I don’t want to ask what it is if it’s not cool to ask what it is. Know what I mean?

[@Well-I-Tried]

Congratulations on the win, that is impressive! Question please, what meat injector do you use? @gulfcoastsmoke

It’s the injector from Tractor Supply! Right here www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-50cc-proshot-ii-syringe
