Hi! I'm Harry Soo, a Grand Champion pitmaster from in Diamond Bar, near Los Angeles. Welcome to my vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.
On weekdays, I'm an IT nerd living a Dilbertesque existence in a fabric covered cubicle in downtown LA. I'm the head tour guide for a team of IT project managers who build datacenters, networks, servers, and infrastructure that helps bring tap water to 300 cities and 20 million residents in SoCal.
On weekends, I come alive as a pitmaster, competitor, and BBQ instructor. You've seen me on BBQ Pitmasters, Food Network, Chopped Grill Masters, Smoked, Cutthroat Kitchen, and local TV in California. My shtick is I've used a humble 18-inch Weber Smokey Mountain smoker to win 100+ first places and 1st place USA in the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) awards including best chicken, brisket, and sirloin; and I've won over 30 Grand Championships. I've personally taught 250+ classes and trained 4,000+ pitmasters in small hands-on dozen student classes in the US, Sydney, Perth, London, Kuala Lumpur, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii.
I get many questions weekly about how to grill and barbecue. Since I started cooking professionally in 2008, I've answered thousands via email, so I decided to post my answers via video to reach a wider audience. I'll do my best to post a video on my channel periodically. I upload vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.

This just goes to show u don’t need a very expensive smoker to cook great bbq. Awesome job Harry 👏👏👏

It’s like those golfers that tell you that it’s not about the driver, it’s about the golfer. So disappointing. 😂 I’ll stick to my Kettle for now then, I have to wait for my lottery win to upgrade anyways. Thanks Harry!

[@jlistetson]

“Cook with what you like” is such a great lesson that I’ll take to heart. I’ve been using my vision grill (kamado style which I got from my neighbor for free when he moved) and so far (minus the first time I used it with no how to vids) it has yielded great results. Your vids almost convinced me to get WSM since I thought it would be easier to mimic your teachings with it, but cooking with what you know and what you like is an invaluable lesson. Thank you for sharing your honest opinions about the range of pits!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

At the end of the day Justin, the gear does not matter so don't get GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) which plagues many keyboard cooks who don't really cook but surf the Internet all day long falsely believing that their Q is no good because it's the fault of their gear. They are paralyzed by obsessively researching the best pit and wasting hours arguing the merits and demerits of pits they own, and don't yet own, when a shovel, chicken wire, and a hole is the ground is all you need really to put out great Q.

[@dbsteve85]

That comment about Gear Acquisition Syndrome really hit me in the feels, because I have been considering a WSM, but am yet to even attempt a legitimate smoke in my Mastertouch kettle. Thanks for keeping me humbled and for being such a great ambassador to the hobby!

I have several different grills/smokers ect. Been cooking briskets for 30 yrs. I have been using a cheap 22 weber grill for about 5 years.

I’ve always wanted a WSM, but my wife and I have a kid on the way and we just moved so I haven’t gotten it. However one of my friends just gave me his 3 year old Kettle for free because he upgraded to the premium model. It’s not the WSM, but it’s totally great, plenty of smoke flavor, fun to cook on, and best of all it was free. I certainly can’t complain at all about that, so I’ve been using it ever since and love it. Thanks for all your effort on the test and sharing!

What an awesome video comparison! I gotta admit, I have the WSCG so I was secretly pulling for it, but the smoke ring on the WSM is ridiculous. Thanks for the great video and as always, for the good tips. EDIT: your attention to detail (like including the initial temps of the WSCG into the calculation) is always impressive, sir. Well done.

[@spitti3]

I started doing smoking on my kettle this year (only done grilling before). Your videos have helped a lot, and it's reassuring to know the kettle does the job as fine as a much more expensive product. I've still been eyeing a WSM, it seems a bit more convenient for low and slow cooking, and would complement the kettle well I think. Anyway, thank you for all the help and tips you've provided me so far!

[@daviddix2698]

Harry, as always you take your knowledge & and turn it into practical truth, with wisdom & clarity. Like you, if I'm going to obsess over something its going to be the quality of the food I am producing and the love that I have for it. I always say, I'll grill for anyone, but i only BBQ for those I love! Spreading BBQ love is a great motto. I have been considering upgrading from my 18" WSM which I DO LOVE, to the larger 22" for the simple reason, I would like more space to get better air flow for the larger cuts and hopefully more consistent temps. I have a very small footprint in my backyard which is why ultimately decided on the WSM to begin with. You can't beat the quality of product it produces for the price. That said, I like the versatility of Charcoal Summit has intrigued me, to have an alternative to my Summit Gas grill. I would really love to hear any thoughts and wisdom you could impart. Your video on cleaning my WSM, changed my relationship completely with that unit and I love them even more. Blessings & best regards!

Good morning Harry. You are either up late or up really early. Excellent video but didn’t help me decide which to buy. Right now I have a Traeger pellet smoker and I have charcoal barbecue and a propane barbecue. Propane barbecue has been used twice in three years and that was just to make quick burgers. Now I use it as an extra place to put food before and after cooking. Watching the video and your results makes me think of getting the kettle as a spare and extra barbecue. But......they all look great. Love the Way Mr. beans starts at 1 Side and goes right through to the other. Not very discerning what he obviously loves your cooking. Thanks dude.

Hey Brian,, I recommend you get a Kettle and save money!

[@cottonclarksa]

Good job, Harry. Your test is not officially done until it passes the Mr. Beans test! LOL! BTW... I love the G.A.S. analogy: Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Most excellent. It reminds me of golfers who go out and buy the latest, greatest driver or putter to supposedly improve their game... when instead they should be concentrating on THEMSELVES using the equipment they have first. Same is true in the backyard grilling world.

Best comment was about GAS. Older bbq videos are about looking for cues to see if your meat is cooked to temp, now it’s about investing ridiculous amounts of money on accessories and backyard fixes to make your kettle airtight. I’m glad you aren’t one of those infomercial guys.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

It's always the Pitmaster and never the Pit - Harry Soo

[@tkdguy5494]

I know what you mean. On the Weber kettle it seems like everyone wants an accessory instead of learning how to smoke meat. For example, over the last 5 years or so, the Slow n Sear seems to have made its way onto almost every "how to smoke on the Weber kettle" type of video. It's almost like all the experienced cooks out there have forgotten that you can just bank coals to one side of the kettle with a drip pan full of water on the other side. The SnS might be nice to have, but it is far from necessary.

Thanks for stopping by. My fav cooker nowaday is the one that is clean as that's my least fav chore. Once you get the hang of various types of smokers, it's a matter of deciding which one brings you most joy. Some days, I want to light a fire, some days I want to cook using WiFi on my phone. The key is to have joy cooking and not worry so much about the gear. Don't get G-A-S or gear acquisition syndrome which is the more common ailment I've seen teaching and doing demos around the world.

Can you give us another video about the other factors between those pits? Like, Which one is the easiest and most consistent to use? Does it hold temp well, does it hold enough charcoal to not need reloading, is it easy to setup and easy to clean, etc. Love your videos!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Yes Jared, already done so please feel free to browse, when you have time, the individual videos of each pit in my 330+ videos and 35 playlists. Thanks for watching

[@jaredmeit6127]

@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ that works too. Haha. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@arthurcastaneda9969]

Hey Harry love your videos!!.... I have a 22" Weber kettle grill and when I smoke a brisket I use the slow n sear with the water tray which is only on one side....I noticed that in this video when you were smoking your brisket in the Weber Kettle you used both sides with the charcoal trays to smoke your brisket what works best? And thanks again for the amazing videos!!!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Yes, my friends who use the SnS like it very much. I just use the OEM Weber Charcoal Wing basket and they work well also.

Great video.

I agree with you 100%. It's not so much about the equipment, it comes down to the skill of the cook and his, or her knowledge of being able to utilize what they have. Of course in your case I would have to give you the title of "CHEF"! Thanks for all of the attention to detail Harry 👍🏽

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

LOL Rodney! I'm no chef, just a cook! Thanks for watching!

[@Zachsmoparandmashedpotatos]

Good morning Harry!!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Good morning Zach!

[@nickma71]

Here is my question . Maybe it goes with your comment about those that ask about equipment. Why do you like the WSM 18"? Why not the 22' WSM?

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

I prefer my WSM18 as it has won 100+ first places, easy to carry, burns less fuel, cooks 1 brisket, 2 butts, 3 ribs, 16 pieces of chicken good for $10,000 prize money. I use the 22 to teach as I cook 12 ribs in class

[@Nope145]

Using Beanz to evaluate the best brisket is real science.

Great video, and love that you demonstrate that knowing what you’re doing is more important than the gear used to get there. I love my Summit, but there’s little doubt (none actually) that all four can turn out some tasty food. And that, in the end, is what it’s all about. The only real differences are the capacities, versatility, & convenience of each cooker. Moral of the story: Use what you’ve got (or get what you can comfortably afford) and try to master it.

[@miguelarrowsmith421]

Cool video I really like your advice cook with what you like at the end of the day do what you love to do I have three different cookers and I love to use all of them about to get a new one soon lol.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Thanks for watching Miguel! Love what your cook and cook on what you love!

[@jmeds_jammin]

Looks like they all make a pretty mean BBQ

Spread it daddy

Will do!

[@MiddletownMike]

Being an EX6 owner I'm always appreciative of any video you create using it and I am very happy that it stood up to the other grills..... Can you do a video on smoking a holiday turkey on the EX6? I've seen the other turkey videos you've done but would really like to is one done on the EX6 before I do it.... thanks!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

It will be similar to my other Turkey videos if you have not seen my Turkey Playlist. The pit is not the most important part of your toolkit as it's always the pitmaster and never the pit!

[@lawrencegarcia1370]

Love my webber kettle.

I just got mine and smoke ribs for the first time with surprising success . I M surprised no leftovers were left for Jan 1st for the first time ever .

[@Page001B]

Listening to the end of the video I think you might have answered… I will need to think more about the fact that this new pit would be more about not having to tend I fire all day( I love doing it but I would love a break from time to time and still be able to make brisket)… hope you find time to help me think about it and maybe decide if a pellet grill is what I am after…

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

There is no perfect pit as you can see from my 450 videos and 35 playlists. The lesson I teach is don't get G-A-S. or gear acquisition syndrome worrying about the pedigree, cost, features, etc. Just cook, on a $150 Kettle, and enjoy the smoke, fire, and meat when you spread BBQ love. Your family and friends just want great BBQ. They don't need to get into the 3 hour arguments and Jerry Springer fist fights of what pit cooked the food or whether the pitmaster cooked fat up or fat down or what brand of pellets will do the magic! You are agonizing over the wrong priorities! It Always the Pitmaster and Never the Pit - Harry Soo

[@thelog86]

I never get a smoke ring on wsm. I have 4 smokers and that is the only one that i have an issue with.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Place your wood chunks under the briquettes. Spray every 30 mins after you see the crust starting to form.

[@blink555]

How about a fuel comparison video - your opinions on all wood vs a wood charcoal mix vs all charcoal (even lump vs briquette)

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Will do!

[@bobbyw4264]

Thanks so much for sharing your BBQ knowledge and skills with us, Harry!!! I just bought a Weber Smokey Mountain 18", getting ready to smoke a turkey for Thanksgiving. I probably could have gotten away with buying the smaller 14", since it's just me and Bear, my black Labrador Retriever, but decided to get the next size up for when I have company. Actually, Bear was pushing for the 22", but since we're both struggling with a little weight gain, we compromised on the 18" :-) Best wishes to you and your family!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

The WSM18 is an excellent choice Bobby!
