Been watching your videos for 1 year now after I picked up a slightly used WSM and I can't thank you enough. People think I've been doing this for years. Beyond helpful for me as a beginner. Love my WSM, too easy 🙌
I had to write to you as soon as I coould! My first Pork Butt smoked for 12 hours and turned out fantastic! I so love your videos and I have learned so much from you. I now understand the "stall" and other terms you use. This smoked Butt cooked exactly as shown by you and I also used a Weber Rocky Mountain Smoker. 250-300 degrees throughout the cook and the cooking, went textbook as shown by you. I honestly don't think the rub made so much difference in the taste of the finished product but the jury is still out on that aspect. I did fisrt coat in mustard as shown and then used a rub (generously applied) from a local grocery store made for Pork Butts (so the label says). I must say, I enjoy your videos so much! I was raised in Alabama and now, living in New Mexico, I got a taste of "Real" Southern USA BBQ, the sandwich I grew up knowing and now have been missing so much!! Thank you again!
Hey T-Roy! I'm from Southern British Columbia and just wanted to take a minute to thank you for such a great channel. I'm really enjoying all your tips, and they are paying off with delicious results. My next purchase is going to be the WSM as I want to be able to do briskets. I use a Weber Kettle for smoked ribs, chicken etc...and been experimenting with pecan wood for the first time. Like it a lot. I'm glad to hear you are on the mend from your surgery. All the best to you and Karen! Shane
Hey Shane, I truly appreciate the support. I am recovering fine and, as you can tell, I'm back to cooking BBQ again. I hope you do get a WSM. You will enjoy it immensely and it is truly a "set it and forget it" smoker. Just give it about 4-6 cooks to get some carbon build up on the inside and after that you will be able to easily maintain temps. I hope you have a wonderful Summer of BBQ cooking!!! Cheers Shane!!!
Hey Troy. I did your mod with the river country and the dual coal grates. Great ideas. I also secured my coal ring to them with hose clamps so I can pick it all up and shake the ashes over a trash can after it's been extinguished and cooled so it holds the leftover coals for the next use. Thanks for sharing your ideas and making these great vids.
That is a great idea attaching the coal grates to the ring! I may have to give that a shot! Glad I could help inspire you to mod your WSM. I love cooking on mine and when I'm swimming I can easily see the temp with that huge River Country dial. LOL Happy smoking my friend!!! Cheers, Troy
Thank You for posting this video, I've been cooking on a Weber kettle for 30 years and decided to up game a little and get a WSM, did a few Butt cooks "low & slow" and they came out ok, did the "hot & fast" yesterday, 10 hour cook, 2 hour rest and best pulled pork yet. Thanks again, Don
So glad to hear that Don!!! You could probably push it to a higher cooking temp if really pressed for time or wrap it after the internal temp is about 140F. Thanks for the comment and I appreciate your support buddy!!! Cheers, Troy
Great to see you manning you're WSM Roy, it's been a while. That Pork Butt looks fabulous... and love your "Layers Of Flavors" BBQ Philosophy. Overnight Friday into Saturday morning I did 3 Pork Butts for BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches on my WSM that we had on Saturday for our early Memorial Day cookout. The weather is not suppose to be nice here on Memorial Day, and some family couldn't make it today, so we had our outing on Saturday. Did three Pork Butts because I was cooking for 18 people and we love leftovers. But man... there were fabulous. And I also did some BBQ Pork & Bean with bacon and pork roll that I put on the Weber after I pulled the Pork Butts off. Best wishes to you and Karen my friend...
Hey George, sounds like good times over at your place this weekend! That is a lot of pulled pork! I just love the smell of BBQ smoking all day. I appreciate you watching George and hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day! Karen says hello!!!! Cheers buddy!
Hey Greg, thanks bro!!! It turned out great with the Sriracha sauce. Had a nice kick of heat on the back of your throat! Give me a holler sometime!!! Wishing you a wonderful Summer!
+T-ROY COOKS Hey Troy can you ever make a vid on how to put your thermometer in a pork butt? It gets tricky when you have one or two blade bones in the meat to get the most accurate temp, hope you understand what im trying to ask thanks bud.
Hi Robert, I do know what you are asking and I will try to remember to show that in a future video. I actually did show it in the original footage of this video, but edited out that portion because my dogs were barking. LOL
+T-ROY COOKS Lol ok bud I did a butt the other day with the maverick and the probe was near a bone and temp wouldnt move past 184, it was done the other areas but could have overcooked it if i didnt monitor it, thanks Robert from Jax Fl, il send you some everglades seasoning one day you will love it
Huge thanks from central Kentucky. Dig your videos... no fluff, just a guy with a passion. My WSM is getting a workout! If this is up your alley... would love to see you do a smoked meatloaf. Thank you T-roy.
At first I wasn't all excited about the video thinking just another Porky video and by the time it was over I thoroughly enjoyed it. I always love the way you talk and demonstrate the different layered flavors you add to the meat. Even better is you utilize whatever you have in the kitchen to make it all come together. So many ingredients work good together by the time to cook is finished. The candy glaze at the end made me want to fly over for a nice monstrous pulled pork sandwich. Well done video T-Roy!!!!
Thanks Craig, I do try to utilize ingredients I have on hand. That Rib Candy is some great stuff! You should check it out sometime. I always keep several bottles in my pantry. I appreciate the kind words and thank you very much for watching. Hope you have a great week buddy!!! Cheers!
Hey Troy, glad you're back to cooking. Glad you liked that rub we sent you. Man that looked good. I may just cook me one this weekend myself... Thanks again for trying our product.. Brad
Hey Brad, so sorry I could not remember that you send it to me. I received the rub right before my surgery in February and I have short term memory loss sometimes. The rub was fantastic! Now, I can't wait to try the other one! I love the color of the rub and the bark was outstanding!!! Awesome product!
That's what I'm talking about, classic BBQ. Also right on time, cooking a 7 and a half pound picnic roast and some ribs tomorrow on my WSM. First low and slow cook. Can't wait!! Cheers, Troy!
Thanks Paul, it is a good time to cook some pig. I bet yours will be fine also!! Just let the WSM do all the work and you'll be fine. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for watching buddy!
Wow, T Roy is back and better then ever!! Excellent video, quality, sound, lighting, explaining, location. Just an all around top-notch video. Thanks T Roy!
Thanks very much Rick. I wasn't sure if this video would be too long, but I'm getting a lot of compliments for going in to detail, so I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching!!
Really enjoyed this video. I was able to go to Myron mixons cook school about 4 years ago and I cook the same way he taught. Hot and fast. I cook my butts at 300 for about 3 1/2 hours then wrap till we hit 205. Some great stuff. David is a really great guy. Thanks man, really loving these videos.
Yep, David told me how he helped Myron during one of those cooking classes. I'm old school and prefer to cook low & slow unless I am pressed for time. Glad you are enjoying the videos. As you can see, I do like to eat some good stuff! LOL
Gonna be following this "hot and fast" on my WSM tomorrow. It'll be my initial cook on it. Enjoy your videos and find them helpful and entertaining. God bless and happy new year.
I recently made pork butts. I put the butts directly over the heat to get a sear on them. Then moved em to the top rack with a pan of water under. Spritzed with red wine vinegar and water 50/40 every 30 minutes. On the smoker the temp was 275 for 2 hrs....hot as hell after 2 hrs when the butts went to the top rack with water...pulled from smoker after 3 hrs and change....put in a covered foil pan at 420 until internal temp on butt was 205. Came out almost perfect.
T-Roy ! This clip was so good, I had to watch it twice ! Now I do not have a WSM (I will look into one now !), I am new with all this - but my little Traeger is smoke'n along with ya'll. You have passed on some serious jewels of wisdom and I wanted to thank you very much for taking the time to share ! As I type this, I am 7 hours into my first wee 6 pounder - smoken away and Im twitching out for the tasty results. Plateaued at 165, and I knew what to do... Nuthin! Just let it cook ! Thumbed UP, and Subscribed ! I am looking forward to watching more ! 8-) B-Rad from Toronto
Hey B-Rad!!!! I appreciate you watching brother! You can get good flavor from a pellet cooker like the Traeger, but the WSM gives a little better flavor in my opinion. I bet your pork butt was fabulous regardless! Happy smoking brother!
I watch all the BBQ videos I can on the internet and yours are very good. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. You should make a video just about all your devices (the yoder, WSM, and whatever else you have). Pros/Cons, how you choose which one to cook on, etc.
Thanks very much Jeremy, I appreciate the suggestion. I have talked about some of those things on my Thursday chat videos, but it may be a good idea to just concentrate on those specifics you mentioned. I appreciate the support brother!!!
I picked up a WSM recently and I have to say your videos are amazing. You explain everything so well. I went straight in the deepend with a longer brisket cook for my first. I attribute your advice to its success! Thank you!... p.s. pork butt is next on the menue
Thanks Rob, that made my day buddy!!! I appreciate the support and I do enjoy cooking and sharing what I've learned with others out there. Have a great weekend my friend!!!
I hear ya Lyle, it's hard to get the WSM to maintain 300F in the Summer, much less Winter! I really enjoyed smelling the BBQ smoking away again. This was my 1st BBQ since this past December, so I've been itching to do a cook. There will be no stopping me now brother!!! LOL I appreciate you watching and wish you and the family a Very Happy Memorial Day!!!
I've had my 22" WSM for a couple of years now and I love it!!! I've cooked just about everything on it except pork butt. After watching your video, I am definitely going to try it!! Thanks
Hey Eric, the WSM makes an awesome pork butt. I do prefer smoking it around 225F, but hot & fast will also work fine as you could tell in this video. Have fun buddy and keep that smoke rollin'!!! Thanks for watching!
atta boy, T-Roy! nice to have you back!! Just revisited your same WSM butt cook from last year. I'm giving her a go tomorrow on mine. This video came just in time. Do you chose a certain smoker for a certain job being that you have 3?
Hey there Hazmat, I do not choose cookers depending on what I'm cooking. Well, that's not entirely true. If I want authentic BBQ, I will always choose my Yoder Wichita offset pit. It produces the finest tasting meat that rivals local BBQ joints famous here in Austin , TX. But, having said that, I try to show love to all of my cookers. If I haven't used one for a while, like my WSM, I will do a video using it. I realize that the WSM is the cheapest cooker I have and most of my followers will have that compared to those having the Yoder or Kamado Joe, so I try to do cooks that show my followers how I cook stuff on the WSM. So, bottom line, I like to spread the love!!! LOL I am sure your cook will be excellent and I wish I was there to help you tend to the fire and smell those fine BBQ smells. I hope you have a great weekend and thanks so much for watching and for the question!!! Cheers, Troy
That looked so good. Thanks for posting. If you don't mind me asking, What kind of tripod are you using that lets you make those adjustments so quickly? I have to fiddle with knobs when I move the camera...pain in the butt. I need to check out that rub company since they are in my home town.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! I use Manfrotto tripods. The one I use is carbon fiber, so it's pretty light. And the Manfrotto head I use is filled with fluid to help minimize jerky motion. The rub was really tasty! I hear that it's a competition BBQ team that produces it and they've won quite a bit on the circuit.
Thanks for the gear tips. I appreciate it. I'll check out that rub company. Seriously, Allen is not that big. They probably live within a mile or 2 of me. lol.
No vinegar based sauce!!! Some sweet and spicy molasses/ketchup/mustard/brown sugar spiced sauce would go great with that pork! Since you added the Sriracha sauce, you just need the sweet, thick succulent sorghum molasses/brown sugar/ketchup base (I use Chili Sauce instead)/mustard, roasted garlic, pinch or Cheyenne pepper, Memphis style sauce. I really like Kansas City style sauce though. I just grew up in Memphis, TN and the BBQ pork is extremely excellent there!!! The sauce there is thicker than vinegar based, sweeter, and a bit spicy! I am sure that you have been there before. BBQ pulled pork and ribs of any kind are my favorite food. You are such an inspiration to cooking! I love your videos, Sir. Thank you!! Please keep sharing them.
Man I had one of those a ton of years ago - My first Grill after I Married - I used for a slow smoked Ham 94 Days) - I had one piece and went back for more - Several of my Buddies were picking tiny pieces off what remained off the Bone Carcass - Great Cookers. I had pieces of Lemon Peel, Apple Chunks, Apple Cider, and heck, a lot of stuff in there - Juicy, Delicious and Yep, GONE in a Heartbeat, and it wasn't small, I think like 15 Lbs.
Yo T Roy, i have to say man, i didn't know anything about BBQ never BBQed in my LIFE, i watched your vids, and im pumping out ribs and Brisket like crazy. man thank you for all you do, i love your vids! my Sister lives in Austin to, i fell in love with Texas and Texas BBQ the first day i was there. stay cool man, love your vids!
Thanks very much Matt. I'm always happy to help when I can and I'm thrilled that you are now cooking some fine BBQ. I bet you drive your neighbors nuts like I do!!! LOL I appreciate you watching and hope you have a fabulous Summer of smoked meats!!! Cheers, Troy
Hey Tony, if you see someone lurking around your home, it may be me. I love Pork butt, ribs, and sausage!!! Hell man, I love any meat that has been smoked! LOL Thanks for watching Tony and I appreciate your support!
I'm new to the game but love it so much. Especially tending the fire. Doing my first pork butt tomorrow. Have had great success with my briskets, mealoaf (which I hated until I smoked) and ribs! Anxious to try the butt! Thanks for all the help. Especially the video on fire management. Helped me so much!
Troy great to see you again! I'm drooling at the pork!!! Couple things, I was just on Austin PBS. I put my segment on my channel...2ndly I went from 300 lbs down to 180 since my son was born! Keep the BBQ vids coming!! Lovem.
Holy moly Danny, that is a lot of weight loss dude!!! I am still losing weight and am about 80% full strength now, but am feeling much better. The pork was delicious and it sure felt good to be smoking some BBQ again. What were you on PBS for? Now I've got to go check out your channel. So, are you in Austin?
T Roy you are the master when it comes to barbecue. This pork butt looked like it was prepared to perfection. Nice job as always. My friend enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.
Hey Glen, always great hearing my you my friend!!! Yes, the butt turned out fabulous! The bark was awesome and the meat was plenty juicy even cooking at a higher temp. Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend also!!!
You seemed to have recovered fro your illness! NICE!!! Happy Memorial day...... Typical bbq here this weekend. That pork butt looks great....... we'll give it a try.... Thanks for great videos!
Hey Ken, I am doing much better my friend! It sure felt great to be cooking BBQ again. Hope you have a fine weekend yourself. Save me some BBQ buddy!! Cheers!
Seasoning bag? LOL. Try this: Salt, pepper, hot paprika, fennel(lots of fennel) red pepper, garlic, coriander (lots of coriander seeds) and black mustard seeds. You can thank me with money (lots of it). :) Love your videos!
Appreciate your video ! I have just purchased a smoker grill similar to the Weber. Haven't been able to use it yet. I have never used one before, but, your video gave me a lot of good tips I had not thought of. Thanks again !
I'm glad to hear that I have helped to inspire you with your cooks. I know you are going to enjoy your new smoker/grill. Just have fun with it and enjoy the fine food you are going to be pulling off of it. I appreciate you watching John!!! Cheers brother!
Thanks Dan, I actually threw the Sriracha on it in your honor. I wanted something with a little heat and pork butt always looks so nice on the cooker with a "red" type sauce on it. The Sriracha worked wonderful and gave the bark nice color and some heat. Hope you give it a try sometime. I really enjoyed the flavor! Have a great weekend brother!!! Thanks for watching!
I’m used to adding wood chips every 45 minutes until 160 degrees and then wrapping, back on the smoker until about 200 degrees. I know you had 2 blocks of hickory. Did that provide a smoky taste?
Use the rub, skip the rib candy and anything else. Put the vinegar sauce in the spray bottle and use it frequently in place of all the other stuff. The results might surprise you. I've been making my ribs the same way for 30 years. It works.
Hey Thomas, great to hear from you again buddy!!! I was very pleased with the color and flavor of the bark. That was some fine tasting butt!!! Have a wonderful Summer my friend!!!
T-ROY COOKS You are always welcome My friend. I just cook four this past Thursday, and they were wonderful, but they definitely didn't hold the color like what you have here. Maybe too, I need to check too into some of the rub that you are using. For the time being I will probably have to keep using what I have, until someone complains . Thanks again My Friend
Thumbs up on the hot and fast! I do that style more often than not these days. Love it. Man, I need to get me some of that rib candy. Looks good on everything you put it on!
That rib candy is good stuff!!! I order mine directly from Texas Pepper Jelly dot com. And I usually get 4-6 bottles at a time to help keep shipping more affordable.
Just purchased a WSM for some summer bbq's myself. Also got some of that Texas bbq rub too. That pull pork sure looks good! Love the videos keep em coming! Thank you for all the tips!
Congrats on the WSM Craig. You are going to have so much fun cooking on that WSM. And the Texas BBQ rubs are awesome!!! You should also check out Texas Pepper Jelly and get some of their Rib Candy. I put a link for it in the description box since I used Rib Candy in this video. Happy cooking my friend and thanks for the support!! Cheers, Troy
Awesome cook, Troy. That pork looked mighty fine! Have an awesome summer and I look forward to more videos this summer. Your backyard looks like a great place to hang out and smoke meat!!
Hey Lee, thanks very much brother!!! I spend a lot of time hanging out in my backyard during the Summer and love the smell of meat cooking and wood burning. Hope you have a wonderful Summer also!!! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!!
Thanks very much! It sure does feel good to be cooking BBQ again. I appreciate you watching and I'll have a lot more BBQ videos coming up this Summer. Cheers!!!
Happy Memorial Day to 'ya Troy. Hope you are having a great day,God bless those who have given their life for our country. I'm very grateful,being a veteran of the Army. Well enjoy the rest of your day
Great video. I have a new WSM and am looking to do some pulled pork after a few test cooks with chicken breasts. Doing my homework before venturing further.
Hey Tom, I've been neglecting my WSM, so I figured I would show it some love. Plus, the lid is much lighter for me to lift than the lid of the Wichita or KJ. LOL I love that Rib Candy! It's some really good stuff. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Tom!!!
It does have a consistency like a simple syrup, but it is flavored with different fruits and has Habenero peppers in it to give it some heat. It is well balanced though, so the heat level is about like that of a jalapeno.
Hey Troy! Great to see you getting your BBQ on again brother! It's that time of the year to fire up the grills, and I'm looking forward to many more videos from you Troy :) Really great to see you back in action!
Thanks Rus, I appreciate that!!! It sure felt good to be tending to a fire again and smelling the BBQ cooking. I sure did miss it. This is going to be a fantastic Summer!!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video brother! Hope you and the family have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!
Thanks Kyle, it felt great to be cooking BBQ again. I like the way the butt turned out cooking it hot & fast. I will definitely be doing it this way again soon. I appreciate you watching!
Come on man, 8 1/2 pound butt in 10hrs? LOL It was superb!!!! I hear you've been busy lately, but when you have time, give me a holler. I miss ya bro!!!!
T-Roy great as always brother. Question though, since the fat cap is up how much of the Sriracha sauce actually penetrates through it to the meat which is facing down? That fat cap was still pretty thick.
Great question Eric, the Sriracha does not penetrate the fat cap which is why I brushed it along the sides. Also, heating up the Sriracha tames down the heat level of it, so it did add flavor, but not a lot. It did make the butt look pretty though! It would have worked better if I had the fat cap down and then brushed on the Sriracha sauce. I appreciate you watching buddy! Have a great Summer!
What's up Travis!!!! Dude, it was great chatting with you on the CMC live stream. Carolina knows how to do pulled pork. Most folks here in Texas don't even bother cooking pork the right way. I try to incorporate different cooking techniques from around the globe into my cooking, so hopefully my pulled pork will match, or be close to, what folks have in the Carolina's. Thanks for watching brother!!!
Hey T-roy! I've been a fan of your videos for a long time. I actually bought my WSM because of you and follow your methods all the time. That's a killer lookin butt, I'm excited summer is finally back. Got a question though man, how do you go about cleaning your water bowl? I started using foil in mine cause the mess was tough to deal with! Between the fat and the burned on stuff. Thanks man, keep up the awesome videos!
Hey there Kipp, I appreciate the loyalty and support buddy!! I don't worry much about the water pan or the inside walls of the WSM. I basically just hose out the water pan. I have never cleaned the inside walls of the WSM, but if I get too much carbon flaking off of the inside lid, I will lightly brush the flakes off of the inside lid with a soft brush. Only other thing I clean are the grates and I just brush them down with a grill brush. Hope that helps! Thanks again Kipp!!! Happy smoking brother!!
Hi, Troy. That ham looks KILLER! You've scored another one. I am amazed at how it turned out. I have a question: how many recipes do you have in your library and you got some recipes in the works? Have an awesome day, good buddy.
Hey Byron, thanks very much! It did turn out really good. That rub, Srirachi, and Rib Candy really made a good bark with great flavor. I'm not sure how many recipes I have, but I do have a book case full of cooking books and most of them are really old. I do have some recipes in the works that I am trying to perfect before putting on video. I appreciate you watching Byron and hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend buddy!!!
Fantastic Vid...Firing up a 7LB Butt as I type on my Oklahoma Jo Highlander here in my Backyard of Memphis!....as a TH-cam myself, I am curious as to what camera you are using.. Very crisp and smooth footage!
Love your channel been watching a lot of your WSM videos just started smoking and first attempt was a failure tasted ok but tenderness wasn’t there so started watching videos to see what I’ve done wrong since I’m a man I didn’t need instructions wrong but with a little help from you I think this weekend it’ll be a lot better I’ll be doing a pork butt
That sounds like a great idea! I try to use whatever I have on hand when possible which is why I used the Sriracha. I bet it would be fantastic with some Hoisin sauce layered on it. I appreciate you commenting and watching BigMark!!! Happy cooking brother!
Love your videos T-Roy, Always learn something every time i watch. In my experience when cooking pork I thought that an internal temp of 155-160 means it's done. If so, what's your reason to continue to the higher internal temp ?
If you are gonna slice the pork, like a ham, 160F internal is fine. If you are gonna pull the pork, like pulled pork sandwiches, you want the meat at 200F or more for easy pulling.
Thanks Tom, it did feel fantastic to fire up the WSM again. I really missed that smell of BBQ smoking and the taste of the final product. Happy smoking my friend!!! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!!
That's one mighty fine Pork Butt Troy! Awesome bark on it and I love that you used Sriracha! Yum! Wishing you and Karen a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend!!!
Hello Amy, I really enjoyed the extra kick of heat that the Sriracha gave the bark. If you ever make it down to Austin, I'll be happy to cook some Texas BBQ for you and your Mom!!! Wishing you and Mom a safe and wonderful Memorial Day weekend also!! God Bless you Amy!!
Hey T-Roy, got a quick question. I noticed on this video that you don't have the stainless door on the Weber. On a older video you said you had one but haven't installed it. Was there something wrong with it? I just got one and was curious on how it performs. Thanks
Hey there, nothing is wrong with the SS door, I just need to switch out the latch from the original door to the new SS door which I keep forgetting to do. If you check out some of my really old videos cooking on the WSM, you will see that I used a SS door back then. The latch wore out and I bought a new SS door thinking it came with the latch, but it doesn't. So, I had to buy another original WSM door just to get the latch off of it and I just haven't swapped it out yet. I like the way it makes the WSM look and it's much easier to load charcoal with the SS door on the WSM.
Loved the video Troy! This looks fantastic and as usual you make it seem so simple with showing us the step by step process. I hope you and Karen have a nice Memorial Day weekend. I look forward to more great videos from you soon.
Thanks Matt, I hope you and your family also have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend my friend. I wasn't sure how folks would like this longer detailed video, but apparently it is doing good. Maybe I should do longer videos in the future? LOL I appreciate you watching my friend!!! Cheers to ya, Troy
Go for it Scott. Pork butt is very forgiving because of all the fat content. I'm sure you'll love it cooked hot & fast! Yes, David is a great friend of mine and does have some wonderful sauces and rubs. I appreciate you watching!
Been watching your videos for 1 year now after I picked up a slightly used WSM and I can't thank you enough. People think I've been doing this for years. Beyond helpful for me as a beginner. Love my WSM, too easy 🙌
T Roy, one of your best. I appreciated the “responsibility “ in this one. You seemed like a different man ! God bless you in that effort .
I had to write to you as soon as I coould! My first Pork Butt smoked for 12 hours and turned out fantastic! I so love your videos and I have learned so much from you. I now understand the "stall" and other terms you use. This smoked Butt cooked exactly as shown by you and I also used a Weber Rocky Mountain Smoker. 250-300 degrees throughout the cook and the cooking, went textbook as shown by you. I honestly don't think the rub made so much difference in the taste of the finished product but the jury is still out on that aspect. I did fisrt coat in mustard as shown and then used a rub (generously applied) from a local grocery store made for Pork Butts (so the label says). I must say, I enjoy your videos so much! I was raised in Alabama and now, living in New Mexico, I got a taste of "Real" Southern USA BBQ, the sandwich I grew up knowing and now have been missing so much!! Thank you again!
Hey T-Roy! I'm from Southern British Columbia and just wanted to take a minute to thank you for such a great channel. I'm really enjoying all your tips, and they are paying off with delicious results. My next purchase is going to be the WSM as I want to be able to do briskets. I use a Weber Kettle for smoked ribs, chicken etc...and been experimenting with pecan wood for the first time. Like it a lot.
I'm glad to hear you are on the mend from your surgery. All the best to you and Karen!
Shane
Hey Shane, I truly appreciate the support. I am recovering fine and, as you can tell, I'm back to cooking BBQ again. I hope you do get a WSM. You will enjoy it immensely and it is truly a "set it and forget it" smoker. Just give it about 4-6 cooks to get some carbon build up on the inside and after that you will be able to easily maintain temps. I hope you have a wonderful Summer of BBQ cooking!!! Cheers Shane!!!
+T-ROY COOKS Will do, and thanks again.
I have tried cooking at 300 to 325F. It works. It took about 10 or 11 hours to get it to 196F. I called it and glazed it. Magnificent!
Hey Troy. I did your mod with the river country and the dual coal grates. Great ideas. I also secured my coal ring to them with hose clamps so I can pick it all up and shake the ashes over a trash can after it's been extinguished and cooled so it holds the leftover coals for the next use.
Thanks for sharing your ideas and making these great vids.
That is a great idea attaching the coal grates to the ring! I may have to give that a shot! Glad I could help inspire you to mod your WSM. I love cooking on mine and when I'm swimming I can easily see the temp with that huge River Country dial. LOL Happy smoking my friend!!! Cheers, Troy
A beginner, I really enjoy your videos. You have a great demeanor and, I enjoy watching you
Thank You for posting this video, I've been cooking on a Weber kettle for 30 years and decided to up game a little and get a WSM, did a few Butt cooks "low & slow" and they came out ok, did the "hot & fast" yesterday, 10 hour cook, 2 hour rest and best pulled pork yet.
Thanks again, Don
So glad to hear that Don!!! You could probably push it to a higher cooking temp if really pressed for time or wrap it after the internal temp is about 140F. Thanks for the comment and I appreciate your support buddy!!! Cheers, Troy
Great to see you manning you're WSM Roy, it's been a while. That Pork Butt looks fabulous... and love your "Layers Of Flavors" BBQ Philosophy.
Overnight Friday into Saturday morning I did 3 Pork Butts for BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches on my WSM that we had on Saturday for our early Memorial Day cookout. The weather is not suppose to be nice here on Memorial Day, and some family couldn't make it today, so we had our outing on Saturday. Did three Pork Butts because I was cooking for 18 people and we love leftovers. But man... there were fabulous. And I also did some BBQ Pork & Bean with bacon and pork roll that I put on the Weber after I pulled the Pork Butts off.
Best wishes to you and Karen my friend...
Hey George, sounds like good times over at your place this weekend! That is a lot of pulled pork! I just love the smell of BBQ smoking all day. I appreciate you watching George and hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day! Karen says hello!!!! Cheers buddy!
And that's how it's done! Great cook brother!
Hey Greg, thanks bro!!! It turned out great with the Sriracha sauce. Had a nice kick of heat on the back of your throat! Give me a holler sometime!!! Wishing you a wonderful Summer!
+T-ROY COOKS Hey Troy can you ever make a vid on how to put your thermometer in a pork butt? It gets tricky when you have one or two blade bones in the meat to get the most accurate temp, hope you understand what im trying to ask thanks bud.
Hi Robert, I do know what you are asking and I will try to remember to show that in a future video. I actually did show it in the original footage of this video, but edited out that portion because my dogs were barking. LOL
+T-ROY COOKS Lol ok bud I did a butt the other day with the maverick and the probe was near a bone and temp wouldnt move past 184, it was done the other areas but could have overcooked it if i didnt monitor it, thanks Robert from Jax Fl, il send you some everglades seasoning one day you will love it
Robert Harris Cool man, hook a brother up!
I got my first WSM 18 and did Texas style ribs last night and now I got 2 butts smoking now. Great videos and great looking grub!
Huge thanks from central Kentucky. Dig your videos... no fluff, just a guy with a passion. My WSM is getting a workout! If this is up your alley... would love to see you do a smoked meatloaf. Thank you T-roy.
At first I wasn't all excited about the video thinking just another Porky video and by the time it was over I thoroughly enjoyed it. I always love the way you talk and demonstrate the different layered flavors you add to the meat. Even better is you utilize whatever you have in the kitchen to make it all come together. So many ingredients work good together by the time to cook is finished. The candy glaze at the end made me want to fly over for a nice monstrous pulled pork sandwich.
Well done video T-Roy!!!!
Thanks Craig, I do try to utilize ingredients I have on hand. That Rib Candy is some great stuff! You should check it out sometime. I always keep several bottles in my pantry. I appreciate the kind words and thank you very much for watching. Hope you have a great week buddy!!! Cheers!
Hey Troy, glad you're back to cooking. Glad you liked that rub we sent you. Man that looked good. I may just cook me one this weekend myself... Thanks again for trying our product..
Brad
Hey Brad, so sorry I could not remember that you send it to me. I received the rub right before my surgery in February and I have short term memory loss sometimes. The rub was fantastic! Now, I can't wait to try the other one! I love the color of the rub and the bark was outstanding!!! Awesome product!
Thank you sir... Happy Cooking my friend.
That's what I'm talking about, classic BBQ. Also right on time, cooking a 7 and a half pound picnic roast and some ribs tomorrow on my WSM. First low and slow cook. Can't wait!!
Cheers, Troy!
Thanks Paul, it is a good time to cook some pig. I bet yours will be fine also!! Just let the WSM do all the work and you'll be fine. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for watching buddy!
Wow, T Roy is back and better then ever!! Excellent video, quality, sound, lighting, explaining, location. Just an all around top-notch video. Thanks T Roy!
Thanks very much Rick. I wasn't sure if this video would be too long, but I'm getting a lot of compliments for going in to detail, so I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching!!
Really enjoyed this video. I was able to go to Myron mixons cook school about 4 years ago and I cook the same way he taught. Hot and fast. I cook my butts at 300 for about 3 1/2 hours then wrap till we hit 205. Some great stuff. David is a really great guy. Thanks man, really loving these videos.
Yep, David told me how he helped Myron during one of those cooking classes. I'm old school and prefer to cook low & slow unless I am pressed for time. Glad you are enjoying the videos. As you can see, I do like to eat some good stuff! LOL
Glad to see you back with the grills and smoker.
It's great to be back cooking outside again. I sure did miss the smell of BBQ!!! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great week!
Gonna be following this "hot and fast" on my WSM tomorrow. It'll be my initial cook on it. Enjoy your videos and find them helpful and entertaining. God bless and happy new year.
Came out really nice. Good bark and layers of flavor.
Man, I know that was some fine eating Phillip. Congrats on the new WSM!!! Happy New Year to you as well brother!!!!!
Glad you're back T-roy. Your videos are easy to follow and produced really well. You're doing a good job, cousin.
Thanks, it's great to be back in action again. I really missed cooking BBQ and this butt turned out fantastic! I appreciate you watching!
I recently made pork butts. I put the butts directly over the heat to get a sear on them. Then moved em to the top rack with a pan of water under. Spritzed with red wine vinegar and water 50/40 every 30 minutes. On the smoker the temp was 275 for 2 hrs....hot as hell after 2 hrs when the butts went to the top rack with water...pulled from smoker after 3 hrs and change....put in a covered foil pan at 420 until internal temp on butt was 205. Came out almost perfect.
T-Roy ! This clip was so good, I had to watch it twice ! Now I do not have a WSM (I will look into one now !), I am new with all this - but my little Traeger is smoke'n along with ya'll. You have passed on some serious jewels of wisdom and I wanted to thank you very much for taking the time to share ! As I type this, I am 7 hours into my first wee 6 pounder - smoken away and Im twitching out for the tasty results. Plateaued at 165, and I knew what to do... Nuthin! Just let it cook ! Thumbed UP, and Subscribed ! I am looking forward to watching more !
8-)
B-Rad from Toronto
Hey B-Rad!!!! I appreciate you watching brother! You can get good flavor from a pellet cooker like the Traeger, but the WSM gives a little better flavor in my opinion. I bet your pork butt was fabulous regardless! Happy smoking brother!
Holy S***! T-Roy Cooks is back!!! This was a sad channel without you brother! Welcome Back!
Thanks Rene, I truly appreciate the kind words!!! Yep, I am back and it's going to be a great Summer of cooking! I appreciate your support!!
I watch all the BBQ videos I can on the internet and yours are very good. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. You should make a video just about all your devices (the yoder, WSM, and whatever else you have). Pros/Cons, how you choose which one to cook on, etc.
Thanks very much Jeremy, I appreciate the suggestion. I have talked about some of those things on my Thursday chat videos, but it may be a good idea to just concentrate on those specifics you mentioned. I appreciate the support brother!!!
7 years later, still watching
I picked up a WSM recently and I have to say your videos are amazing. You explain everything so well. I went straight in the deepend with a longer brisket cook for my first. I attribute your advice to its success! Thank you!... p.s. pork butt is next on the menue
I love your videos T roy... Your enthusiasm is brilliant, and you're a natural. Very giving of your time, my man.
Thanks Rob, that made my day buddy!!! I appreciate the support and I do enjoy cooking and sharing what I've learned with others out there. Have a great weekend my friend!!!
nice cook. good to see you again. it's summer now, so I may try that. it's hard to go hot and fast here in the winter
I hear ya Lyle, it's hard to get the WSM to maintain 300F in the Summer, much less Winter! I really enjoyed smelling the BBQ smoking away again. This was my 1st BBQ since this past December, so I've been itching to do a cook. There will be no stopping me now brother!!! LOL I appreciate you watching and wish you and the family a Very Happy Memorial Day!!!
Karen loves the bark.
Very easy to listen to...I’m new to smoking BBQ but I’m mesmerized by the process...great job of making it look easy!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully you’ll be smoking some fine bbq in a short time! Cheers!!!
Dude just found your channel and I love your videos, you do such a great job being down to earth and explaining things so simply, keep it up.
I've had my 22" WSM for a couple of years now and I love it!!! I've cooked just about everything on it except pork butt. After watching your video, I am definitely going to try it!! Thanks
Hey Eric, the WSM makes an awesome pork butt. I do prefer smoking it around 225F, but hot & fast will also work fine as you could tell in this video. Have fun buddy and keep that smoke rollin'!!! Thanks for watching!
atta boy, T-Roy! nice to have you back!! Just revisited your same WSM butt cook from last year. I'm giving her a go tomorrow on mine. This video came just in time. Do you chose a certain smoker for a certain job being that you have 3?
Hey there Hazmat, I do not choose cookers depending on what I'm cooking. Well, that's not entirely true. If I want authentic BBQ, I will always choose my Yoder Wichita offset pit. It produces the finest tasting meat that rivals local BBQ joints famous here in Austin , TX. But, having said that, I try to show love to all of my cookers. If I haven't used one for a while, like my WSM, I will do a video using it. I realize that the WSM is the cheapest cooker I have and most of my followers will have that compared to those having the Yoder or Kamado Joe, so I try to do cooks that show my followers how I cook stuff on the WSM. So, bottom line, I like to spread the love!!! LOL I am sure your cook will be excellent and I wish I was there to help you tend to the fire and smell those fine BBQ smells. I hope you have a great weekend and thanks so much for watching and for the question!!! Cheers, Troy
Have you ever tried some of the weber Rubs? they make a KC rib rub that is amazing.. Great video T+Roy
he's like the Bob Ross of BBQ!! love it..
That looked so good. Thanks for posting. If you don't mind me asking, What kind of tripod are you using that lets you make those adjustments so quickly? I have to fiddle with knobs when I move the camera...pain in the butt.
I need to check out that rub company since they are in my home town.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! I use Manfrotto tripods. The one I use is carbon fiber, so it's pretty light. And the Manfrotto head I use is filled with fluid to help minimize jerky motion. The rub was really tasty! I hear that it's a competition BBQ team that produces it and they've won quite a bit on the circuit.
Thanks for the gear tips. I appreciate it.
I'll check out that rub company. Seriously, Allen is not that big. They probably live within a mile or 2 of me. lol.
No vinegar based sauce!!! Some sweet and spicy molasses/ketchup/mustard/brown sugar spiced sauce would go great with that pork! Since you added the Sriracha sauce, you just need the sweet, thick succulent sorghum molasses/brown sugar/ketchup base (I use Chili Sauce instead)/mustard, roasted garlic, pinch or Cheyenne pepper, Memphis style sauce. I really like Kansas City style sauce though. I just grew up in Memphis, TN and the BBQ pork is extremely excellent there!!! The sauce there is thicker than vinegar based, sweeter, and a bit spicy! I am sure that you have been there before. BBQ pulled pork and ribs of any kind are my favorite food. You are such an inspiration to cooking! I love your videos, Sir. Thank you!! Please keep sharing them.
Man I had one of those a ton of years ago - My first Grill after I Married - I used for a slow smoked Ham 94 Days) - I had one piece and went back for more - Several of my Buddies were picking tiny pieces off what remained off the Bone Carcass - Great Cookers. I had pieces of Lemon Peel, Apple Chunks, Apple Cider, and heck, a lot of stuff in there - Juicy, Delicious and Yep, GONE in a Heartbeat, and it wasn't small, I think like 15 Lbs.
I love watching your videos! I enjoy your practical, down-to-earth methods. Very enjoyable!
Hi Jasmine, thank you so very much for the kind words and thank you for watching!
Yo T Roy, i have to say man, i didn't know anything about BBQ never BBQed in my LIFE, i watched your vids, and im pumping out ribs and Brisket like crazy. man thank you for all you do, i love your vids! my Sister lives in Austin to, i fell in love with Texas and Texas BBQ the first day i was there. stay cool man, love your vids!
Thanks very much Matt. I'm always happy to help when I can and I'm thrilled that you are now cooking some fine BBQ. I bet you drive your neighbors nuts like I do!!! LOL I appreciate you watching and hope you have a fabulous Summer of smoked meats!!! Cheers, Troy
Looks great! Just bought a WSM 18.5 ...Pork Butt Friday...ribs/sausage on Saturday...back to dieting on Monday :)...thanks for all your videos.
Hey Tony, if you see someone lurking around your home, it may be me. I love Pork butt, ribs, and sausage!!! Hell man, I love any meat that has been smoked! LOL Thanks for watching Tony and I appreciate your support!
I'm new to the game but love it so much. Especially tending the fire. Doing my first pork butt tomorrow. Have had great success with my briskets, mealoaf (which I hated until I smoked) and ribs! Anxious to try the butt! Thanks for all the help. Especially the video on fire management. Helped me so much!
Barb fart lolol
Troy great to see you again! I'm drooling at the pork!!! Couple things, I was just on Austin PBS. I put my segment on my channel...2ndly I went from 300 lbs down to 180 since my son was born! Keep the BBQ vids coming!! Lovem.
Holy moly Danny, that is a lot of weight loss dude!!! I am still losing weight and am about 80% full strength now, but am feeling much better. The pork was delicious and it sure felt good to be smoking some BBQ again. What were you on PBS for? Now I've got to go check out your channel. So, are you in Austin?
T Roy you are the master when it comes to barbecue. This pork butt looked like it was prepared to perfection. Nice job as always. My friend enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.
Hey Glen, always great hearing my you my friend!!! Yes, the butt turned out fabulous! The bark was awesome and the meat was plenty juicy even cooking at a higher temp. Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend also!!!
I think you know just a little bit about barbecuing anything.
That looks amazing...here in the UK , we love smoked pulled pork....keep up the excellent job.....
Troy is back! And he is kicking butt! Pork butt!
Hey Sal, hope you are having a great weekend my friend!!! Yep, I'm back and cooking some fine BBQ!!! Life is good brother!!! Rock On!!!!
You seemed to have recovered fro your illness! NICE!!! Happy Memorial day...... Typical bbq here this weekend. That pork butt looks great....... we'll give it a try.... Thanks for great videos!
Hey Ken, I am doing much better my friend! It sure felt great to be cooking BBQ again. Hope you have a fine weekend yourself. Save me some BBQ buddy!! Cheers!
Seasoning bag? LOL. Try this: Salt, pepper, hot paprika, fennel(lots of fennel) red pepper, garlic, coriander (lots of coriander seeds) and black mustard seeds. You can thank me with money (lots of it). :)
Love your videos!
Totally awesome cook, I love your videos. You have the perfect voice for voiceovers and radio
Appreciate your video ! I have just purchased a smoker grill similar to the Weber. Haven't been able to use it yet. I have never used one before, but, your video gave me a lot of good tips I had not thought of. Thanks again !
I'm glad to hear that I have helped to inspire you with your cooks. I know you are going to enjoy your new smoker/grill. Just have fun with it and enjoy the fine food you are going to be pulling off of it. I appreciate you watching John!!! Cheers brother!
this is the kinda guy I would love to have a beer with! Cheers from San Antonio!
Yep, that bark had me at the edge of this chair. A great Pork butt, cooked to perfection, T-Roy!
Thanks Dan, I actually threw the Sriracha on it in your honor. I wanted something with a little heat and pork butt always looks so nice on the cooker with a "red" type sauce on it. The Sriracha worked wonderful and gave the bark nice color and some heat. Hope you give it a try sometime. I really enjoyed the flavor! Have a great weekend brother!!! Thanks for watching!
That looks amazing T Roy. We are watching from Argentina. Thank you for the video.
Hello Argentina!!!! Thank you very much for the kind comment and I appreciate you watching!!! Happy cooking!!!
I’m used to adding wood chips every 45 minutes until 160 degrees and then wrapping, back on the smoker until about 200 degrees. I know you had 2 blocks of hickory. Did that provide a smoky taste?
Use the rub, skip the rib candy and anything else. Put the vinegar sauce in the spray bottle and use it frequently in place of all the other stuff. The results might surprise you. I've been making my ribs the same way for 30 years. It works.
Doing my first Pork butt on my WSM today. You have been my guide T Roy. Thanks
I love the color of the bark , and the entire Pork butt looks great My friend.
Hey Thomas, great to hear from you again buddy!!! I was very pleased with the color and flavor of the bark. That was some fine tasting butt!!! Have a wonderful Summer my friend!!!
T-ROY COOKS You are always welcome My friend.
I just cook four this past Thursday, and they were wonderful, but they definitely didn't hold the color like what you have here. Maybe too, I need to check too into some of the rub that you are using. For the time being I will probably have to keep using what I have, until someone complains .
Thanks again My Friend
Thumbs up on the hot and fast! I do that style more often than not these days. Love it. Man, I need to get me some of that rib candy. Looks good on everything you put it on!
That rib candy is good stuff!!! I order mine directly from Texas Pepper Jelly dot com. And I usually get 4-6 bottles at a time to help keep shipping more affordable.
T-ROY COOKS How do you decide what meats to Spritz? I don't Spritz anything and am wondering if I'm missing out on a better way.
Just purchased a WSM for some summer bbq's myself. Also got some of that Texas bbq rub too. That pull pork sure looks good! Love the videos keep em coming! Thank you for all the tips!
Congrats on the WSM Craig. You are going to have so much fun cooking on that WSM. And the Texas BBQ rubs are awesome!!! You should also check out Texas Pepper Jelly and get some of their Rib Candy. I put a link for it in the description box since I used Rib Candy in this video. Happy cooking my friend and thanks for the support!! Cheers, Troy
+T-ROY COOKS thank you for the recommendation on the rib candy! I'll be sure to check it out.
Awesome cook, Troy. That pork looked mighty fine! Have an awesome summer and I look forward to more videos this summer. Your backyard looks like a great place to hang out and smoke meat!!
Hey Lee, thanks very much brother!!! I spend a lot of time hanging out in my backyard during the Summer and love the smell of meat cooking and wood burning. Hope you have a wonderful Summer also!!! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!!
Nice seeing your grilling videos again!
Thanks very much! It sure does feel good to be cooking BBQ again. I appreciate you watching and I'll have a lot more BBQ videos coming up this Summer. Cheers!!!
Looks great! Getting my ribs prepped today
Hey Jamie, Ribs sound fantastic!!! I bet they turned out beautiful buddy! Thanks for watching and hope you have a great weekend!!!
+T-ROY COOKS no pics but ribs were spot on. Wife said they were best ever!
Happy Memorial Day to 'ya Troy. Hope you are having a great day,God bless those who have given their life for our country. I'm very grateful,being a veteran of the Army. Well enjoy the rest of your day
Great video. I have a new WSM and am looking to do some pulled pork after a few test cooks with chicken breasts. Doing my homework before venturing further.
Showing the WSM some love! Pork looks awesome Troy, good idea with he rib candy at the end.
Is Rib Candy like a simple syrup? What does it taste like? Thx from east coast Canada
Hey Tom, I've been neglecting my WSM, so I figured I would show it some love. Plus, the lid is much lighter for me to lift than the lid of the Wichita or KJ. LOL I love that Rib Candy! It's some really good stuff. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Tom!!!
It does have a consistency like a simple syrup, but it is flavored with different fruits and has Habenero peppers in it to give it some heat. It is well balanced though, so the heat level is about like that of a jalapeno.
Thanks! Keep up the good work brother!
Hey Troy! Great to see you getting your BBQ on again brother! It's that time of the year to fire up the grills, and I'm looking forward to many more videos from you Troy :) Really great to see you back in action!
Thanks Rus, I appreciate that!!! It sure felt good to be tending to a fire again and smelling the BBQ cooking. I sure did miss it. This is going to be a fantastic Summer!!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video brother! Hope you and the family have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!
Love the channel you've sold me on the WSM
Hey Troy! That looks amazing. I could smell the flavor from here in Canada. Glad to see you cooking again.
Thanks Kyle, it felt great to be cooking BBQ again. I like the way the butt turned out cooking it hot & fast. I will definitely be doing it this way again soon. I appreciate you watching!
Im floored it took that long, but man it looked like it was worth the wait !
Come on man, 8 1/2 pound butt in 10hrs? LOL It was superb!!!! I hear you've been busy lately, but when you have time, give me a holler. I miss ya bro!!!!
Tiger Sauce oh my i love this sauce!
Looks great! I bet adding siracha tastes fantastic!
T-Roy great as always brother. Question though, since the fat cap is up how much of the Sriracha sauce actually penetrates through it to the meat which is facing down? That fat cap was still pretty thick.
Great question Eric, the Sriracha does not penetrate the fat cap which is why I brushed it along the sides. Also, heating up the Sriracha tames down the heat level of it, so it did add flavor, but not a lot. It did make the butt look pretty though! It would have worked better if I had the fat cap down and then brushed on the Sriracha sauce. I appreciate you watching buddy! Have a great Summer!
Damn i just ate some Carolina pulled pork and now watched this. Glad i have some leftovers.
What's up Travis!!!! Dude, it was great chatting with you on the CMC live stream. Carolina knows how to do pulled pork. Most folks here in Texas don't even bother cooking pork the right way. I try to incorporate different cooking techniques from around the globe into my cooking, so hopefully my pulled pork will match, or be close to, what folks have in the Carolina's. Thanks for watching brother!!!
If 9 hours is half the time how much time does it take for a slow smoke
Hey T-roy! I've been a fan of your videos for a long time. I actually bought my WSM because of you and follow your methods all the time. That's a killer lookin butt, I'm excited summer is finally back. Got a question though man, how do you go about cleaning your water bowl? I started using foil in mine cause the mess was tough to deal with! Between the fat and the burned on stuff. Thanks man, keep up the awesome videos!
Hey there Kipp, I appreciate the loyalty and support buddy!! I don't worry much about the water pan or the inside walls of the WSM. I basically just hose out the water pan. I have never cleaned the inside walls of the WSM, but if I get too much carbon flaking off of the inside lid, I will lightly brush the flakes off of the inside lid with a soft brush. Only other thing I clean are the grates and I just brush them down with a grill brush. Hope that helps! Thanks again Kipp!!! Happy smoking brother!!
Thanks to Troy, now I'm cooking responsibly and delicious. Family are loving it. Love your videos, all of them.
Thanks very much Daniel. I'm glad I could help buddy!!! I appreciate the support and hope you have a wonderful Summer!
Some of your best T Roy. Waiting for Australian summer and I'll be knocking this out for sure!
Howdy mate, this pork butt was spot on brother!!! Your summer will be here soon!!! Thanks for watching!
fantastic yet again. Really helping with my cooking.
Thanks Alan, I'm glad I could help inspire your cooking brother!!! Keep that smoke rollin'! Thanks for watching!
Hi, Troy. That ham looks KILLER! You've scored another one. I am amazed at how it turned out. I have a question: how many recipes do you have in your library and you got some recipes in the works? Have an awesome day, good buddy.
Hey Byron, thanks very much! It did turn out really good. That rub, Srirachi, and Rib Candy really made a good bark with great flavor. I'm not sure how many recipes I have, but I do have a book case full of cooking books and most of them are really old. I do have some recipes in the works that I am trying to perfect before putting on video. I appreciate you watching Byron and hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend buddy!!!
Love the bark and nice smoke ring
I followed this demo on my BGE, it turned out AMAZING!
Awesome Jasmine!!! I'm glad I could help inspire your cook. I appreciate you watching!!! Keep that smoke rollin'!!!!
T-ROY, you're my savior buddy.
Fantastic Vid...Firing up a 7LB Butt as I type on my Oklahoma Jo Highlander here in my Backyard of Memphis!....as a TH-cam myself, I am curious as to what camera you are using.. Very crisp and smooth footage!
Love your channel been watching a lot of your WSM videos just started smoking and first attempt was a failure tasted ok but tenderness wasn’t there so started watching videos to see what I’ve done wrong since I’m a man I didn’t need instructions wrong but with a little help from you I think this weekend it’ll be a lot better I’ll be doing a pork butt
DID THIS HIGHER TEMP COOK ON AN 8 POUNDER YESTERDAY --9 HR'S --BEST PORK BUTT I HAVE DONE SO FAR -THANK YOU FOR THIS VID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, I'm glad I could help you out with your cook. Makes you want to try a brisket, huh? LOL I appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!
great video. should I use this same method for pork shulder (7lb)
Yes, you can. In fact, pork butt is actually cut from the shoulder and not the rear end. LOL Happy cooking and thanks for watching!
Excellent presentation as always. Interesting use of the Sriracha sauce, made my wheels start turning about maybe trying out Hoisin.
That sounds like a great idea! I try to use whatever I have on hand when possible which is why I used the Sriracha. I bet it would be fantastic with some Hoisin sauce layered on it. I appreciate you commenting and watching BigMark!!! Happy cooking brother!
Love your videos T-Roy, Always learn something every time i watch. In my experience when cooking pork I thought that an internal temp of 155-160 means it's done. If so, what's your reason to continue to the higher internal temp ?
If you are gonna slice the pork, like a ham, 160F internal is fine. If you are gonna pull the pork, like pulled pork sandwiches, you want the meat at 200F or more for easy pulling.
@@TROYCOOKS thanks.
Trying this one right now on my WSM for the first time. 8lb bone in....got a late start so hoping the Hot & Fast works out!
Glad to see you back out smoking that is just what I am going to make this weekend Happy Memorial day
Thanks Tom, it did feel fantastic to fire up the WSM again. I really missed that smell of BBQ smoking and the taste of the final product. Happy smoking my friend!!! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!!
That bark looks superlicious, hot & fast seems to work perfectly so i will give it a try on my next Pork Butt. Have a nice day.
Yes, I really liked how it turned out. Most of the cook was at 290F and the butt did just fine. I appreciate you watching!
That's one mighty fine Pork Butt Troy! Awesome bark on it and I love that you used Sriracha! Yum! Wishing you and Karen a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend!!!
Hello Amy, I really enjoyed the extra kick of heat that the Sriracha gave the bark. If you ever make it down to Austin, I'll be happy to cook some Texas BBQ for you and your Mom!!! Wishing you and Mom a safe and wonderful Memorial Day weekend also!! God Bless you Amy!!
Thanks for your efforts in producing videos.
Hey T-Roy, got a quick question. I noticed on this video that you don't have the stainless door on the Weber. On a older video you said you had one but haven't installed it. Was there something wrong with it? I just got one and was curious on how it performs. Thanks
Hey there, nothing is wrong with the SS door, I just need to switch out the latch from the original door to the new SS door which I keep forgetting to do. If you check out some of my really old videos cooking on the WSM, you will see that I used a SS door back then. The latch wore out and I bought a new SS door thinking it came with the latch, but it doesn't. So, I had to buy another original WSM door just to get the latch off of it and I just haven't swapped it out yet. I like the way it makes the WSM look and it's much easier to load charcoal with the SS door on the WSM.
will a sugar based rub burn doing this hot and fast method? fat down.
2020 still see your videos man! I am subscribing after watching this video!
Loved the video Troy! This looks fantastic and as usual you make it seem so simple with showing us the step by step process. I hope you and Karen have a nice Memorial Day weekend. I look forward to more great videos from you soon.
Thanks Matt, I hope you and your family also have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend my friend. I wasn't sure how folks would like this longer detailed video, but apparently it is doing good. Maybe I should do longer videos in the future? LOL I appreciate you watching my friend!!! Cheers to ya, Troy
Great video! I have never tried hot & fast. Given the time I have I need to try it. David's sauces and rubs are very good.
Go for it Scott. Pork butt is very forgiving because of all the fat content. I'm sure you'll love it cooked hot & fast! Yes, David is a great friend of mine and does have some wonderful sauces and rubs. I appreciate you watching!
you love meat buddy. You enthusiasm is just great.
Yes indeed, I do love it! I love the smell of the meat cooking or smoking too. I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Roy you are a BBQ master from Oz
the children like it to,
so they give mi all kind of grill stoff,
Thanks for the inspiration.
Denmark out 😆
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoy watching me having fun cooking some great tasting food. I appreciate the support!!! Happy cooking!!!
