Join me as I discuss my background, how I developed my passion for barbecue and cooking outside, and what's next for Swine & Bovine Barbecue.

Thanks for the shoutout, Drew! ❤👏

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

I’ll sing the gospel of NSBBQU & LeRoy and Lewis until the end of time!

[@kevcleaver]

Always good to hear the background of the KZbinrs I watch and see how their style evolved.

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Great video. Was an interesting listen!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Appreciate it Dave!

[@christopherhernandez4611]

Thx for the bbq bio. I thought you was a firefighter or police man. Got myself a chudbix and it's a learning curve and is mainly why I watch your videos.

[@gourmetwoodsman]

So true, ten people could do the same cook and end up with ten uniquely different videos! I had friends try to convince me for a while to start a youtube channel because of my passion for food but I resisted for the same reason. I thought I would just be regurgitating what others are already doing. I finally gave in and posted my first video in May. I've been slowly growing a community and an audience but most of all I've really been enjoying the creative process of making videos. I'm liking the videos of yours that I've seen, keep up the good work. I'm subbed!

[@bigal7373]

Thanks for sharing. You are one of my favorites. You're down to earth. Keep it up!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Thank you!

[@jbroadnax723]

Great story. Great channel. Keep the content coming!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Thank you!

[@SuperPfeif]

It's really cool hearing people's BBQ journey. 👍

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Thanks for watching!

[@chriswillis9]

Enjoyed this video. It gives me some insight into trying something new out of my comfort zone. My family keeps telling me to share my cooking via social media and KZbin because I love to cook all things including bbq. Thank you, keep up the good work. I am also in IT.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Share away! It’s been a fun creative outlet. I worked with a Chris Willis in Chicago. Smart guy

[@loganneubauer6476]

I started following you due to your Chud Pit & Chuds seasonings. Brad is the man. I'm from North side of Chicago, might have to make my way to the windy city smoke out so I can shake both of your hands & pound a beer! Brads briskets are the best! Keep up the good work!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Love it! See you at Windy City Smokeout!

[@orlandorivera164]

I am glad your video popped up. New subscriber alert! Lol You watched the same people I do. You seem genuine and I appreciate that. I have been a single father to a wonderful and beautiful daughter, but money has always been tight. I started off with a cheap gas grill and started watching Malcolm and I just knew I wanted some smoke so I rigged up a fan and a smoke tube and loved it. I ended up buying a Dyno glo smoker ( I know no one has ever heard about it lol) but that is what I have been using for 5 years and if there are no ribs on Saturday my daughter questions me. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Take care.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

I love it and thanks for subscribing! There are lots of good cookers and ways to make excellent food outside. Keep on making those ribs!

[@DaveDabomb]

Hello Drew! Nice to meet you! Thanks for letting us know a little about you. I’m originally from Boston and now live in Western NC at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I’ve always loved grilling myself. Got into smoking about 12 years ago. I bought my first smoker, a weber, Smokey Mountain 14”. Now I own a 22” weber smoky mountain and just bought an Orion bullet smoker. Man, the ribs looked awesome, I like your content, so I subbed, liked, and rang the bell. Looking forward to seeing more of your cooks! This is Dave at Dabomb Smokes, cheers And much success on your channel!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

I love it! The chicken quarters on your Orion looked fantastic

[@DaveDabomb]

@@swinebovinebarbecue thank you!

[@knoxavebbq]

dang..... i had no idea that i had any influence on people. haha. im just here to encourage any and all who wanna give it a shot. i would not recommend to people to do it the way i've done it. lol. but we all owe ourselves an opportunity to try what we love to do and to see what sticks. im a fan!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Of course! Happy to call you a friend and looking forward to seeing you at Windy City Smokeout

[@BIGPACKSMOKERS]

Yup dope merch

[@HollyBWilkins]

Can’t wait to make my debut on the next one!😘

[@kipkadlec1429]

Awesome story! Mine is similar, went down to Texas 2 years ago to pick up my LSG backyard pit and stoped to eat at truth bbq and it completely blew my mind how good the food was. Now we have a 500 gallon primitive and are doing bbq events on the side!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Hell yeah Kip! Have enjoyed seeing your instagram posts with the 500 gallon and events

[@kipkadlec1429]

Thanks drew! We are going to be at Windy City again this year so we will have to come “meat” up and say hi haha.

[@jareddyer2900]

Great video

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Thank you!

[@hojobbq]

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Very nice! It’s July 13-16 and it’s a great time.

[@martinlarbi5896]

First time watching you. From Accra Ghana in West Africa. Built me a couple of smokers and enjoying bbqing in the last 3 yrs. Learning a lot youtubers like you. Keep it up.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching

[@okcharleys]

I am glad you took their advice on YT Drew! And also glad we made the decision to take that class at L&L. Congrats on the new place - excited for the merch and plans down the line!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Appreciate it and love seeing what you’re doing in Jersey. Keep it up!

[@ethanmyers9000]

Can’t wait to order a swine and bovine hat that’s badass🤙🏻

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Appreciate it!

[@Philambbydamn1925]

WOOOOO DAMN PIG! From New Braunfels, TX by way of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Love the content.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Appreciate it and Go Hogs!

[@KingTheDreamer]

I subscribed after seeing you on Chuds channel with a Hog polo on and, after watching this, it's uncanny how much we have in common. Keep going, man! Hopefully we can cook up together someday! And Woo Pig!!

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

I love it! Appreciate you watching and Go Hogs!

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Great video and content. I have a similar story (grew up in HTX, learned bbq from my grandpa, physicist in VA, rediscovered bbq with a Weber from my brother as a wedding gift and elevated it with a buddy starting a bbq joint and inviting me to help when I can). Keep inspiring 🤙🏼

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

That’s awesome! Webers are one of the most versatile cookers available. Thanks for sharing and appreciate you watching

[@sweetcsbbq8872]

Good Video! It's always nice to learn more about the background of the people we are watching and learning how to cook from. Keep the videos coming.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Thank you!

[@SilverFoxCooking]

Great video. It is nice to hear the story of how each person gets into the cooking and video scene. Keep up the great work and good luck with the upcoming merchandise and products.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Appreciate you watching!

[@christianholloway]

Awesome video Drew. Good to learn more of your backstory. The BBQ whiskey den!! Build it man. I'm a big whiskey fan as well. Keep killing it 🔥

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

The bbq whiskey den is definitely happening! Thanks for watching and hope all is well

[@spicelandsmokeandsear]

Very glad you started the channel. I’ve been loving your content since the beginning.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Appreciate you watching!

[@johnclemente8214]

Great job getting on YT. I have been experimenting on the direct heat method, which I saw on Chuds videos before, and then ran into yours the other day. I did a search just to see who else enjoys the direct heat method. It's good to see others, trying it out. Keep up the good videos! Thank you for sharing.

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Direct heat is the way! Thanks for watching

[@JamieStuff]

As an old school photographer and videographer, I'll say that direct sunlight is NOT your friend. The dynamic range between the lit and shadowed parts is too great for the camera to catch. For the shot starting at 11:45, using a scrim (such as a white curtain or bed sheet) to block the direct sunlight would have been very helpful. It would have toned down the brightness, and diffused the light into a much more even tone. For the "talking head" portion, had you shot that at the time you shot the rib cut, but sat in the shade of the scrim, the lighting would have been just about perfect. Remember, you don't need to shoot the clips in the same order as they will be in the final video. And remember, you can always use the Chud approach... shoot at night. :)

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

Thank you very much for the insight! I fought with it all day. No NVD filter, blown out. NVD filter, couldn’t see the food. I’m definitely an amateur when it comes to photography/videography and need to do some research. Your tips are appreciated!

[@beefandpork]

In 2019 I moved to MO by way of Chicagoland. I’m in SWMO now. You coming back to Arkansas in September to cook some squirrel? 😃

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

SWMO and NWA are some of the most beautiful parts of the country. No squirrel hunting but definitely calling some hogs!

[@beefandpork]

@@swinebovinebarbecue agreed! Love this part of the country.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

[@thejollyskunk]

Ever seen mojo bbq? And get a kamado joe; it’s red and bigger than an egg 😂 also great style of vid

[@swinebovinebarbecue]

It would be hard to pass up a kamado joe if I went with a ceramic cooker. They come loaded and do a great job. I’ve seen Mojo on instagram but not KZbin. Subscribed!
