Hi! I'm Harry Soo, a Grand Champion pitmaster from in Diamond Bar, near Los Angeles. Welcome to my vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.
On weekdays, I'm an IT nerd living a Dilbertesque existence in a fabric covered cubicle in downtown LA. I'm the head tour guide for a team of IT project managers who build datacenters, networks, servers, and infrastructure that helps bring tap water to 300 cities and 20 million residents in SoCal.
On weekends, I come alive as a pitmaster, competitor, and BBQ instructor. You've seen me on BBQ Pitmasters, Food Network, Chopped Grill Masters, Smoked, Cutthroat Kitchen, and local TV in California. My shtick is I've used a humble 18-inch Weber Smokey Mountain smoker to win 100+ first places and 1st place USA in the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) awards including best chicken, brisket, and sirloin; and I've won over 30 Grand Championships. I've personally taught 250+ classes and trained 4,000+ pitmasters in small hands-on dozen student classes in the US, Sydney, Perth, London, Kuala Lumpur, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii.
I get many questions weekly about how to grill and barbecue. Since I started cooking professionally in 2008, I've answered thousands via email, so I decided to post my answers via video to reach a wider audience. I'll do my best to post a video on my channel periodically. I upload vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.
#texas #HarrySoo #SlapYoDaddyBBQ #BBQBrisket
This channel is severely underrated. I hope it blows up and gets more visibility.
Thanks for your support. I am happy to be part of your barbecue journey!
This man is a Legend, his is the best BBQ I have ever had in my entire life, I’m no professional eater just a person that enjoys BBQ.
There’s something soothing about watching someone trim a brisket with a good knife.
Wanna watch some of my ASMR videos?

👍 love them lol this was a good idea , There’s actually people that scratch there feet in front of the camera and people love it ,I prefer food though.
Thanks for the post, Harry. We have one Sam's Club fairly close to me, but I have never been there. I've always been very happy with the meat I've bought at Costco. Cheers!
Cheers Greg! Happy Sunday. Yes Sam's has good meats so I use their meats for my classes in addition to RDepot and Costco. I especially like the certified Angus Choice at Sam's as it's good eating.
Thanks to all of your good advice I smoked my 1st brisket and it was a complete success. Everyone raved about how good my brisket tasted.
I smoked it then wrapped and finished it in the oven. Don't trust the oven controls, I used my wireless probes in the oven also.I had a lot of confidence in what I was doing due the number of your videos I watched.
Great job!
I just got my new smoker a couple weeks ago and I’m so happy to be spreading BBQ love. It’s so unique and everyone has their own flow and steez. Every time I see hate on a BBQ video I always say “don’t hate, load your plate and appreciate.”
Love what you cook on and cook on what you love!
I buy from Costco so it's nice to see their brisket isn't bad. I retired 1 1/2 years ago and live in Connecticut. I'm looking to relocate in 12 months to save on taxes and spend more time outdoors. Got room for another Buddy ….. LOL. Great Job!
It's worth noting different regions in the country have different beef suppliers...Both Sam's Club and Costco do not use just one supplier or single distribution center for the whole country. The meat you get can really just depend on what state you are in and the particular day you happen to be shopping. Either one could have a better offering on any given day.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Mr. Soo, I know you have been around a while I have watched you become so polished, your Weber salmon video was excellent. Thank you for sharing your skill and lessons learned. I have benefited from them.
Yoire very welcome!
Hi Coach, must commend you on your very tactful and polite approach with the meat cutter from Sam's Club. Also, thanks for the black belt tip regarding binders and oil content for smoked vs grilled applications.
Happy to help
I had NO idea about the oil. Great and valuable tip for me
I have always done Costco. Recently did a couple Sam’s. Costco wins hands-down
I find it depends on the meat selection of the day
I learned something. Patch your meat! @ 7:04 Thank you for all of your information and time Harry. You are the man.
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks again Harry, i'm watching all your video's on Brisket. Like i said before the advice you have is proven by the awards you've earned. And thank you for what you do for us Veterans. A true patriot you are. Cheers friend!
Sharing love for your troop, veterans, and their families. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our great country
Harry, I have another idea for you. I would like a video on how to pick the woods and show what the different types look like (how to pick them). What type of woods to use for what type of cooks. I am very curious how the wood affects the cook/flavor etc. Also how to pick cords of wood (what to look for) etc
Here are some wood videos you can watch when you have time

Patty BBQ Woods #2 - th-cam.com/video/YvPAhONkLNk/w-d-xo.html
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ Thanks a ton! i was quite confused on my first trip to the wood supplier. It smokes a lot so I think the wood is too green. Hopefully with time it will dry out. I will watch the videos and I know if you made them, then I will learn a TON. Thanks again!
Thank you for your videos and showdowns
Great video. I had a lot of fun watching this. Spread the word, BBQ love!
The butcher at Sam's was totally offended. It was actually quite funny.
Haha. I'm Hispanic just like that butcher, and we usually cook our brisket in a crock pot and shred it for burritos and tacos. So you usually don't want alot of fat since the crock pot retains alot of moisture anyway. So he was saying the leaner one was beautiful lol.
I work at Safeway the customers always ask for less fat because they want more meat than fat.
Listen closer, he actually agreed with Harry’s choice of the fattier brisket and was speaking to most people who think the fattier cut is inferior.
Ok.. my comment was meant to be lighthearted and somewhat sarcastic. Im not saying he went in the back and started crying. It's ok everyone...I know he will be fine and survive another day.
@@BBQSteve1 hes devastated lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who prefers to finish off the brisket in the oven. After poking the fire all night long, it's nice to be able to set it and forget it in the oven, that way I can get some sleep. lol
Guns up from a Red Raider! Class of 86
Basically both the same after a few beers. Cheers Harry from the UK
Tally Ho! Cheers!
Great video sir! They both look great! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Charles for stopping by
Very nice video, Harry! One of the things I love about Costco is their selection of meat, it's pretty impressive.
The next challenge would be to compare two prime briskets - WSM vs. traditional offset. The airflow through the WSM is going to be a lot less (even with the lid propped open a bit) than the offset, cooking in traditional Texas fashion. It would be an interesting comparison! So if you're ever up for a trip to SW Missouri, we could arrange that test and a bonus BBQ crawl in Kansas City! :-D
Good day Harry.
Thank you for putting forward so much information for BBQ rookies such as myself. I really appreciate it.
To exemplify how much of a rookie I am, I was hoping you could clarify what "Post Oak" is.
Please continue to create and upload more helpful videos. I for one really enjoy them...most likely I am in the majority.
Cheers, and hoping you and yours are healthy during this viral inconvenience.
"KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!!!"
Best regards,
Kevin Tischer
Good Day Kevin.

Great educational presentation as always!! This is why I watch and share your Videos to my Facebook Group and Page.
Thanks for your support. Keep spreading BBQ love!
Thanks for your videos! A lot of hard work and money goes into your comparisons.
Excellent video, thanks Harry!
Thanks for stopping by
In Texas we have a grocery store called H-E-B. The best place to get your BBQ meat.
Yes, I've shopped there. I'm a Red Raider. GUNS UP!
My HEB now stock Wagyu brisket on a regular basis as well as Wagyu chuck roast. The Wagyu chuck roast almost make me want to give up smoking brisket it's so good.
Thank you for explaining Mr. Beans absence. I was waiting for him to confirm your findings.
He's back at 100% tasting abilities!
Love how you keep the trimming simple. Jeremy Yoder trims the whole damn brisket til there’s no more brisket left anymore 😂
LOL! I got a chance to swap recipes with Jeremy in our recent Collab
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ I saw that. That competition style trimming is something else tho 😬😂
You are the best Harry Soo. If I don't cook FPL or SRF I use Sams. The closet Cosco is 50 miles so it's Sams. I think Sams haS the better Briskets than Walmart because Sams usually has 20 to choose from where our local WM at best may have 4.
If you pick carefully, you can find good Choice briskets that rival Prime grade ones.
Buying BBQ Meats - th-cam.com/video/Lsj0l2uR_Iw/w-d-xo.html
I smoked a sams club choice brisket last week and it came out great and I’ll be doing another one soon.
This is a great video. I normally get my briskets from Costco but my last 2 were from Walmart (I tried to save a couple of bucks). I will try the post oak 'stick burner' method the next time with my WSM. Thanks Harry!
Cook what you like taste-wise and $-wise!
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ I have an additional question. What do you use in your water pan when smoking briskets? Water, sand, nothing? Thanks man!
@@williammyers5218 empty water pan. foiled for easier cleanup
I can only imagine the look of betrayal on Mr Beans' face when he gets home and has a whiff of the joint. cheers Harry.
Thanks, Harry. Having a family gathering this weekend and planned on a brisket. This vid was a good refresher course on the planned cook. Many thanks for what you do.
Awesome experiment, very through on your review and raw honesty. Great Video!
Great video as always and I always go back to which one you would go with if you were in a competition!
I'm heading to Costco this weekend for Father's Day. Thanks Harry for the video
Happy Father's Day! I have a surf n turf video posting on Wed
Costco by a nose! Excellent as always Harry.
You're the first viewer Miso Honey who left me a comment on this video. Thanks for being first on a Sunday morning and being up early! I've been having trouble uploading to TH-cam and have been struggling since last night to post my video. Glad it finally posted. This was a fun cook and anytime I can use wood in my WSM22, I know the brisket is gonna be good! Happy Presidents Day Weekend!
Great video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it James!
Thanks for another great video. Cheers, Harry!
Can you get a more honest evaluation? Every video from Harry is filled with gems for your barbeque Jewelry box. Thanks Harry. The Briskets I can afford.
Thanks you gave a new video series idea. "Meats I can afford to cook"
Thanks for the video...
Cool video Harry! For the brisket!!! I want to make a brisket but I need a regular sized smoker or weber grill. The brisket looks so bomb! That's a lot of brisket sharing! I want to make some brisket so that I can share and spread some bbq love! 😆😍❤🤘👊😁🙂
You can do brisket in a kettle or a crockpot. See my 20+ brisket videos for ideas
Love it. Thanks for the comparison
Choice vs prime, as you said, the choice can rival the prime. Guess the cost difference should also be considered.
For $0.30 per lb, I'd go with the higher grade as I'm investing 12 hours of effort in the cook
Nice job once again Harry, hello from Texas.
Guns Up! Go Red Raiders!
I'll be in Houston Livestock Rodeo next week
I got hungry watching this video so, I ordered a pizza! Thanks Harry Soo!
Pepperoni?
The Sam's by my house almost always has prime grade. I would say that Costco generally has better meat but I think there's more Sam's Clubs than Costcos available for us more rural folk.
It really depends on the cow and who cut it ultimately.
Yes depends on the animal and how it was fabricated from a primal cut
@Curtis Tisberger GMO's like those briskets are delicious. I sprinkle extra GMO's on my GMO's. Take it back to your organic wheat grass, granola-hugging cult because no one here cares, soy boi.
Great content in your videos. Good quality information on how to bbq
Thanks feel free to browse my 30+ black belt brisket videos when you have time
Very nice video , I like the footage of selection, They get primes at my sams club would be interesting to see prime vs prime

@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ thanks!! I enjoy the comparisons, you have quite the catalog coming together my friend
@@desmundlighten3603 barely scratching the surface of BBQ topics I want to cover. 240+ videos and counting. maybe another 500? Once I start my curry channel, I have 100+ curries to share. Oh, and Mr. Beans is developing his own following so maybe a Mr. Beans channel?
Certainly a cost difference on that choice meat, so based on that I would say even for a back yard cook. Love you as always Harry. Thanks a bunch.
Love you too Daniel
The closest Costco to me is 2 hours away, but we do have a Sam's about 40 minutes away, so that's where I'm planning to get my first brisket. Good to see that I'll get an OK product there.
I’m going to have to give Costco a try. Both looked delicious.
Very good video!! I haven’t tried Costco’s brisket yet, but may need to give it a try. I have tried the Certified Angus and the prime briskets from Sam’s and were very pleased with both. Thanks again for sharing this video!!
Thanks for stopping by Donny. The Costco brisket was a few dollars more expensive per pound and not significantly better
You absolutely blew my mind with your brisket choice from Sams. I would have went with the other one that the butcher was recommending but I see why the one you choose was a better choice! Thanks for teaching me something new!
Be sure to see my How To Select Meat video for more info
The other brisket was more uniform, but the one Harry chose had more intermuscular marbling
As always, an awesome video and a fantastic thought-provoking comparison..I'd be interested in a more detailed setup of the WSM to get an offset result - maybe an idea for another video for later. Thanks for sharing Harry...Keep 'em coming.
Here you go
Post Oak Brisket WSM-22 - th-cam.com/video/elcqORHL5rU/w-d-xo.html
Hey Harry, you always coach to wrapping once the bark is set as you’ve mentioned the meat won’t take on any more. That being said, can you do a video to demonstrate, in a side-by-side comparison, why that is the best point to wrap? Appreciate you spreading the knowledge! Cheers.
Wrap when Maillard Reaction is complete. Else you will over smoke and dry out your meat.
Harry , can you please do a vlog on ways to reheat left over brisket? What's your favourites? Cheers.
Another great informative video thanks for sharing
Even though I’m the go to guy with my friends and relatives for brisket I appreciate you showing how to properly trim the fat. I’m now a subscriber of yours and look forward to learning much more off your videos

No taste test from your little friend? Great video Harry, greetings and bbq love from Belgium.
I must say Mr Soo, I wasn’t a fan of your videos a few years ago. You talked very fast and sometimes all over the place. Although, over time I have started watching your videos again and must say that now you are one of my favorite TH-cam channels to watch. The details that you cover are exceptional and the information that you share is invaluable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I might go on over and order a few of your rubs to try out. 👍🏻
Thanks for your patience. I've only done this for a couple of years so hopefully it will get better.
Great advice. I get chided by folks to say I talk to slow and I talk to fast. Now I'll send them your suggestions! :-)
Hey Harry Soo I just order some of your seasoning. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks for your business Mike. Let me know if you have questions on how to use it after watching my videos
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ Awsome! THANKS
That’s a LOT of work!
Thanks for going through all the trouble.
Happy to help other curious minds! :-)
That's funny I was going to ask you what you do with all of that brisket now, now I know!
Harry, your channel is so helpful! Any tricks for smoking on a standard Weber kettle?
Great video Harry. Both looked amazing! I've used Sam's briskets before, Costco is about 25mi away so I'm rarely there. I usually get IBP Angus Choice from Kroger's. I'm looking forward to having some SRF Wagyu Black very soon though.
I like CAB as they are good eating over Prime
Great video Harry! I like the Costco briskets we can find here in Dallas.
Go Texas. Pecan Lodge is my fav
Neither brisket came from a cow. They were both feedlot steers. LOL. Great video sir.
Moo Moo 😁
Great review as always Harry! Being from the Seattle area kind of partial to Costco. Otherwise i tend to goto my local butcher for really great cuts!!
No Beans , what kind of world are we living in Harry. I enjoyed the video as always and thank you.
So nice of you Art!
I got a choice from Costco (only made 1 so far, no Costco near me) recently and they have prime now and it was better than 75% of the prime I ever got at sams
Good for you! Supply chain seems to be getting better nowadays
Pro tip: get a vacuum sealer to store your portioned out leftovers. Keeps meet longer and take up much less space in the fridge....side note , So Beans is having sleepovers? lol, that dog has more fun than me and definitely eats better 🐕
Aloha Harry!
Mr. Beans lives a luxury dog's life!
Aloha Omar!
Another great comparison video! Unfortunately Costco in our region only carries Brisket flats...

Great video Harry. The Costco by me sells prime briskets so that’s where I go. Cheers brother!
Cheers Eric
When it comes to tasting he said it was a tough job lol
It's a labor of love Cindy! Someone has to take one for the team! :-)
I've had nothing but great results with Costco prime. Last 5 years my WSM has been in the shed, seems crazy now the money spent on an offset could have bought a lot more brisket... if I had more talent. Thanks for the great video.
Steve, it's the pitmaster and not the pit. Now go out and throw some meat on your pit!
I am an idiot for watching this at 2:45 in the morning. Now I'm going to go to bed hungry.
Ramen time!
Great comparison. You definitely have a more sensitive, technical pallet for the nuances in the meat. I appreciate your explanation of the sample size not being representative of the larger population and that makes total sense. Looks like Harry is the winner and gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor. :)
Happy to help . . . burp!
I'm a fan of Costco Prime briskets. Why go with choice when the Prime is like .20 cents more per pound? Right now though I'd eat either.
Both are food eating when cooked properly by a competent pitmaster! 😳🐂👌🐄🔥🤪👍
costco business centers also have better prices than regular costcos, can use the same membership even. here in FL brisket or Halal Brisket is around $3/lb raw
I totally forgot about Costco Business....we have one not too far from Chicago. I will have to check it out. I've been there just once.
The prime brisket was not much more than choice?? I was just there yesterday and looked at the steaks. The prime was over $20 more than choice for the same cut and nearly the same weight. I meant to take a photo because I couldn't believe it.
I have the same attitude. I had some great luck with the prime Sam's briskets this past summer. For a $0.30 difference (at the time) - easy upgrade.
@@HealthyLiving.7 In Los Angeles the Costco prime is $5.99 while Sams Angus Choice is $3.50
Walmart Select Brisket here in the Texas Hill Country was $2.28 a lb. yesterday. That's the most expensive brisket I've ever bought in the last 50 years. Up until the Pandemic started they were under $2 a lb. No I'm not looking to win a contest , I'm looking to eat good brisket and feed my family. When I first got married Briskets were 17 cents a lb. Lightly trim, Salt and Pepper rub, 12 hours or so in Box smoker. 250F . Cook till Tender about 195-200f. Wrap in Paper only if I'm in a hurry and running a bit late. If I'm going to spend 10 bucks a lb for meat We're going out to eat at J&J's or Smokey Moe's. The whole trick to good brisket is the Cook. If you move to Austin and open a BBQ joint in a trailer you'd have to fight Texans off with a stick even if you used Selects and served Lone Star beer. ;-)
Cook what you love and love what you cook!
Without Mr. Beans..... I am not so sure it’s a valid judgment! 😉😀. One request- I noticed that the Costco was IBP and am guessing the Sam’s was Angus Choice from Excel (what I typically see at our Sam’s). Will you include the Meat Source (IBP, USDA Prime, Black Canyon Farms, GF Swift, Xcell, National Beef, Tyson Angus Beef, etc)? It would be interesting to see if one source typically produces/sells the better meat. THANKS FOR THE MUCH AWAITED TEST!!!! and going Post Oak Texas Style on WSM! I’ve done combo Post Oak and charcoal on 18.5” WSM- next will be all Post Oak log splits as Verified By Harry Soo that it can be done!😀👍.
Conrad M where can you get that info? I have. Costco prime in my freezer
I will provide the packer info of available as it is not always shown on the packaging. Use the WSM 22 if you run only wood as it breathes better than the 18 when on 100% wood. Good luck! Thanks for stopping by
Devon Pucel I am nerdy,... I have an excel spreadsheet that I use each time I look at briskets at Sam’s, Costco, and Walmart. I look very closely at the cryovac packaging. Sometimes (mostly Costco) they have no supplier info- just USDA PRIME. noticed same sticker today on Sam’s Prime Brisket. I keep track of the prices, and just started rating them after I smoke one. Trying to find the better source. I will share it if someone is interested. Spreading BBQ LOVE as Harry does! He’s a Good Influence!!! 👍
Harry Soo Thanks for the tip! 😁👍. Guess I’ll have to stick with the one split since I have a 18.5”. Does fine this way. 😁👍
Harry Soo.... Ace!
Don’t have a Costco in my state so the winner is my local beef farmer!
All food!
Another great video Harry.
Thanks for stopping by
I buy brisket from Sam's..I don't have a Costco nearby. But I get prime from Sam's most of the time..I just make sure it has a lot of bend and normally the guys in the back are very good about letting me know the kill date on the box so I know how long to let it wet age in my fridge..I like it around 30days. Too bad it wasn't prime against prime..The subtle flavor difference could have been just the difference between prime and choice..I'm more interested in where you had your vents set at on the WSM 22 for the wood cook to keep around 275°..I would like to try that sometime..great video Harry!
All top and bottom vents open on the WSM22 will do the job well.
I find the grade is one indicator but cooking and eating is the best way to compare.
I have a video on how best to pick meat

I love getting my wood at The Woodshed. Looks like both of us get our wood there.
Yes and so does many of my 3,500 students the ones in LA! Super nicest people Patty and her crew
I love Bean he is doing a doggy dance.
A Mr. Beans only highlight video is coming soon
Sam’s Club has Prime sometimes.
Yes I do find them and not too often for stores in Los Angeles. Their certified Angus Choice is very good
Yep . That's right.
I can regularly find prime cuts of NY strip / ribeye at my Sam's that are the same price or $1/lb cheaper than similar choice cuts at my local grocer chain stores.
Ironically, the closest 3 costco's near me don't carry any prime cuts of... anything.
Agreed. My Sam's carrys alot of prime cuts. Whole ribeye roast, beef tenderloin and briskets
I've had to call in advance and request briskets at my Sam's..... while Costco always has them.... disappointing that Sam's doesn't always have them in stock.
Informational as always Harry. Could you please include stats on starting weight and trimmed weight, especially when doing comparisons? Also, please include the price per pound of each cut?
Mr. Beans had a short cameo @14:55 while you were wrapping the briskets, Harry.
He's a cutie. I have a Mr. Beans highlight reel coming soon by popular request
Soo Sifu: Wishing you, and the ohana, a great holiday weekend! Thank you for answering the question of which club-store to acquire meat. Both looked excellently prepared by you - too bad someone did not invent a way to transmit smell over the internet (LOL)! Hopefully, you saved a cut for Mr. Beans when he got home. I can imagine him enjoying a cut of your excellent work! Best wishes to you and the ohana, Sifu! 🧧🤙🌺👍
mahalo Bill!
I have a Mr. Beans highlight video coming soon
I like camera quality in this video and the audio was clear.
Thanks it's a Samsung S10 w Shure MV88
Harry, you made me go get my Costco membership on Sunday. Got a brisket, and a pork belly, curing bacon as we speak, haha. Thanks for your experiments. 👍
Spend some mullah!
Great video
Thanks for stopping by
Harry the difference between the two were close from what you showed choice and the prime but for backyard bbqin what would you choose thumbs up 👍
With the price of beef today, I'd settle for the less expensive meat per pound and am neutral between Choice and Prime
Another great video and brisket cook. Only question I have is why no msg in the rub seems like the perfect rub for it to be added to.
Uncle Roger would be proud of me. I will do it next time!
