Rus, sorry I am late to the party, but this was a great video! The rack of ribs and the pork belly burnt ends both looked fantastic! I appreciate you giving my rub a shot, and (judging by your reaction) I'm so glad you enjoyed it! One awesome pit, putting out some amazing BBQ!! Cheers brother!
Heck ya Rus! Looks like that pit will crush everything you put in it!! I just wish it fit in your suitcase so you could bring it up to the car show!! 😂😂
It's rare to see you speechless Rus. - That in itself speaks to the quality of cook coming off of that smoker. - Thanks. Happy St. Patrick's Day - Cheers!
Man, that pit is a thing of beauty. It's amazing how deep those racks go. Food turned out fantastic, but the footage in this one looks really good, Rus.
Really like your cap Rus ! Cape Girardeau, MO is where my older brother and his wife live, about 60 miles south of Ste. Genevieve where we all grew up ! Great cook Brother !
I have to agree, that pork belly is the best bite in BBQ. Easily the best thing I’ve ever cooked. So so good and quite possibly the easiest thing to smoke. With all the fat, it’s dang near impossible to over cook.
Awesome video Rus! The Ole Hickory pits just flat get it done. The cold snap we had here in Kentucky awhile back when it was 5 below, I fired up the cto let it settle in at 250 rolled some ribs and briskets for some neighbors in my area for them when their electric went out and she purred like a dream.
Thanks Kevin! Pork belly burnt ends is a great way to use pork belly, of coarse homemade bacon is great too. Hope you do give these a try. Thanks for watching!
Hey Rus I'm glad the new pit is working out as planned or even better! That was some great looking BBQ Bud! The older we get the better things get around us. Good to see you and Derek enjoying some excellent grub! Cheers Brother and y'all have a great weekend!
Oh man! Those look great. On a side note, I wonder how messy your patio is with all the spritzing and dripping whenever you slide out a rack? Do you have to hose it down well?
I love some good pork belly. My local supermarket sells it skin on. Just sone salt, dry it in the fridge for a couple of days and roast it in the kitchen oven. Because it lays flat it is so easy to evenly cook great crackling.
Awesome cook, bro. I haven't done burnt ends in a while. The sauce by Bartolini's has a great flavor. Chris is a cool dude and hilarious. They sent me some of their Chicago deep dish pizzas. They are the best I've had. Love that pit, too.
Thanks Scott! I never met Chris, but I have hung out with Dominic Bartolini at Memphis in May. He has two sauces and both are excellent but my favorite is the Raspberry Habanero. Haven't had their pizza yet.
I've lived every Ole Hickory I've ever used or owned. Adored my CTO. Small, but mighty. The OHPits excelled over Southern Pride. The SP doesn't burn clean, and I can taste gas in what it produces every time. I don't get that with OHP.
Rus those ribs and burnt ends look spot on…..that pit looks amazing!!! I get my pork belly at Costco and man it is good high quality but not sure if they carry it everywhere?
Thanks so much for this video! This smoker is really interesting as well. I’m torn. I understand the buy once cry once idea. I guess this is an endgame smoker for you? I guess the only thing a pellet grill gives you over this is maybe easier lighting and the ability to sleep while you are cooking? Correct me if I’m wrong. One more question if you don’t mind…If you need the pit to be able to grill and smoke what pit would you go with? I like the LSG pellet but worry about the small grilling area….I also like their offset vertical stick burner.
I can sleep while running this pit as well. I can get 6 hours out of one wood split. I personally have never used my LSG pellet grill as a grill. I use my Pitt's & Spitts flat top adjustable grill when I need to grill. It does way better than any pellet grill when it comes to direct grilling with not only a large grilling area, but a large range of temps due to the fire grate being adjustable with a 18" range from top to bottom.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ that all makes sense! I really appreciate your perspective. I don’t think my wife will buy off on me having that many grills. I did see that LSG makes a grill similar to that P&S you are speaking of and it can smoke as well. Wonder if that would be a good option to have.
Hey rus, just now watching the pork belly and rib video like watching your cooking shows if you are ever coming thru minde or shereport louisiana Give me a shout
@@SmokyRibsBBQ haha I could only guess. You are the second person on the internet that has gotten rid of their Lone Star. I'm glad I waited and didn't get one.
@@gosman949I’m thinking about selling my LSG offset too. I just can’t achieve that offset smoke profile I’m use to. Most likely the unusual air flow in the chamber is the culprit? as it smells great cooking, I’ve tried different wood etc. just not happy. Prob gonna buy the UQ or the CTO
If I had to chose between my offset or my Ole Hickory then it would be the Ole Hickory. Not a doubt in my mind, but luckily I get to keep both. The only advantage the offset has is it only requires wood which is a good thing in case of a SHTF situation
@@SmokyRibsBBQ yeah i have an LSG but been considering unloading it due to time constraints. this seems to add more of a pellet option with the wood profile
In all honesty I didn't even notice the final temp. I pull them off when they begin to probe like butter using a thermometer probe or other pointed tool. Burnt ends need to be super tender, or at least that's how I like them.
Only thing bad you can say about their pits is if you have to ask the price you can’t afford one. I looked hard at them but decided on a Stumps at almost half the price
They do cost a lot, but stainless steel and their quality is not cheap. They sell them worldwide and after this cook, I know why. I rather spend $6k on this smoker any day over a $4k pellet grill.
Rus you never lied about the pork burned ends. I'm gonna make a statement the reason you prefer the pork over the beef brisket is because everyone trim so much fat off it. Fat makes the burn ends. What in the beginning of BBQ people didn't trim the Brisket like we do today. If you did want to eat Fat you pealed it over before you at and put it to bean or gave it to the dogs as a treat
I agree James! So many people cooking in their backyards and doing comp style briskets where they trim too aggressively and getting rid of the very thing that adds flavor, and tenderness which is the fat.
dont laugh, but im not sure if i told you this before, or if you have seen any of my grilling videos, but i have a gas grill and, not too long ago, i discovered the “smoker box” where you put small chips of apple wood, cherry wood, mesquite, etc, right above the fire, but below the grates, and it makes the gas grill and food smell/taste way better. :-)

Your welcome and thanks for watching
You are the master of ribs Rus. That Ash Kickin bbq rub is so good. Great video and I'm putting that pit on my wish list.
Haha, thanks Eric! Yeah that is a very tasty rub and worked great on these burnt ends. That is one smoker you definitely want on your wishlist!
Man, that looks so good, Rus! I have some pork belly, and I'm probably going to have to make me some burnt ends with it! 😋😋😋
Thanks Kevin! Pork belly burnt ends is a great way to use pork belly, of coarse homemade bacon is great too. Hope you do give these a try. Thanks for watching!

WOW! I really like that cooker! just awesome Rus!I need to try those pork bellies just like that
Thanks Luis! I'm loving it brother!
Oh man! Those look great. On a side note, I wonder how messy your patio is with all the spritzing and dripping whenever you slide out a rack? Do you have to hose it down well?
Thanks Larry! I appreciate you checking it out! Oh it ain't that bad, what we miss cleaning the dogs will take care of haha. Cheers!
beautiful!
Costco over here mobile usually has pork belly sometimes on a good sale too
I'll have to get Derek to see since he lives over that way. We don't have a Costco here on the Mississippi coast. We only have Sam's in Gulfport
You can catch them on sale every now and again for 1.99per lb
This turned out amazing Rus ❤
Thank you Sheena! I was very happy with the results.

I love burnt ends!
Me too!
Dang that cook looked killer! I love the brown bag shaky shake! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Ric! That brown bag will get it done fast.
Awesome first cook Rus, Going to be years of good BBQ coming from that Ole Hickory! 😎👍
Thanks Jack, I'm sure the pit will live longer than me, but I'm gonna use it every chance I can haha

Man that things a dayum BEAST!
You should taste the smoke this bad boy puts on the meat! Brother it’s incredible! Thanks for watching Mike!
@Smoky Ribs BBQ I bet it's ridiculous Rus. I'm gonna try to swing by next time I'm home
Good deal Mike! It will be great to see you!
Awesome brotha Rus! Man you’ve got me wanting a CTO so bad! I’ve wanted one for years, but I’m willing to sell my kids for one now.
Thanks Zach! You would not regret it guaranteed, well selling the kids, you may regret haha, but you will never regret getting the CTO
Rus those ribs and burnt ends look spot on…..that pit looks amazing!!! I get my pork belly at Costco and man it is good high quality but not sure if they carry it everywhere?
Thanks Robert! Our closest Costco is in another state. I hope the coast gets one eventually

Thanks for checking it out. I don't know if I'll ever get back up that way but you never know.
How about a cook off comparison between the Ole Hickory and the Lone Star Pellet grill? Or have you gotten rid of the Lone Star yet?
I’m passing the LSG pellet to my youngest son. I already know which one would win
@@SmokyRibsBBQ haha I could only guess. You are the second person on the internet that has gotten rid of their Lone Star. I'm glad I waited and didn't get one.
As far as pellet grills it’s the best in my opinion but it just can’t compete with a Ole Hickory

*Rus, we call your facial expression, a foodgasm!*
😆
Dam Sam Ain't she Perdy!! LOL, Dang good smoker! Congrats!

So how does flavor stack up against offset stick burner?
If I had to chose between my offset or my Ole Hickory then it would be the Ole Hickory. Not a doubt in my mind, but luckily I get to keep both. The only advantage the offset has is it only requires wood which is a good thing in case of a SHTF situation

Hey Rus, how do you like this compared to your LSG mini IVS? Thanks for the great video!
I'm loving it! Sold the Mini around 4 years ago
At what temp did you pull the pork belly
In all honesty I didn't even notice the final temp. I pull them off when they begin to probe like butter using a thermometer probe or other pointed tool. Burnt ends need to be super tender, or at least that's how I like them.
What about the pan you had the burnt ends on ? Can that be purchased ?
I purchased them at Academy Sports
Those Burnt Ends well WOW meat candy heaven I'm gonna be dreaming about them tonight Rus, TOTALLY fantastic😋!!!!!
Thanks for checking it out Paddy Joe
Where did you get that pan you used for the burnt ends?
Academy Sports
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Awesome. Thank you! You are making me want to take the plunge on the Ultra Que! I just sent an email this morning! lol
Does this one produces better smoke quality than LSG?
Absolutely
Rus,the real question is what did this set you back?
Thanks for watching. Let’s just say they aren’t cheap
Only thing bad you can say about their pits is if you have to ask the price you can’t afford one. I looked hard at them but decided on a Stumps at almost half the price
They do cost a lot, but stainless steel and their quality is not cheap. They sell them worldwide and after this cook, I know why. I rather spend $6k on this smoker any day over a $4k pellet grill.

Yeah, must gas grills come with smoke boxes nowadays, plus you can buy them separately for added smoke flavor.
