BBQ with Franklin
Pitmaster Aaron Franklin takes a boisterous road trip of BBQ culture -- the people, the places, and of course the food. Ten half-hour episodes celebrate the traditions and storied histories passed down through the generations, as well as those breathing new life into this distinctly American culture.

Dude seems like so much fun to hang out with! Jokes and BBQ all day...what a life.
-
First time I see someone with a winch on their truck use one 😂 Pulling propane tanks out of a ditch to make a smoker is definitely a reason to have one 👍
-
He makes everything look so simple. Wish that the video was longer.🤔👏🏾👏🏾
-
I love how the video starts feeling like a realistic and accessible DIY project, until Aaron starts flexing his welding skills lol
-
I live in South America and I am South American... I watch a lot of BBQ because I like it... but the best thing is with Franklin... he is the most real person on the networks... he behaves like we all do in life real... my respects 👏👏👏👏

Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.

Great video Aaron! Really appreciate you showing the tips and tricks you’ve learned over time. Loved the proper use of available equipment to retrieve a sharpie! Well done sir!
-
I keep thinking, with the size of his business now, and judging bbq tv shows, doing interviews, and everything else, is this the best use of his time? Then I realized it’s probably his FAVORITE use of his time. Even though making videos is a pain, he probably enjoys building pits and having minimal interaction with others once in a while. I would.

BBQ tastes better when cooked on something you built. Very nice.
-
Not only are you a master smoker, you a great fabricator! Well done Aaron!
-
Nice. I added old axe handles for my doors. They stay cool and I think that they look nice. I don't treat them with anything and they have lasted for over 6 years now. I am considering building another pit and really appreciate your insights.

I love my 18” WSM water smoker. I disagree with the heat retention, i easily go 12 hours on a full load of charcoal before i have to add any more fuel. I think it’s perfect for smoking pork butts.

No matter how many times i watch this or how many times it gets reuploaded, i’ll always enjoy it
-
He's a better natural presenter than 90% of the professionals
-
I used this video as a guide to build my 250 gallon offset years ago. This is solid gold information.
-
This whole series is fantastic.
-
Aaron, Your dedication to the craft is commendable! I'm very impressed with your abilities and knowledge.
-
Franklins book is the source for all the Texas cooking secrets. The book may be a teacher to a lot of the new guys popping up on the scene. Good stuff
-
I really like how a semi-insulated firebox was stressed. When I build bigger fires with a bigger coal bed, my briskets taste so much better. I’m upgrading to a 250 and there’s only a few builders who have semi insulated, most are fully insulated.

You make me wish I had a back capable of building a pit! Thanks for the inspiration/aspiration!
