I work 50 hours aweek. I do 3 videos aweekend. I cook film and edit all in the same day. Bbq my passion. Over 45 years. All my food feeds my family and grandchildren for 4 days.
My videos have 3 cameras so it’s a lot to edit and not worth the time to me anymore. That being said, I have a wife who doesn’t really eat BBQ LOL. I don’t have that added benefit. Mine goes to neighbors or employees. I rarely keep it at home. 🍻
Thanks for all you do. You have thousands of us that really appreciate you and we ask that you make yourself and your relationship with your wife a top priority. If that means only one video a month that’s great. Personally I got a chronic illness 4 years ago and came to realize that nothing is more important than my personal faith, my personal wellness (physically & mentally), my marriage and other cherished loved ones. I have learned a ton from you, I have gone from no grills 2 years ago to now I have one pellet smoker, one charcoal grill, one cheap wood fired pizza oven and one inexpensive offset. This is partially because of you and other creators that inspire me and how much all of this helps me mentally and honestly spiritually. When I’m out making food, frequently for others, I talk with God, decompress and get more centered. All that to once again say thank you for everything. My Hod bless you, your marriage and the works of your hands.
Love your content. The company I work for is based out of Dallas Texas as a remote employee I don't get down to Dallas often. March of this year was the first time I got to go and experience Texas BBQ and I was hooked. I did a little research and found out that the Yoder was the best so that is what I got, your channel has taught me is so much. Thank you
Love your videos. We just did our first cook on a Yoder 640 and it went great. The thing that I really like is, you change things up when you’re cooking. Like if you need to speed the cook up, due to weather or evening plans. You show how that can be done. I’m brand new to using a smoker, and your videos have helped me, really more than anyone else. Thanks for your passion and sharing.
Awesome congrats! I appreciate the kind words, thanks! If you sign up for my newsletter you will get my new 11 secrets to more smoke guide free: bbq.rumandcook.com/11-secrets 🍻
Thank you for sharing insights into your channel. This is the channel that got me into Yoder and I’ve consistently followed you, tried some of your suggestions, adopted some of your practices, and tried to stay away from the mistakes you make (which you humbly present and admit) and I very much appreciate it. I like your idea of scaling down to four videos per month and balancing your life. Smart man. Keep it up Jake.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it! If you are looking for more tips sign up for my new newsletter: pelletgrillsecrets.com I also have a new Mastery Bundle that should be helpful. 🍻
Just wanted to thank you for your videos and all the hard work you've done. I don't comment often but have watched a ton of your videos and have learned a ton from them. I've been grilling for years but only started smoking in the last 6-7 years, started with Weber Smoky Mountain, have a Weber Summit Kamado and last year bought the Yoder 640s, and a few months ago the Yoder Pizza oven. I love the fact that your videos are often the first time you've done something. I've learned a ton from them and have helped make the purchase of my Yoder so successful. I had no idea how much time you put into this but it makes sense and totally appreciate that you neee to focus more on life. Thanks so much for all you've done and am happy you are going to keep doing the Yoder videos. Just wanted to say thanks and let you know how much my family and I have appreciated all you've done because we've had some great cooks thanks to you and your videos.
Hi, I bought a Treager from Costco about 1 yr ago. Your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank You for putting in lots of time to help us get better. Thanks again.
I bought a KK a few years ago and it was definitely a learning curve from what I was used to. Your experience and videos has helped me and I look forward to more of it. Thank you for specializing! Be the expert in a niche.
I am new to your channel because I just bought a kamado Joe III classic. I have two pellet recteq which I love but I’m selling both to get another recteq 1200 and getting rid of them. I’m going to have the kamado Joe and the recteq 1200. I am new to your channel but it has been super informative especially on my kamado. I’m loving the content bro!
Jake. I appreciate your honesty. You need to spend as much time with your family. You never now what might happen. Just lost my father recently. I am really glad you are bringing back the KK. Looking forward to seeing more!!!
Thanks I appreciate it. Sorry to hear about your father. As you get older time definitely becomes more important. KJ vs KK is next week and then some new content will be coming. First cook was a 13pound pork butt. 🍻
Jake, absolutely love your videos and appreciate all the effort you put into it! One thing that is constantly pounded into my head is work life balance! Besides working full time, as you mentioned, plus the countless hours for making videos, we would all support your channel if you had to cut down on videos to keep yourself sane! All work and no play makes jack a dull boy!
You've definitely made an impact in the Yoder community because I have personally referenced you multiple times as have others when it comes to cooks, cleaning tips, etc. As I've said before your content is excellent and I've learned a lot. I have yet to try your homemade sausage as it seems like a lot of work but you've assured me it's not as much as it seems and the end product is worth the effort. Thanks again for what you've done. It's definitely appreciated.
Thanks, I appreciate you spreading the word and frequent comments! Give sausage a try. Seriously once you do it you’ll wish you had and done it sooner. 🍻
I just realized you were talking about the class I’m working on sorry. I have a brand new product that I launched yesterday: bbq.rumandcook.com/11-secrets
Good for you. You have to do what is right for you and your family. These changes are not only reasonable but a necessity for balance in your life. Look forward to continuation of my smoking education on Rum & Cook. 4 times a week is just perfect for me and I suspect 90% of your subscriber base.
Glad the KK is back! I know I’ll watch more now. I have a 32” KK and I bought it right around when you dropped it before. I was disappointed because there isn’t much good KK content. I think you are making a good move. It’s a unique cooker and will definitely help differentiate your channel.
All I can say is, it’s about time! Good for you. I did ribs on the Yoder yesterday and made 8 hour baked beans, green chili Mac and cheese, corn on the cob, and potato salad for a get together. A lot of work, but like you I loved it! I can’t imagine filming, editing, etc. during a cook! Love your stuff and luckily your wife does too. BTW, my wife doesn’t really care for BBQ either lol!
Always appreciate your honesty and I’ve learned alot from you, thank you and I’ll watch whatever you put out! Be true to yourself buddy and I know you’ll still pursue your goals!
Thanks Jake! I work a full time job and gig once or twice every weekend and have two young kids that are getting into school sport. It's tough! lol All the best mate, appreciate your vids and looking forward to the KK content :)
Sir I am very glad to hear that you will continue with the KK because a month or 2 ago I believe it was, you said that your KK was for sale. I am 80 years old and for my birthday I bought my self a KK and I look forward when it gets here in Spain., I know it will last the rest of my life. I am a mispalced Texan and I love to BBQ and watching your channel inspires me and I enjoy it So I am glad you are continuing with the KK and I look forward to your next presentations Many Thanks Jon Stadman
Hey Jon, congrats on the KK. Yeah I put it up for sale because I didn’t have room. I always expected to have another at some point. Luckily I didn’t work too hard at trying to sell it and glad I kept it in my garage. 🍻
I totally understand I don’t comment as often as I should I haven’t missed a video since I subscribed I just smoked 48lbs of butt turned out great I have been smoking for40 years but I still learn from you Thank you
I was drawn to this channel while researching my KJ. Very helpful and entertaining. However. For me, I get to a point where I'm following a channel as a fan, hoping for successful results for the person. I guess I'l be learning about KK's now.
Appreciate the update and all that you’ve done on TH-cam. For my viewing style, one video a week is just right. I’ll make sure to set my subscription to “all videos“. Thank you for what you do and I hope your new strategy works out as you hope.
Love the Patina on the workhorse. I thought I was seeing things when I tuned in. Im sure glad to see your back with the KK. I like the workhorse and KK, Im not really a pellet fan.look forward to see what you do. Smoke on Jake
I was wondering where your KK went and why a KJ replaced it. Your explanation makes sense. KK’s just don’t have numbers out there to draw volume like the KJ will. Glad to see the KK back! My 32 is on its way across the pond so future content will be appreciated. Your content keeps getting better. Be yourself and do what you like…a good product will always sell itself ;)
Love what you do. It's taught me a lot about barbecue and different ways to cook on various grills and pits. Great stuff. I think 1 video a week is totally acceptable from a viewers perspective. You don't have a huge channel so it's not like you can quit your day job quite yet and do youtube full time. It's only fair to balance life, work and hobby and make it all work for you. Maybe at 150K subscribers and more big sponsors you can consider doing this full time. But until then, I think 4 videos a month is still enough to keep people interested without killing yourself for an extra few views a month. Rock on man and I look forward to what ever you put out.
I commented yesterday but it didn't go thru. Funny you mentioned life advice...On my social media BBQ page I say "follow me if you need life advice, love moist meat and wanna Make America Moist Again." With that said, I understand the work it takes to make content, with a regular full time job. With that said, thank you for the content you make. You inspire us small guys.
I completely get where you're coming from with the value of time. Good call. The Best call is going back to KK. I was shocked when you said you were selling that off. I Love my KK. In fact, I have since bought my mother one and another Big Bad 32 for our place in Grand Cayman. I wouldn't live without a KK now. Third, would Love to see more from your pizza oven as well. Good luck to you and your channel. I'll continue watching all of your content. Thanks for giving your precious time for our amusement. I truly enjoy your content. We have so many grills and such that I feel I can totally relate to you.
Wow, congrats on all the KKs. I’m happy mine is back on the patio and we can get reacquainted once again. I missed have all the extra space of the 32 😁. I appreciate the kind works and support. More pizza oven content coming. 🍻
You know… it makes me sad how TH-cam tends to burn people out. If it’s not the dumb comments people leave, it’s the dumb algorithm that TH-cam uses. I am spoiled because I’m on this side of the videos, but I can tell that they are a lot more work than we all realize. I can also tell you have some frustration and I hope you are finding where you want to be. You put out great videos and I’ve learned a ton from watching them. Won’t matter what you are cooking on, I’ll still enjoy your work. Thanks for all you have done and all you have in store for us! (And I’m still happy to take that WHP off your hands if you’re ready to move on from it - a shame they treated you like that bc that was an amazing channel too).
Yeah, I had no idea how much work it was. I went in blind. I love it, but even a 2 hour cook is a 4 hour job by the time you get setup and get all the shots you want. Then have to edit it. This will give me more time to step up my quality even more. I still use the WH so it’s not going away anytime soon 😁. Thanks for the kind words. 🍻
I appreciate the videos that you put out. You are very passionate in what you do. I realize it is a lot of work. Looking forward for the KK and KJ comparison video.
Gotta do you gotta do to have fun and be happy in the way you live. That being said I will still watch your videos regardless of Kamado kamado or Kamado joe. I will watch your Yoder Pellet videos as well. Also I bbq every weekend I can. What I do in a typical year at home is 12 Briskets, 6 chuck roast, 8 beed dino ribs, 12 pork buts, 12 spare ribs, 10 baby back ribs, 200+ homemade sausages, 30lb of chicken wings, 20 chicken breast, 20 drumsticks, 15 whole chickens and I smoke my sandwich meat. I typically grill 100+ burgers, 48 hot dogs, and 8 ribeye, 20 ny strip, 4 Fillet, 6 porterhouse, tomahawk ribeye, and 8 piccana, 6 pork tenderloins, 4 pork loins, and 20 pork chops. About half of that goes to guests. Also I do not do youtube of my bbq and grilling because it would take the fun out of it for me.
Cheers. I can't imagine what you guys spend so thanks for being candid about it. I could probably do a channel but I'm too cheap and lazy lmao. Glad to see the blue beauty behind you again. I think KK is a much emptier niche. I don't know if there's any money in it as most people haven't heard of KK, but there's tons of offset and KJ content already.
🤣 yeah def a lot of work. KK is back and I think people will like it. Def a lot of KJ out there and the KK is way better. I talk about that next week. 🍻
No channel is worth your sanity. This is especially true when it’s a hobby. In your case, you do it for passion and the hobby needs to pay its own way, or it’s stealing from your family. I pray that you find your balance quickly and are able to continue to produce the fine content we have come to enjoy. Most of all, I thank you for all of your effort and for the great content you have provided to date. Your work is inspiring and it regularly point friends and family to your channel. Why? Because you provide high quality content in a most engaging way. You elevate BBQ in a fun and attainable way. Thank you for all that you do. I look forward to what comes next.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Not going away anytime soon. 4 videos per month is way easier. The rain doesn’t hurt as much and if I work hard I can do a whole month in a weekend. Thanks for the kind words! 🍻
Thanks Jake for all that you do. About a year ago I stumbled across your channel and subscribed shortly after...The content you put out is leagues ahead of most others . Never gave much thought about the personal costs you sacrificed to bring that content for me to watch.... so yeah step back a little, take more time for yourself and your family ...go for quality over quantity as far as future videos are concerned.....cheers ! and for what it's worth... drink more rum ! Tastes great, less filling! :-)
I wish Don at Yoder recognized what you've done for the Yoder brand to send you an El Dorado to make some videos. Chef Tom has only done one video to launch the product, and now nothing.
Yoder knows me well and helps support the channel. I don’t really have the room for an El Dorado right now though. I’d have to start filming in my driveway haha 🍻
Good for you Jake. I have always appreciated the time and money investment you done for all of us. I have a Yoder ys640s so I love seeing you try different techniques on the pellet grill. Thank you for all your time and effort. Cheers.
Thank you! I’m launching a new newsletter and giving away my new PDF on 11 secrets to more smoke on a pellet grill. Check it out: bbq.rumandcook.com/11-secrets 🍻
I wouldn’t give them free content either. I tried to get a free shirt because my Pitt was only supposed to take 8 months I got it in 364 days. One day before a year. But little ridiculous they don’t wanna sponsor the channel and then to only offer you a shirt and some wheels it should have came with is ridiculous.
Thanks, yeah I definitely did more than my fair share to help them. Now if you look there is no new content. Like 15 videos in the last year with 3 of them being mine. It’s too bad really. 🍻
I think that I can speak for almost everyone and say " thank you for what you do and I have learned much from you! It's good to see that you are going to "step back" a little and enjoy yourself a little. BBQ is not a cheap hobby and honestly, I don't know how you have been doing it. My wife would kill me!! lol Looking forward to the new changes ahead, and as always, I will always watch your channel.
As a KK owner I can say with confidence that the KK community is screaming out for a KK guru on TH-cam. You can easily be the KK equivalent to KJ-James. I was introduced to and bought my KK after watching your early KK content but I’ve struggled to get the best out of my U23 (although I’m getting better but still at I’m just average). I was devastated when you switched to KJ but I’m elated that you’re coming back to doing KK content again. There is a seriously large KK community and there is a paucity of any related content.
At least you got my name right 😂. Chris Bartlow (his name is Scott) is probably pissed! Good luck with the new program Jake. Hope you find it more rewarding!
Damnit! 🍻 total brain fart. I knew that too! Hopefully he forgives me lol. It will be a hell of a lot less stressful doing one per week, that’s for sure 😁. Thanks! 🍻
Great to hear your channel update. I’m a big believer in “a rising tide lifts all ships.” We all can help each other reach our professional goals without sacrificing our personal priorities. I think that’s just a healthy way of living always evaluating what needs to change to move forward. I’m always adapting and discerning the right direction of my channel and bbq business goals. I have been called worse things than Chris. 😂 You are doing a fantastic job with this channel!
Another very recent subscriber here! Totally understand! I do want to thank you for your videos about pizza in a KJ! I discovered you via that search, and your method of the diffuser plates with rock spacers under a pizza stone absolutely worked! So I very much appreciate your time invested, and hope you enjoy some much deserved rest!
I just wanted to say that you inspired me to purchase the workhorse pit. I was really disappointed when you took the videos down because I referenced your content a lot. I’ve learned a lot from several of your videos. It makes sense that you need to earn money making the videos. But, for some of us new cooks, the content you put up made a difference and it was less than awesome when you took the videos down. I’d follow you more closely if you could add those offset videos back to your run and cook channel.
Unfortunately, I helped sell at least 20 pits that I’m aware of and I was doing a ton of customer service them because they were too slow. I needed a clean cut because it was costing me too much time to do all that work for them. One of JD’s final comments to me was well if you “actually” sold 20 pits, thanks I appreciate it. That was enough for me to know who I was dealing with. I created a course with my best content and a never seen before fire management video. You can find it here: www.rumandcook.com/workhorse-pits-1975-beginners-guide 🍻
@@RumandCook I cook in one of Texas top BBQ joints and thousands of people visit our pit room each month. I know Workhorse has taken over the offset kingdom because they are superior to anything out there and if that company had to pay every TH-camr/TikTok a commission, they'd go under. I gladly tell people to buy aa Workhorse and I've told JD that I've seasily old 100 smokers in Austin, TX alone. I've probably sold 100 Toyota Tundra's as well. I think if you expected to buy a pit for making videos to "sell" pits you should have done what Meat Church did with Mill Scale with an influencer deal. The pit building industry will make no one rich. Trust this, the two guys I know very well barely can make their payroll.
@williemakeit7185 You’re missing the point. I wasn’t just a random TH-camr. I answered countless DMs and emails doing customer service for them because they were so slow. I was also one of a very small few group putting out high quality content for them. Look what’s out there now, nothing. I don’t really care that they didn’t want to support the channel. They made their choice and that’s fine, but I wasn’t going to continue to do customer service and make content for them for free. I get tons of questions about it and I wanted to be transparent and move on. That’s really the point of those comments. I didn’t throw them under the bus or anything. 🍻
@@RumandCook Did you ask them to support the channel prior to making videos? Did they say no? I never expect a dime for referring them customers and I am not sure why they would pay anyone is all I am saying. We have a tons of social posts a week to visit our restaurant and that drives traffic here, but in reality people do it to build their own social media following. Did you ever consider that their smoker helped you gain views and a following? I am just confused.
@williemakeit7185 what you are confused about is your business is BBQ mine is YT. You are getting paid to make BBQ, if you recommend a pit so be it. My business is YT and YT ads don’t pay much at all. With 130k views in 28 days it’s $1400. No I didn’t ask them in advance. I built an audience and a product first and then asked. They didn’t want to help in any way , not even setup an affiliate link, so I shut it down. Plain and simple really, nothing complicated. 🍻
Appreciate all you do for the BBQ community. Just bought a Yoder 640 with pizza oven thanks to your advice, and just cooked the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Subscribers appreciate your outlook and experience. Thank you.
Thank you for the KK content! First and foremost take care of yourself! New subscriber here! Love your content. Thank you for all that you have done and will do. You are appreciated!
Sorry to hear that you are not going to do any offset content, but I understand the family always comes first. Most of us smokers can use ideas and make it work on any cooker. God bless keep the content coming on any cooker 🇺🇸🥃
I had a long wait for my Workhorse 1975, you started Offset Rookie while I was waiting & I really enjoyed the content. As much of a bummer it is I fully understand & thanks for the explanation since I’m sure most of us were wondering why you’re using each grill.
Congrats on the 1975. Just for clarity sake, I paid full price for my Yoder, KK, and Workhorse. I bought the Yoder and KK long before I had a channel. I bought the WH to try and build a channel around it. I figured if I was producing top quality content and producing 100s of thousands of views they would help support it. When it was clear they wouldn’t consider any type of support at all, that was went I decided running a second channel to give them free marketing and do customer service for them was a waste of money. 🍻
Yup I completely agree, I believe they’d be getting the better end of the deal so it’s quite puzzling but kudos to you for putting out great content & even showing us when cooks go wrong.
Workhorse has been promising TH-cam video content for years but they haven’t followed through. It seems their main goal has been mass production to a volume that they’re at now, and unfortunately the video content has been ignored. You and others, including myself, have picked up the slack. I know I’ve personally influenced at least a couple dozen to purchase a Workhorse, but I did that out of a passion for the hobby. To expect anything from JD in return seemed fruitless based on my experience in the Facebook groups. Too bad you weren’t in those groups, as I bet your expectations would’ve been different.
Yeah JD told me part of his plan was to invite the influencers to the campus so we could do some filming there, more free promotion lol. Im not on Facebook, but I expected after some time he might see value in it. I’m all for supporting the hobby, but have to draw a line at some point. My channel had over 400k views and 50 videos when I shut it down. They went retail which means they wholesaling to dealers. He could have at least set up an affiliate program to support us in return. Ahh well it is what is now. 🍻
@@RumandCook don’t ever do Facebook 😅 so much drama there, and that’s why I’m not surprised by anything you mentioned. Hobby vs. $ spent…I agree you have to draw the line once you start investing so much like you have. 🍻
You should go take a trip to their facility. I was just there in May picking up Workhorse #2 and was floored at their operation and campus. I bought one of the first 200 smokers in 2019. If you do visit them you will quickly realize he has no life. One of the guys who loaded my wagon said he gets in at 4:30am seven days a week and is the last to leave. When I spoke to him he only said content did not go as planned due to the demand from day, which seems like he doesn't manage his time well. On a side note, I was able to speak with a long time pit master at Frankin's BBQ and we were discussing how great the videos were that he made early in the life of TH-cam {pre 2011 and his latest channel} Those videos were not only helpful, but got me into smoking brisket and barbeque in general. So we can only hope creators keep creating stick burner content.
I’m sure it’s amazing, they make a great pit for sure. I knew he worked crazy hard, he super passionate about what he does which is why it’s such a great product. 🍻

Personally I got a chronic illness 4 years ago and came to realize that nothing is more important than my personal faith, my personal wellness (physically & mentally), my marriage and other cherished loved ones.
I have learned a ton from you, I have gone from no grills 2 years ago to now I have one pellet smoker, one charcoal grill, one cheap wood fired pizza oven and one inexpensive offset. This is partially because of you and other creators that inspire me and how much all of this helps me mentally and honestly spiritually. When I’m out making food, frequently for others, I talk with God, decompress and get more centered.
All that to once again say thank you for everything. My Hod bless you, your marriage and the works of your hands.

Just wanted to thank you for your videos and all the hard work you've done. I don't comment often but have watched a ton of your videos and have learned a ton from them. I've been grilling for years but only started smoking in the last 6-7 years, started with Weber Smoky Mountain, have a Weber Summit Kamado and last year bought the Yoder 640s, and a few months ago the Yoder Pizza oven.
I love the fact that your videos are often the first time you've done something. I've learned a ton from them and have helped make the purchase of my Yoder so successful.
I had no idea how much time you put into this but it makes sense and totally appreciate that you neee to focus more on life.
Thanks so much for all you've done and am happy you are going to keep doing the Yoder videos.

I am new to your channel because I just bought a kamado Joe III classic. I have two pellet recteq which I love but I’m selling both to get another recteq 1200 and getting rid of them. I’m going to have the kamado Joe and the recteq 1200. I am new to your channel but it has been super informative especially on my kamado. I’m loving the content bro!
Awesome congrats! Glad you find it useful. 🍻
Jake. I appreciate your honesty. You need to spend as much time with your family. You never now what might happen. Just lost my father recently. I am really glad you are bringing back the KK. Looking forward to seeing more!!!
Thanks I appreciate it. Sorry to hear about your father. As you get older time definitely becomes more important. KJ vs KK is next week and then some new content will be coming.
First cook was a 13pound pork butt. 🍻
Jake, absolutely love your videos and appreciate all the effort you put into it! One thing that is constantly pounded into my head is work life balance! Besides working full time, as you mentioned, plus the countless hours for making videos, we would all support your channel if you had to cut down on videos to keep yourself sane! All work and no play makes jack a dull boy!
🤣 Can’t have a dull boy. Thanks much, I appreciate it! 🍻
You've definitely made an impact in the Yoder community because I have personally referenced you multiple times as have others when it comes to cooks, cleaning tips, etc. As I've said before your content is excellent and I've learned a lot. I have yet to try your homemade sausage as it seems like a lot of work but you've assured me it's not as much as it seems and the end product is worth the effort. Thanks again for what you've done. It's definitely appreciated.
Thanks, I appreciate you spreading the word and frequent comments! Give sausage a try. Seriously once you do it you’ll wish you had and done it sooner. 🍻
Not too many understand what goes in to making content. Best of luck and it's much appreciated.
Nope, I greatly underestimated it myself lol. All good though, lots coming. Thanks! 🍻
Just found your videos a couple weeks ago. Great content! Do what you gotta do to stay sane. Might buy your class
Welcome! Thanks, glad you found it useful. That bundle is 14 pages and should be helpful! 🍻
I just realized you were talking about the class I’m working on sorry. I have a brand new product that I launched yesterday: bbq.rumandcook.com/11-secrets
Good for you. You have to do what is right for you and your family. These changes are not only reasonable but a necessity for balance in your life. Look forward to continuation of my smoking education on Rum & Cook. 4 times a week is just perfect for me and I suspect 90% of your subscriber base.
Thanks much. I appreciate that. 🍻
Glad the KK is back! I know I’ll watch more now. I have a 32” KK and I bought it right around when you dropped it before. I was disappointed because there isn’t much good KK content. I think you are making a good move. It’s a unique cooker and will definitely help differentiate your channel.
Congrats on the KK. Yep hoping I can fill a gap for sure. 🍻
All I can say is, it’s about time! Good for you. I did ribs on the Yoder yesterday and made 8 hour baked beans, green chili Mac and cheese, corn on the cob, and potato salad for a get together. A lot of work, but like you I loved it! I can’t imagine filming, editing, etc. during a cook! Love your stuff and luckily your wife does too. BTW, my wife doesn’t really care for BBQ either lol!
Yeah it def takes time, but the result is worth it. Can’t rush good BBQ! Thanks for the feedback. 🍻
Offset Rookie was cool. I have 0 interest in pellet grills though :(
Like I said, I done talking about offset. I have no love for Workhorse - 0. 🍻
@@RumandCook I unsubscribed. Have fun with the pellet grill and the luxury Kamado Kamado.
@@snedalift K, Bye 👋 Don't need any people with sh!tty attitudes anyways. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out 🫡
🤣 win some, lose some 🙄 🍻
My thoughts exactly!! 👊🍻
Always appreciate your honesty and I’ve learned alot from you, thank you and I’ll watch whatever you put out! Be true to yourself buddy and I know you’ll still pursue your goals!
Thanks Stan! 🍻
Thanks Jake! I work a full time job and gig once or twice every weekend and have two young kids that are getting into school sport. It's tough! lol All the best mate, appreciate your vids and looking forward to the KK content :)
Right back at you. Thanks. 🍻
Sir I am very glad to hear that you will continue with the KK because a month or 2 ago I believe it was, you said that your KK was for sale. I am 80 years old and for my birthday I bought my self a KK and I look forward when it gets here in Spain., I know it will last the rest of my life.
I am a mispalced Texan and I love to BBQ and watching your channel inspires me and I enjoy it
So I am glad you are continuing with the KK and I look forward to your next presentations
Many Thanks
Jon Stadman
Hey Jon, congrats on the KK. Yeah I put it up for sale because I didn’t have room. I always expected to have another at some point. Luckily I didn’t work too hard at trying to sell it and glad I kept it in my garage. 🍻
I totally understand
I don’t comment as often as I should I haven’t missed a video since I subscribed
I just smoked 48lbs of butt turned out great
I have been smoking for40 years but I still learn from you
Thank you
Wow! That’s a big butt. Thanks for the note glad I can help! 🍻
I was drawn to this channel while researching my KJ. Very helpful and entertaining. However. For me, I get to a point where I'm following a channel as a fan, hoping for successful results for the person. I guess I'l be learning about KK's now.
Thanks I appreciate you following along. Great thing is, anything KK will translate to KJ pretty easily. 🍻
Appreciate the update and all that you’ve done on TH-cam. For my viewing style, one video a week is just right. I’ll make sure to set my subscription to “all videos“. Thank you for what you do and I hope your new strategy works out as you hope.
Quite welcome, thanks for watching! Lots more coming. 🍻
Thanks for all you do! I’ve recently bought a Yoder and am enjoying your videos. Looking forward to what you have planned!

Thanks for the info on why you got out of offset smoking. Totally get it. Best to you and I’m still hanging with ya!
Thanks! I greatly appreciate it. 🍻
Thanks for what you do, Jake. Looking forward to seeing what’s coming.
Thank you. Lots more coming! 🍻
Just recently discovered the channel and subscribed. Just want to say I appreciate what you do. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge from your videos!
Thanks and welcome! I appreciate the support and happy to hear you are getting value from the videos. 🍻
Love the Patina on the workhorse. I thought I was seeing things when I tuned in. Im sure glad to see your back with the KK. I like the workhorse and KK, Im not really a pellet fan.look forward to see what you do. Smoke on Jake
Thank you sir. I’ve actually cleaned up the WH since it’s starting to look like it’s old self lol. Lots coming! 🍻
I was wondering where your KK went and why a KJ replaced it. Your explanation makes sense. KK’s just don’t have numbers out there to draw volume like the KJ will.
Glad to see the KK back! My 32 is on its way across the pond so future content will be appreciated.
Your content keeps getting better. Be yourself and do what you like…a good product will always sell itself ;)
Thanks much. Congrats on the KK! 🍻
Love the channel, no matter the equipment. I'll keep watching.
Thanks I appreciate it! 🍻
appreciate the content. Hard work shows! Good luck and will continue to support!
Thank you sir, I appreciate that! 🍻
Love what you do. It's taught me a lot about barbecue and different ways to cook on various grills and pits. Great stuff. I think 1 video a week is totally acceptable from a viewers perspective. You don't have a huge channel so it's not like you can quit your day job quite yet and do youtube full time. It's only fair to balance life, work and hobby and make it all work for you. Maybe at 150K subscribers and more big sponsors you can consider doing this full time. But until then, I think 4 videos a month is still enough to keep people interested without killing yourself for an extra few views a month. Rock on man and I look forward to what ever you put out.
Thanks, glad you get some value out of it! Never know what the future holds 😁🍻
Would love to know how you found your editor. I've checked the freelancer sites but keep striking out on anyone decent.
If you shoot me an email I will make an intro. 🍻
@@RumandCook sent. Thanks. 👍
Intro sent 🍻
@@RumandCook you're the man. Thanks a bunch
I commented yesterday but it didn't go thru. Funny you mentioned life advice...On my social media BBQ page I say "follow me if you need life advice, love moist meat and wanna Make America Moist Again." With that said, I understand the work it takes to make content, with a regular full time job. With that said, thank you for the content you make. You inspire us small guys.
I completely get where you're coming from with the value of time. Good call. The Best call is going back to KK. I was shocked when you said you were selling that off. I Love my KK. In fact, I have since bought my mother one and another Big Bad 32 for our place in Grand Cayman. I wouldn't live without a KK now. Third, would Love to see more from your pizza oven as well. Good luck to you and your channel. I'll continue watching all of your content. Thanks for giving your precious time for our amusement. I truly enjoy your content. We have so many grills and such that I feel I can totally relate to you.
Wow, congrats on all the KKs. I’m happy mine is back on the patio and we can get reacquainted once again. I missed have all the extra space of the 32 😁. I appreciate the kind works and support.

Jake, glad to hear you will be doing more KK content! Looking foreword to it.
Thanks! Lots coming 🍻
You know… it makes me sad how TH-cam tends to burn people out. If it’s not the dumb comments people leave, it’s the dumb algorithm that TH-cam uses. I am spoiled because I’m on this side of the videos, but I can tell that they are a lot more work than we all realize. I can also tell you have some frustration and I hope you are finding where you want to be. You put out great videos and I’ve learned a ton from watching them. Won’t matter what you are cooking on, I’ll still enjoy your work. Thanks for all you have done and all you have in store for us! (And I’m still happy to take that WHP off your hands if you’re ready to move on from it - a shame they treated you like that bc that was an amazing channel too).
Yeah, I had no idea how much work it was. I went in blind. I love it, but even a 2 hour cook is a 4 hour job by the time you get setup and get all the shots you want. Then have to edit it. This will give me more time to step up my quality even more.
I still use the WH so it’s not going away anytime soon 😁. Thanks for the kind words. 🍻
It sounds like you are making the right choices. Good for you. 👍
Thanks much! 🍻
I appreciate the videos that you put out. You are very passionate in what you do. I realize it is a lot of work. Looking forward for the KK and KJ comparison video.
Thank you sir! I see you commenting all the time and appreciate it. KJ vs. KK comes out next week! 🍻
Fired up to hear you'll have some more KK content coming!
Thanks! 🍻
Gotta do you gotta do to have fun and be happy in the way you live. That being said I will still watch your videos regardless of Kamado kamado or Kamado joe. I will watch your Yoder Pellet videos as well. Also I bbq every weekend I can. What I do in a typical year at home is 12 Briskets, 6 chuck roast, 8 beed dino ribs, 12 pork buts, 12 spare ribs, 10 baby back ribs, 200+ homemade sausages, 30lb of chicken wings, 20 chicken breast, 20 drumsticks, 15 whole chickens and I smoke my sandwich meat. I typically grill 100+ burgers, 48 hot dogs, and 8 ribeye, 20 ny strip, 4 Fillet, 6 porterhouse, tomahawk ribeye, and 8 piccana, 6 pork tenderloins, 4 pork loins, and 20 pork chops. About half of that goes to guests. Also I do not do youtube of my bbq and grilling because it would take the fun out of it for me.
You are a bbq machine! 😁. Thanks I appreciate it! 🍻
Enjoy your Quality time life is too short!
Thanks much! 🍻
All I can say is, you do what you do, well. Keep it up.
Thanks Steve! 🍻
I have a komodo kamado and have found your channel to be of great assistance.. thank you
Lots of KK content coming so it’s about to be even more useful. Thanks! 🍻
Your dedication is appreciated
Thanks much! 🍻
I'll definitely watch your KK content. I'd also look into direct heat cooking like a Chud Box if you want to differentiate yourself.
Thanks! I’m out of room on the patio for now, but maybe in the future. 🍻
A older friend of mine once told me “you can’t buy time” 👍
Very True! 🍻
Cheers. I can't imagine what you guys spend so thanks for being candid about it. I could probably do a channel but I'm too cheap and lazy lmao.
Glad to see the blue beauty behind you again. I think KK is a much emptier niche. I don't know if there's any money in it as most people haven't heard of KK, but there's tons of offset and KJ content already.
🤣 yeah def a lot of work. KK is back and I think people will like it. Def a lot of KJ out there and the KK is way better. I talk about that next week. 🍻
@@RumandCook Yeah. I'd love to have a KK. If I could only have one pit, that would be it for sure.
New to your channel but love your work, thanks!
Welcome! 🍻

Haha James! Don’t you know it! 🍻
I enjoy your videos and passion for bbqing. I’ll keep watching even though I don’t have either of you bbq’s
No channel is worth your sanity. This is especially true when it’s a hobby. In your case, you do it for passion and the hobby needs to pay its own way, or it’s stealing from your family.
I pray that you find your balance quickly and are able to continue to produce the fine content we have come to enjoy.
Most of all, I thank you for all of your effort and for the great content you have provided to date. Your work is inspiring and it regularly point friends and family to your channel. Why? Because you provide high quality content in a most engaging way. You elevate BBQ in a fun and attainable way.
Thank you for all that you do. I look forward to what comes next.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Not going away anytime soon. 4 videos per month is way easier. The rain doesn’t hurt as much and if I work hard I can do a whole month in a weekend.
Thanks for the kind words! 🍻
Thanks Jake for all that you do. About a year ago I stumbled across your channel and subscribed shortly after...The content you put out is leagues ahead of most others . Never gave much thought about the personal costs you sacrificed to bring that content for me to watch.... so yeah step back a little, take more time for yourself and your family ...go for quality over quantity as far as future videos are concerned.....cheers ! and for what it's worth... drink more rum ! Tastes great, less filling! :-)
🤣🤣 love it! I’m enjoying a rum and coke right now! Thanks I appreciate it. 🍻
The hard work has paid off!
Yeah for sure. Definitely in a better place. 🍻
I wish Don at Yoder recognized what you've done for the Yoder brand to send you an El Dorado to make some videos. Chef Tom has only done one video to launch the product, and now nothing.
Yoder knows me well and helps support the channel. I don’t really have the room for an El Dorado right now though. I’d have to start filming in my driveway haha 🍻
Good for you Jake. I have always appreciated the time and money investment you done for all of us. I have a Yoder ys640s so I love seeing you try different techniques on the pellet grill. Thank you for all your time and effort. Cheers.
Thank you! I’m launching a new newsletter and giving away my new PDF on 11 secrets to more smoke on a pellet grill. Check it out: bbq.rumandcook.com/11-secrets 🍻
I wouldn’t give them free content either. I tried to get a free shirt because my Pitt was only supposed to take 8 months I got it in 364 days. One day before a year. But little ridiculous they don’t wanna sponsor the channel and then to only offer you a shirt and some wheels it should have came with is ridiculous.
Thanks, yeah I definitely did more than my fair share to help them. Now if you look there is no new content. Like 15 videos in the last year with 3 of them being mine. It’s too bad really. 🍻
@@RumandCook @patriotpitts sponsor Jake and send him and offset so we can get some offset content lol

I think that I can speak for almost everyone and say " thank you for what you do and I have learned much from you! It's good to see that you are going to "step back" a little and enjoy yourself a little. BBQ is not a cheap hobby and honestly, I don't know how you have been doing it. My wife would kill me!! lol Looking forward to the new changes ahead, and as always, I will always watch your channel.
Thanks Fred, I really appreciate that. You are always one of the first to comment! 🍻
As a KK owner I can say with confidence that the KK community is screaming out for a KK guru on TH-cam. You can easily be the KK equivalent to KJ-James. I was introduced to and bought my KK after watching your early KK content but I’ve struggled to get the best out of my U23 (although I’m getting better but still at I’m just average). I was devastated when you switched to KJ but I’m elated that you’re coming back to doing KK content again. There is a seriously large KK community and there is a paucity of any related content.
Congrats on the KK. I’ll do my best! 😁🍻
At least you got my name right 😂. Chris Bartlow (his name is Scott) is probably pissed! Good luck with the new program Jake. Hope you find it more rewarding!
Damnit! 🍻 total brain fart. I knew that too! Hopefully he forgives me lol. It will be a hell of a lot less stressful doing one per week, that’s for sure 😁. Thanks! 🍻
Great to hear your channel update. I’m a big believer in “a rising tide lifts all ships.” We all can help each other reach our professional goals without sacrificing our personal priorities. I think that’s just a healthy way of living always evaluating what needs to change to move forward. I’m always adapting and discerning the right direction of my channel and bbq business goals.

Thanks I appreciate it! 🍻
I just wanted to say that you inspired me to purchase the workhorse pit. I was really disappointed when you took the videos down because I referenced your content a lot. I’ve learned a lot from several of your videos. It makes sense that you need to earn money making the videos. But, for some of us new cooks, the content you put up made a difference and it was less than awesome when you took the videos down. I’d follow you more closely if you could add those offset videos back to your run and cook channel.
Unfortunately, I helped sell at least 20 pits that I’m aware of and I was doing a ton of customer service them because they were too slow.
I needed a clean cut because it was costing me too much time to do all that work for them. One of JD’s final comments to me was well if you “actually” sold 20 pits, thanks I appreciate it. That was enough for me to know who I was dealing with.
I created a course with my best content and a never seen before fire management video. You can find it here: www.rumandcook.com/workhorse-pits-1975-beginners-guide 🍻
@@RumandCook I cook in one of Texas top BBQ joints and thousands of people visit our pit room each month. I know Workhorse has taken over the offset kingdom because they are superior to anything out there and if that company had to pay every TH-camr/TikTok a commission, they'd go under. I gladly tell people to buy aa Workhorse and I've told JD that I've seasily old 100 smokers in Austin, TX alone. I've probably sold 100 Toyota Tundra's as well. I think if you expected to buy a pit for making videos to "sell" pits you should have done what Meat Church did with Mill Scale with an influencer deal. The pit building industry will make no one rich. Trust this, the two guys I know very well barely can make their payroll.
@williemakeit7185 You’re missing the point. I wasn’t just a random TH-camr. I answered countless DMs and emails doing customer service for them because they were so slow. I was also one of a very small few group putting out high quality content for them. Look what’s out there now, nothing.
I don’t really care that they didn’t want to support the channel. They made their choice and that’s fine, but I wasn’t going to continue to do customer service and make content for them for free.
I get tons of questions about it and I wanted to be transparent and move on. That’s really the point of those comments. I didn’t throw them under the bus or anything. 🍻
@@RumandCook Did you ask them to support the channel prior to making videos? Did they say no? I never expect a dime for referring them customers and I am not sure why they would pay anyone is all I am saying. We have a tons of social posts a week to visit our restaurant and that drives traffic here, but in reality people do it to build their own social media following. Did you ever consider that their smoker helped you gain views and a following? I am just confused.
@williemakeit7185 what you are confused about is your business is BBQ mine is YT. You are getting paid to make BBQ, if you recommend a pit so be it.
My business is YT and YT ads don’t pay much at all. With 130k views in 28 days it’s $1400.
No I didn’t ask them in advance. I built an audience and a product first and then asked. They didn’t want to help in any way , not even setup an affiliate link, so I shut it down. Plain and simple really, nothing complicated. 🍻
Appreciate all you do for the BBQ community. Just bought a Yoder 640 with pizza oven thanks to your advice, and just cooked the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Subscribers appreciate your outlook and experience. Thank you.
Awesome congrats! Thanks for the note, happy to hear it’s helpful. 🍻
Thank you for the KK content! First and foremost take care of yourself! New subscriber here! Love your content. Thank you for all that you have done and will do. You are appreciated!
Thanks so much. I appreciate that! Welcome to the crew! 🍻
Sorry to hear that you are not going to do any offset content, but I understand the family always comes first. Most of us smokers can use ideas and make it work on any cooker. God bless keep the content coming on any cooker 🇺🇸🥃
Thank you sir! Can def translate to other smokers for sure. 🍻
I had a long wait for my Workhorse 1975, you started Offset Rookie while I was waiting & I really enjoyed the content. As much of a bummer it is I fully understand & thanks for the explanation since I’m sure most of us were wondering why you’re using each grill.
Congrats on the 1975.
Just for clarity sake, I paid full price for my Yoder, KK, and Workhorse. I bought the Yoder and KK long before I had a channel.
I bought the WH to try and build a channel around it. I figured if I was producing top quality content and producing 100s of thousands of views they would help support it.
When it was clear they wouldn’t consider any type of support at all, that was went I decided running a second channel to give them free marketing and do customer service for them was a waste of money. 🍻
Yup I completely agree, I believe they’d be getting the better end of the deal so it’s quite puzzling but kudos to you for putting out great content & even showing us when cooks go wrong.
@danponch thanks I appreciate that! 🍻
Good for you. Time is the one thing money can't buy you. Enjoy your time and your family. ✊🏻
Thanks much! 🍻
Workhorse has been promising TH-cam video content for years but they haven’t followed through. It seems their main goal has been mass production to a volume that they’re at now, and unfortunately the video content has been ignored. You and others, including myself, have picked up the slack. I know I’ve personally influenced at least a couple dozen to purchase a Workhorse, but I did that out of a passion for the hobby. To expect anything from JD in return seemed fruitless based on my experience in the Facebook groups. Too bad you weren’t in those groups, as I bet your expectations would’ve been different.
Yeah JD told me part of his plan was to invite the influencers to the campus so we could do some filming there, more free promotion lol.
Im not on Facebook, but I expected after some time he might see value in it. I’m all for supporting the hobby, but have to draw a line at some point. My channel had over 400k views and 50 videos when I shut it down.
They went retail which means they wholesaling to dealers. He could have at least set up an affiliate program to support us in return.
Ahh well it is what is now. 🍻
@@RumandCook don’t ever do Facebook 😅 so much drama there, and that’s why I’m not surprised by anything you mentioned. Hobby vs. $ spent…I agree you have to draw the line once you start investing so much like you have. 🍻
@smokescouts 🤣 yeah for sure. I was on Facebook for 15 minutes 8 years ago and was like, yep F this! and deleted my account hah 🍻
You should go take a trip to their facility. I was just there in May picking up Workhorse #2 and was floored at their operation and campus. I bought one of the first 200 smokers in 2019. If you do visit them you will quickly realize he has no life. One of the guys who loaded my wagon said he gets in at 4:30am seven days a week and is the last to leave. When I spoke to him he only said content did not go as planned due to the demand from day, which seems like he doesn't manage his time well. On a side note, I was able to speak with a long time pit master at Frankin's BBQ and we were discussing how great the videos were that he made early in the life of TH-cam {pre 2011 and his latest channel} Those videos were not only helpful, but got me into smoking brisket and barbeque in general. So we can only hope creators keep creating stick burner content.
I’m sure it’s amazing, they make a great pit for sure. I knew he worked crazy hard, he super passionate about what he does which is why it’s such a great product. 🍻
A bit of a sad day , but I understand where you are coming from , best of luck !!!
Thanks much. Lots more content coming! 🍻
High Five for Yoder!!!!!
