    This guy is the best. So humble, helpful, and pleasant.

    Leo- you can learn to make BBQ sauce by watching the BBQ with Franklin episode "The Payoff". Sauce making starts around 2:31.
  • @west_saeed7900
    Man this seems like such an honest and satisfying profession. Always learning something new to improve.

    What I love about Aaron is that he tells you and shows everything he does, which for some veteran pitmasters, that's sacrilege.
  • @Jones572
    Aaron set the he wheels in motion! Made everybody step up their bbq game. Thanks Aaron 👍🏾💯

    It's an Old Country BBQ Pits Ranch Hand Coal Smoker, bought at a sporting goods store in Austin, TX.
  • @cmoore185
    He is really good. He doesn't have any secret rubs or sauces and he keeps it simple to understand.
  • @skycap93
    "dont touch that because it's hot" touches it*
  • @RustyChevy
    I love that your in klrn. I really appreciate all the knowledge
  • @SheerasPlace
    That's awesome! I have several smokers and cookers and it aggravates me that they all have the temp guage way too high to get an accurate reading on what's goin on with the meat. I don't care what the temperature is at the top of the barrel (You need to know what's goin on with the meat and not the top of the cooker), so kudos to you for pointing it out to folks and makin it simple.
  • @stefanskala404

    I like how he walks. he looks like a little kid having fun.
  • @egrocket94
    Aaron could you please do a vid on controlling temp with this style smoker? Great channel!
  • @BOH8ME
    Franklin being a lost in the world Austinite these videos helped me satisfy my Texas BBQ Fix. I wish you would do some new ones around timing and temp. However from what my friends tell me your very busy.
  • @MrYeodaddy
    I’ve been using an offset smoker like this for years. So versatile and, for me, the only way to bbq, Good vid.
  • @egrocket94
    Thanks for shopping at Academy Sports Franklin! Awesome!
  • First 43 seconds is why I love this guy. Simple offset smoker with no fancy electronics or built in fans and all that crap. The way it should be!!! I live around a lot of people that own pellet grills and Traegers. To me that’s not BBQ that those produce, no heart or skill goes into it. BBQ isn’t set it and forget it!!! BBQ takes time and trail and error.
  • @richleviness4621
    nice vids very helpful thank you! Franklin do you have any tips on maintaining the fire for a even temp, I noticed you chunk your wood, does that help hold the temp?
  • thanks for the education on brisket it helped my cooking skills a lot.
