That's to avoid ruining the furniture. I'm a man, but since I've become a homeowner I've had my friends use coasters whenever they put their drinks on the coffee table.
Please, please!!! Smoke several steaks using different woods. Cherry, pecan, apple, walnut, hardwood, peach... list is endless! I’m intrigued to know the taste variations in the wood, marrying with the beef flavor.
That would be an interesting experiment. Our wine infused oak pellets would work nicely with any of your favorite meats. It imparts a gentle smoke flavor, leaving rich color and juiciness on the meat. Our customer love using these pellets.
Cherry! Perfect for everything!love it on steak but When all the nephews and kids are coming I get a big case of the chicken drumsticks and smoke em.. they destroy them. Apple is good on pork tho as it matches the sweet flavor!
I did this same 45 min smoke with some thick Filets, turned out fantastic. Smoking and then reverse searing has opened my eyes and made me somewhat of a snob at traditional steak restaurants. Well done! I'll have to get me some thick NY strip steaks and give this a shot.
Thanks for the tips, did mine for about 60 mins offset at 250 F with cherry and mesquite wood untill the steaks were at 116 F, finished them off directly over the flame and pulled the steaks at 130 F then had them rest for a bit. Perfection.
Lmao bruh why would you say "offset"? Youre jusy using a fancy sounding word that doesnt even make sense in this context. Why not jusy say "set at"? Pick up a dictionary.
Thank you for doing this, I've tried this before but gives me a better idea of the difference of how long to smoke. I also didn't cook them at 450 until temp. Hit 130°. Just smoked and reverse sear for an hour.
guga! I hope you remember me, my name is Tito. Long time subscriber to both your channels. Just wanted to say, i really enjoy your videos. mainly cause you involve your friends and family, and I could tell you love and care about them. keep it up, very inspiring brother. :)
@@SilentEdgeTv I smoke my steaks until they reach 115-120 and let them rest in a warm oven at 120. I get the grill or a cast iron pan as hot as I can and just sear them for a minute or two on each side until they hit 130. I monitor the temp with a wireless thermometer. I just want enough grill marks or char on the outside without burning them. If they sear too fast, but haven't reached my desired temp, I just pull from over the flames and let them finish cooking with indirect heat, then rest in an oven at 120 before serving. My family loves when I do steak night!
Interesting, but I have to say it again. What you used is not cold smoke. Cold smoke is room temperature or below. When I cold smoke (sausage usually) I nefer go above 60F, usually more around 50F. Not even close to 150F. This way the meat only gets smoked, not cooked at all. At 150F for 45min you will get some surface cooking going on. TBH the closest you have used cold smoke on either of your channels is with the smoke gun. The difference in flavor that you achieve with true cold smoke vs. the warm smoke is pretty significant. It's especially large when you smoke fish - if you smoke salmon at 150F you'll end up with cooked salmon that's also smoked, whereas at 50F the salmon will be just smoked but not cooked at all. I have lots of experience with cold smoking, I make my own smoked salmon, sausages, fermented salami, cheese etc. I use a separate smoke generator that works a bit like the smoke gun but has much larger capacity, then I pass the smoke through a long aluminum tube (about 8ft) to allow it to cool completely, and then into the smoking chamber where the meat/fish/cheese is. Forced convection is done with a computer case fan, repurposed.
stamasd Your comment was very informative. Thank you. For steaks/beef, how long do you recommend cold smoking for and at what temperature? Is there ever a need to flip?
I too have a long history with smoked produces, and am DAMN SURPRISED no one mentions the various flavor changes which occur using various types of wood. For those reading this, here's something seldom shared to novices - the wood used for smoking should NEVER include the BARK - unless you want a bitter after-taste! If buying your wood, AVOID products using binder material, and avoid products not well received by those who use this method often. You'd be pissed if you actually knew how often you PAY for Alder, and get Oak! Learn the flavor imparted by smoking, and no chef can come near what YOU can for do for feasts! Cold, warm, and hot smoking opens the door to meals others can only dream about! LOL Pass me that smoked pepper jack cheese please...now I'm hungry!
I haven't cold smoked yet, but I do smoke with only wood, (wood cut off our property so I know exactly what I am using), I use the low and slow method and the results are absolutely amazing, so far I have done many different baked beans, meats, including large whole chickens, some 12 to 15 pound turkey breasts, and they all turn out so tender and juicy, can't wait to recover from my heart surgery, I am going to go for a whole turkey, smaller one first then if that woks out a 21 ponder, hehe, Guga, while any smoke flavor is better than nothing, you should try using only wood for smoking and you will see a major difference in flavor.
I just did a variation of this last night: Smoked at 200 for an hour, until internal temps hit 120. Then Removed from heat, cranked the grill to 450 and seared for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Wound up with perfect strips at 130, rested them, and they were absolutely fantastic.
Great job my friend! I've found that searing changes and lessens the smoky flavor. Would you please try this: break all the steak rules go low and slow the whole way. No sear! Smoke on a combo of hickory and alder. Basically baking it in the smoker. It might turn you to the dark side!
I noticed that you always use Hickory to smoke with. I think you could have a series testing different smoke woods. After all, there are quite a few to choose from: Hickory, Mesquite, Oak, Jack Daniel's, Apple, Cherry, Maple, Pecan, Alder, Almond, Apricot, Chestnut, Lemon, Mulberry, Nectarine, Orange, Peach, Pear, Plumb, Walnut and blends of these woods.
Not sure if it was mentioned in the vid, but the type of wood you use to smoke makes a huge impact on the end result. Hickory & apple give lighter/more subtle smokey taste than mesquite (which works great on beef in general, but can become overpowering when smoked too long).
Great test! Only thing is there is a huge difference in smoke from pellets than from wood chips. Wood chips give a real cowboy smoke flaver while pellet smoke is sublte. What was used here wood or pellets.
Dry brined, low and slow, 250 in the ceramic grill with a chunk of wood and a meat thermometer, remove steak and grill grate, then sear with the cold grate method. Excellent every time!
I like how you did not do the typical thing most people are doing-using far too much salt, rubs and spices as well as covering it with heavily seasoned butter. Thanks for info!
I just did my first sous vide steak, my first time cooking sous vide period. I went all out, a thick cut ribeye smoked 45 minutes, seasoned with just salt and pepper, cooked rare at 124° for an hour and finished with a torch. It was in the top 3 best steaks I've ever had in my life and certainly the best steak I've ever cooked. The other 2 were from a restaurant in D.C. and the one in California. Until now my steaks have been pretty inconsistent and below average. I seriously can't believe I actually cooked a steak this good. If the picanha is even better, it could drive me to madness. Thank you a thousand times thank you.
I smoked Costco Prime steaks for an hour on my pellet grill. I dry brined them for 24 hours with salt only and then seasoned them salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Smoked for an hour and then reverse seared at 500 degrees. These were better than steaks I had at Mortons Steak House. Thanks for the videos. I am learning a lot
Like the test! I agree that smoked for 45 to an hour is best. I turn off smoke at 1 hour at 175* then bump smoker to 225* until steaks reach 120*. Then I sear them on hot coals direct. They usually come out arout 128* to 133* when done. Wonderful stuff!
I've been a fan of smoked meats basically since I could eat :) So glad I came across this video. I was fooled thinking the 45 minute smoke steak would be the last one. I started doing my steaks this way about a year ago and it's my favorite method and yes with 45 minutes of smoke on very low heat. Nice to know I'm doing something right!
@@felixchien1664 I had to rewatch to see that I meant in the taste test. Usually Guga places the control steak first which would have been the un-smoked one. In this case the order was reversed. BTW I noticed that 40 to 45 minutes is the magic point for smoking a 1.5" steak. Longer than that and the smoke starts to overpower the taste of the steak.
Love the Camera Work, with the beautiful flames. Something very primal about it that makes my soul smile. I am now Starving! Are you working fulltime on your two channels yet or still have a regular job? When you smoked the steaks what wood did you use? Love the Weber, Love Sous Vide. Great Job! Love the Family too
I used to sous vide and sear..... until I got a Kamado style grill. Now I smoke/reverse sear my steaks and the result is AMAZING! Thanks for the video!
I started smoking thick cut steaks when I inherited my dad's old smoker. I haven't been cold smoking them, so that's definitely worth a try. I've just smoked them to between 125 and 130 degrees (about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the thickness of the steak) using a higher temperature chamber (220 degrees) and then searing them off. Mine come off at about 138 degrees, coast up to 145 for a brief moment and a still nice and pink and pink with a little red medium inside. Absolutely nothing wrong with a good rare or medium rare steak as shown in the video, but for the people I cook for they prefer Medium and I'm fine with that.
Pappa Murphy's take and bake pizzas in your smoker for an hour and then cook them are FANTASTIC. I have done an oven baked pizza and the same pizza in my smoker and people honestly think there is something wrong with the regular oven cooked pizza when they do a back to back blind test! It makes that much of a difference!
I've been curious about the Jaqquard tenderizer for a long time. It seems like you might get a lot more tenderness by cutting both against the grain and on a bias (angle) when using this...especially on a steak that is as thin as flatiron, flank, etc. Love to see you test this. Great work guys!
This video inspired me! I just smoked the best steak I've ever eaten! NY strip, salt, pepper, paprika, smoked it at 250° until an IT of about 140°, seared it, basted it with garlic butter. I've never had a better steak than this! Thanks for the tips!
Kirby’s Steakhouse in Fort Worth, TX. 10oz filet. Applewood smoked, and then seared to mid-rare. The best steak i have ever had. I normally like my own steaks more than restaurants because i can have them exactly how i want, but that steak was just incredible.
Guga - you and your boys (and the girlfriend) has a new fan. That was a great pleasure to watch the video. It is from the technical aspect perfect and your content is incredible (I have watched many of your videos today). Keed doing your good work- greetings from Germany!
Guga! A-ma-zing!!! That's why it's number "A". Sometimes even we try to hot smoke steaks - they are also absolutely fantastic. Right now I am preparing steak by one of your trick & tips to smoke steaks on charcoal and olive. Man! That's great! When I first tried this with sous-vide every one asked me of I made grill in the winter! Regards from Poland, bro!
Dude, I just smoked 2 pieces of Costcos NY steak in oak following your tips and the flavor, man, was AWESOME! Fellow Brazilian in Texas, the land of the smoked stuff. Keep it up dude, both channels rock 🤘
I prefer Hickory or Apple wood if you can get them. Hickory gives it an almost spicy bite where as the apple wood is nice mellow and has a kind of sweetness to it. Or hell, mix the two I've done it for ribs and I had my grandmother bar my uncle from ever grilling again (May she rest in peace)
SilvaDreams I actually ran out of charcoal and got some post oak pieces in my shed, worked, I'll give a try using other kinds of wood. Here in Texas they are very easy to find.
Dude I don't know who does ya'lls photography, but the closeups of the meat are SPOT ON! Clearly showing the texture and juiciness, the slow pass of the camera as the meat settles after cooking... ya'll nailed it man.
We used to have a restaurant that did smoked ribeye steaks. Sadly they closed. I have done smoked steaks twice using someone else's smoker. It worked out very well getting a good combination of smoke and beef flavor at 30 minutes.
We put a southwest type rub on some tri-tip steaks and three then in the traeger for about 30-35 minutes then finished it with the grill. Came out perfect
maybe you can do the different cooking fats test i have bugged you about on this channel instead of on SVE? Think it would fit better here then on SVE :) My picks are: Margerine, Butter, Duck fat, Lard, Bacon fat, beef fat and different cooking oils like canola or olive oil. :)
Right, SVE is Sous Vide Only and it would not be right to do this type of cooking and grilling there. But I am curious on your request. Can you tell me more? Are you talking about searing with these fats?
yes, basicaly. what gives the best taste profile between them. If you do not have a grill that is. Do the chef trick by basting them at the end with garlic and rosemary or tyme. Or you can do your own twist on it what you think will be best :)
This was in my recommended. I just smoked and reverse seared a ribeye. I like to smoke mine with oak to about 115f internal, then sear about 45 seconds per side. Get a nice med-rare.
Guga! I'm a new dedicated fan of your channel, and you sound like Nacho Libre at times which adds to the pizazz of your channel, keep up the great work!!!!!
Guga, love your videos. Always very well done and I learn something every single time. Question - what wood did you use to smoke these steaks? Thanks for doing great work and providing a true learning experience. Kudos!
Not sure how the strip turns out but I have smoked a few different kinds of steak and the best that my friends and myself have smoked is ribeye. Something about the marbling in the steak it really takes on the smoke taste. I smoke for an hour then reverse sear.
LOL, girls always eat all the steak. When we do family dinners, I have to ask if my nieces and their friends are there, because if they are I'll need at least double the amount of steaks I'd normally bring. These tiny girls will somehow eat entire 1lb steaks, each.
The best smoked steak i ever made was Hot coals with a small hand full of wood chips thrown in right before i put steaks on. Cover with lid open vent, sear the steaks. Nice light smoke flavor.
I have been smoking my steaks for a while, and the time depends a lot on the type and amount of smoke. If I use cherry I tend to smoke them longer, but if I use oak it needs to be a shorter smoke time. I don't know what this reverse sear is though. I generally go from smoke to super hot sear.
Thank you so much.. WOW PHILIPPINES... Love to go there one day! I have many friend from Philippines and they always take me to AMAZING restaurants. Thanks for the support.
Yeah! From PI here as well, i've been ur subscriber as well including ur sousvide ch.. whatever that spelling is.. but all ur vids are totally fanstastic and i'm learning alot from it, from d diff cuts of meat, the seasons you used & how you prepared to cook it.. great Job man! 4 thumbs up, 2 from both my hands & another 2 from my toes...
Awesome video as always. I was confused for a long time because the order you put them in the grill was different .... and it would be awesome if you could add the description under each steak ... like Smoked 45 min .... smoked 30 etc etc.... it would add some quality to your video in my opinion. I hope this is a constructive criticism. Love your videos!
yep I appreciate that, the reason I had to do it that way is because I want them all to come out at the same time. But a little description on when we are trying would have been perfect. So, I agree.
Hello Guga, I’m a big fan of your channel. This is going to sound a little weird, but I want to know who is playing during cooking, the music is really good too. Thanks and keep on cooking !!!
Number A for the win! The first smoked steak I had was way over smoked. It turned me off of it for a few years. The New York Strips came out pretty! Great video.

Smoking comparison video idea, either here or SVE. Use different types of wood on similar meat... which smoke works best for poultry, beef, pork? I got a smoke gun for Christmas and have been experimenting but would like to see your opinions.

Hey Gus.. whasuuuppp!! You need to do a wood taste experiment... tell us how different types of smoke taste bro! cheersssssssssssssssssssssssss
I love it, stay tune friend. I will make it happen.
Awesome dude! Sure 100% tuned... smoke gun on SVE maybe? yeah!
That would be difficult, because unless u had different smokers they would all have to be smoked at different times
Smoking gun bro... easy
Danilo Piccine forgive me
Thanks for the tips, did mine for about 60 mins offset at 250 F with cherry and mesquite wood untill the steaks were at 116 F, finished them off directly over the flame and pulled the steaks at 130 F then had them rest for a bit. Perfection.
Lmao bruh why would you say "offset"?
Youre jusy using a fancy sounding word that doesnt even make sense in this context. Why not jusy say "set at"? Pick up a dictionary.
Maybe he’s referring to an offset smoker why get mad about that quit being weird “bruh” lmao
Should do another experiment smoked 45mins, smoked 1hour, smoked 90mins, smoked 2hours... which is best result..?
You are cooking it with those times, even at150 degrees F, or 66 C.
Ineluctable Smith
You can cold smoke it much lower than that
I agree
Thank you for doing this, I've tried this before but gives me a better idea of the difference of how long to smoke. I also didn't cook them at 450 until temp. Hit 130°. Just smoked and reverse sear for an hour.

And his growth is heart warming to watch
Look how far Guga has come from production quality and content creation wow. Angel looks different too.
Great video but I have to ask, what type of smoke? Pecan, Walnut, fruit wood, hickory, mesquite, lump charcoal? So many flavors, so many strengths.
I almost always smoke my steaks for at least 30 minutes, rest and reverse sear to 130. They come out perfect everytime! Great video!
How long do you sear them ?

Mine come off at about 138 degrees, coast up to 145 for a brief moment and a still nice and pink and pink with a little red medium inside. Absolutely nothing wrong with a good rare or medium rare steak as shown in the video, but for the people I cook for they prefer Medium and I'm fine with that.
@darkrainne 679 you're definitely doing it wrong. ;P
I always smoke mine for 30-40 mins then reverse sear with basted butter garlic and thyme. Talk about flavor.
Pappa Murphy's take and bake pizzas in your smoker for an hour and then cook them are FANTASTIC. I have done an oven baked pizza and the same pizza in my smoker and people honestly think there is something wrong with the regular oven cooked pizza when they do a back to back blind test! It makes that much of a difference!
I've been curious about the Jaqquard tenderizer for a long time. It seems like you might get a lot more tenderness by cutting both against the grain and on a bias (angle) when using this...especially on a steak that is as thin as flatiron, flank, etc. Love to see you test this. Great work guys!
Guga has some of the most charisma I’ve ever seen on camera.
This video inspired me! I just smoked the best steak I've ever eaten! NY strip, salt, pepper, paprika, smoked it at 250° until an IT of about 140°, seared it, basted it with garlic butter. I've never had a better steak than this! Thanks for the tips!
Kirby’s Steakhouse in Fort Worth, TX. 10oz filet. Applewood smoked, and then seared to mid-rare. The best steak i have ever had. I normally like my own steaks more than restaurants because i can have them exactly how i want, but that steak was just incredible.
Guga - you and your boys (and the girlfriend) has a new fan. That was a great pleasure to watch the video. It is from the technical aspect perfect and your content is incredible (I have watched many of your videos today).
Keed doing your good work- greetings from Germany!
Guga! A-ma-zing!!! That's why it's number "A". Sometimes even we try to hot smoke steaks - they are also absolutely fantastic. Right now I am preparing steak by one of your trick & tips to smoke steaks on charcoal and olive. Man! That's great! When I first tried this with sous-vide every one asked me of I made grill in the winter! Regards from Poland, bro!
Angel is so polite when she's there haha
3:17 LOL, his "Let's Do It" sounds so lethargic back in this older video.
Dude, I just smoked 2 pieces of Costcos NY steak in oak following your tips and the flavor, man, was AWESOME! Fellow Brazilian in Texas, the land of the smoked stuff. Keep it up dude, both channels rock 🤘
I prefer Hickory or Apple wood if you can get them. Hickory gives it an almost spicy bite where as the apple wood is nice mellow and has a kind of sweetness to it.
Or hell, mix the two I've done it for ribs and I had my grandmother bar my uncle from ever grilling again (May she rest in peace)
SilvaDreams I actually ran out of charcoal and got some post oak pieces in my shed, worked, I'll give a try using other kinds of wood. Here in Texas they are very easy to find.
Oak, post oak if you can get it, is by far the best smoking wood for beef steaks
Nothing to do with steaks, but I love your theme song especially the guitar solo near the middle.
Damn... An OG video. Wow Angel was small back then.
Dude I don't know who does ya'lls photography, but the closeups of the meat are SPOT ON! Clearly showing the texture and juiciness, the slow pass of the camera as the meat settles after cooking... ya'll nailed it man.
We used to have a restaurant that did smoked ribeye steaks. Sadly they closed. I have done smoked steaks twice using someone else's smoker. It worked out very well getting a good combination of smoke and beef flavor at 30 minutes.
We put a southwest type rub on some tri-tip steaks and three then in the traeger for about 30-35 minutes then finished it with the grill. Came out perfect
Good experiment! 45 minutes has been my protocol for a traeger steak after my own experiments. Great job.
guga：eventho i dont always show i do season both sides
also guga：showing him seasoning both side of the steak every time😂
Bwahaha number A! Someone called him out! Love this channel!
cara, ninguém faz os experiemtnso loucos que nem voce e eu me amarro!!!!!!! viciado no teu canal cara
maybe you can do the different cooking fats test i have bugged you about on this channel instead of on SVE? Think it would fit better here then on SVE :) My picks are: Margerine, Butter, Duck fat, Lard, Bacon fat, beef fat and different cooking oils like canola or olive oil. :)
Right, SVE is Sous Vide Only and it would not be right to do this type of cooking and grilling there. But I am curious on your request. Can you tell me more? Are you talking about searing with these fats?
yes, basicaly. what gives the best taste profile between them. If you do not have a grill that is. Do the chef trick by basting them at the end with garlic and rosemary or tyme. Or you can do your own twist on it what you think will be best :)
LOVE IT, stay tuned friend... stay tune!
This was in my recommended. I just smoked and reverse seared a ribeye. I like to smoke mine with oak to about 115f internal, then sear about 45 seconds per side. Get a nice med-rare.
maybe pull it out of the smoke at 110 and sear it longer to get the best sear
This channel has given me so many ideas on how to cook my stakes, all I can say is thank you guga you waky Brazilian stake master.
Guga! I'm a new dedicated fan of your channel, and you sound like Nacho Libre at times which adds to the pizazz of your channel, keep up the great work!!!!!
I'm a new subscriber but I've been binge watching both shows. I love it!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Guga, love your videos. Always very well done and I learn something every single time. Question - what wood did you use to smoke these steaks? Thanks for doing great work and providing a true learning experience. Kudos!
which wood did you use for smoke in this vid
he used hickory i think
Not sure how the strip turns out but I have smoked a few different kinds of steak and the best that my friends and myself have smoked is ribeye. Something about the marbling in the steak it really takes on the smoke taste. I smoke for an hour then reverse sear.
Anyone else hear the edited in high five sound at 7:57, crisp
There's no high five at 7:57
LOL, girls always eat all the steak. When we do family dinners, I have to ask if my nieces and their friends are there, because if they are I'll need at least double the amount of steaks I'd normally bring. These tiny girls will somehow eat entire 1lb steaks, each.
😂😂😂 that is so TRUE
I know dude! I took this girl out to eat one time and she ordered a triple hamburger and ate it faster than I thought humanly possible
good
sounds like quite the heifer!
and she thought last one was smoked... shitty palette :S
just saw this video after the most recent, your nephew has changed a lot to better way!
The best smoked steak i ever made was Hot coals with a small hand full of wood chips thrown in right before i put steaks on. Cover with lid open vent, sear the steaks. Nice light smoke flavor.
Angel, you’re a lucky boy, I must say!
Fun vid, Guga! Love the way you include your family!
Keep cooking and doing this experiments and I keep learning thanks and god bless you and your family
Your awesome and your experiments are really helping me to learn the best ways to cook my meats and/or smoke them. Thank You.
Every food idea I ever think of you already have a video. Deeeeeeeelicous
I have been smoking my steaks for a while, and the time depends a lot on the type and amount of smoke. If I use cherry I tend to smoke them longer, but if I use oak it needs to be a shorter smoke time. I don't know what this reverse sear is though. I generally go from smoke to super hot sear.
So surprised smoking for 45 minutes was the best. Must have been the longer exposure to the smoker temperature. So good. Thanks
Yep, I thought it was going to be way over cooked because of the 45min, it was slightly more cooked than the others but it was much over all.
This music is great.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Hey, Guga! Great work - from a fan in The Philippines!
Thank you so much.. WOW PHILIPPINES... Love to go there one day! I have many friend from Philippines and they always take me to AMAZING restaurants. Thanks for the support.
Put PH on your travel list and make it Number A! Haha. Hope to see you when you come here!
Yeah! From PI here as well, i've been ur subscriber as well including ur sousvide ch.. whatever that spelling is.. but all ur vids are totally fanstastic and i'm learning alot from it, from d diff cuts of meat, the seasons you used & how you prepared to cook it.. great Job man! 4 thumbs up, 2 from both my hands & another 2 from my toes...
Me too
The music going crazy threw me off gaurd compared to the rock in his newer videos lol
Come on Guga, you need to show me how to make a beautiful peppercorn sauce! Let's dew it
Awesome video as always. I was confused for a long time because the order you put them in the grill was different .... and it would be awesome if you could add the description under each steak ... like Smoked 45 min .... smoked 30 etc etc.... it would add some quality to your video in my opinion. I hope this is a constructive criticism. Love your videos!
yep I appreciate that, the reason I had to do it that way is because I want them all to come out at the same time. But a little description on when we are trying would have been perfect. So, I agree.
Kayla's becoming a female Ninja. "Can't tell you yet."
Wow... you've come a long way in 5 years!
Another Great and Awesome experiment! Tku so much for trying all the different methods. 10++
I usually smoke mine for about an hour with “a-maze-ing” smoker tube before adding any heat.
Always reverse sear! Makes a 100% better steak that way
reverse sear sucks , if I wanted roast I would stick it in the oven.
Hello Guga, I’m a big fan of your channel. This is going to sound a little weird, but I want to know who is playing during cooking, the music is really good too. Thanks and keep on cooking !!!
Beautiful music with beautiful steaks guga!
Number A for the win! The first smoked steak I had was way over smoked. It turned me off of it for a few years. The New York Strips came out pretty! Great video.
It's amazing how men acts different around their girlfriends lol
We become little bitches. I know. Its true.
@@alexvids9232 Talk for yourself lad.

@@saschasingsong5868 How dare you talk about anyone elses name kid. Sriracha, hot sause looking name headass. Don't ever try to roast anyone with a name like that Hahahahhahaha
@@masudkhoa3861 I didn´t even roast you. But what you are writing makes it even more obvious. Praise lord Jesus the forgiver. He will show you the way if you open your eyes. :)
Definitely subscribed
I dig your vibes and attitude in your video
Perfect video. Just bought some steaks and pulled out the smoker.
Anybody else jealous of Angel with his grade A Uncle grade A Girlfriend and grade A Meat Supply.
Number A* girlfriend
Smoking comparison video idea, either here or SVE. Use different types of wood on similar meat... which smoke works best for poultry, beef, pork?
I got a smoke gun for Christmas and have been experimenting but would like to see your opinions.
