Make sure you LIKE and SHARE the video so it can spread to more people :) No joke, some of the best BBQ I've ever had is at Dampf, man! it's crazy how well they've dialed it in, while having the largest and most diverse menu I've ever seen. Loved my time there and hope you guys could feel how much fun we had. Please like and share the video if you enjoyed it! It helps push it to wider youtube audiences, so I can make more of these for you guys! Take care, y'all ✌️😁
These videos are amazing dude. I'm planning my 2024 US BBQ tour and every one of these places are definitely being added to the list. Thanks for all you do.
For better or worse, I almost never leave comments (and I'm a BBQ TH-cam addict), but after seeing 5 or 6 or more of your videos, I feel compelled to tell you just how good you are at producing these stories (which is really what they are). Obviously, the food is beyond amazing, but the background of the people who have the passion for what they do is incredibly inspiring. The BBQ culinary world is completely different than most other types and the sacrifices are difficult to explain. You do a fantastic job of conveying this. Looking forward to the next story.
Okay hear me out…i’m not trying stroke your ego, Ant, but the quality of your bbq story videos is incredible. I’ve stopped subscribing to EmbersTv because your content is so much better. doesn’t feel rushed and really tells these peoples stories! Love it!
Man embers catching strays😂 I appreciate it man. But yeah, enjoy the free content. Just like and share it so it can do better on youtube and I can make more 😁
I’ve been working on a project about 5 minutes from here for the last year and let me tell you how dangerous that is 🤣 Last week the wind caught my to go box filled with brisket and sausage and it spilled.. this dude came out helped me clean it, remade my order for free without me ever asking. Made my day that day. Can’t recommend this place enough, best Texas bbq outside of Texas.
Love the BBQ documentaries you film and produce. It’s very well done, wholesome and relaxing to see people talk about their passions and success stories then seeing what they all do differently, and how they’re all like family together. Thank you for your time and passion in putting it all together
I got to talk to these guys and try their food at a bourbon and barbecue festival in Atlanta a couple years ago. It as legit as anything you’ll get in Texas. Really worth a stop if you’re in the area.
As a Chicagoan who moved to KC and loves Texas Style BBQ, I really wanna try this spot! Consistency is so important in a restaurant and I feel like a lot of the popular spots here in KC really lack that. My fav spots in town are Texas style, I wanna try this smoked italian beef so badly.
They’re in quite like 10-15 of the Texas Monthly Top 50 spots, plus a lot of cool spots across the country like Bark in NYC. They only build two smokers a month because Michael (the owner) is all about the quality and not volume. I’ve seen they’re moving into a bigger shop to try to start scaling up more.
I know that Aaron Franklin is coming to the Raleigh area in Feb. 2024. I wish he would check these guys out. I think we go there every week to grab some thing and they have catered our holiday meals for the last two years. I wish nothing but wild success for Nick and the team!!
No cap one of the best bbq videos I've seen.im from Louisiana and I sell bbq when not driving my 18 wheeler and I try bbq all over. These guys are make me wanna go to north Carolina to check then out. Hopefully one day I'll be good enough to make it in one of your stories like this, keep up the amazing quality content
When I see food like this I want to sing the American National Anthem and sign up for citizenship. Keep it up America!!! Keep up the good work @AntsBBQCookout keep exposing all these young upcoming restaurants.
Always enjoy your documentary style videos! Bonus is you've highlighted a place I wasn't aware of and can hopefully get more TX bbq nearby. Been to Lewis BBQ before but that is quite a bit further for me. I feel like it's unique to have good TX style beef with whole hog pork served at the same place (to say nothing about the pork steaks?!?!), SO excited to give Dampf a shot!
Ant, this content is killer, my guy. You're clearly a careful student of some of the great food documentaries on youtube (smokepoint, especially), but I also see where you have the freedom to include content that would probably never have made it into an Eater video. I love this video, and getting to hear about their faith was obviously an integral part of it. Thanks for sharing that and for leaving it in. The Dampf boys are killing it. I hope to make it out there some time. May they prosper, and in doing so, may the Gospel go forth.
thats the main reason i couldnt sell BBQ Story to a network. i want the freedom to tell the story in partnership with the restaurant im featuring. That was a big reason why i wanted to share this one, love working with other believers :)
You just can't really beat white oak for tenderness, it just does something to the meat. Grill some steaks over white oak in a fire place and they will be fork tender and juicy.
Great video. I’m a bit confused about one thing though. He said they cooked their briskets start to finish unwrapped. Later in the video they are foil wrapping the briskets and putting them into a holding oven. I guess holding isn’t considered cooking technically if if under 160f.
Dude so good. If you're ever in Savannah ga, there's a newish food truck, SlowFire bbq, think they were in Texas bbq magazine or something but they have to be the best in GA, and if you're in Savannah and need a 3rd shooter, let me know lmao
Ant, Wonderful job! These bbq story videos keep getting better! What a massive operation for a place that doesn’t even have a real brick and mortar home. Lots of interesting methods/ advice here: Lawry’s too salty, no tallow on the briskets, and make your own coals. I suppose with all the crummy charcoal out there this could be true. However, Jeolous Devil has definitely upped the game! Keep these coming! Oh no! So now you can rely on technology so you can go do errands! I will forever remember your old WSM brisket cook when you left and came back to find it needed your attention!😂
he blew me away with his brisket quality and technique. planning to do a bar a brisket technique vs dampf brisket when i get back from CA next month! no more kmart briskets i promise
Sounds great! Can’t wait to see the video! I just had a random conversation in which someone mentioned KMart and said it probably isn’t around anymore. I quickly replied that there are still 3 in the US in NY, NJ, and Florida. The people around asked me how I knew that. I said long story, since explaining Jirby’s review of your video of his pit would have taken too long! The impact of your videos extends far beyond bbq!😂
I love the guys at Dampff! Killer bbq! I hope you get around to Jon G's here in NC as well, he's only open one day a week but the bbq is among the best from Texas!
hahaha i think this is the longest video on my channel! ill have a more "youtubey" video out covering the wholehog cook in way more depth around the second week of january!
Not only totally enjoyable to watch because hey….bbq….but dang if you told me this was done by PBS or NatGeo I would absolutely believe it. Great story telling thru incredible editing and video production quality.

I’m in their parking lot now. I’ll let you know
Whole hog BBQ is Carolina, not Texas style
"Cary" not "Carey"

They do it right, fr. Their brisket is the best I've had outside of TX. They could easily be in TM top 50 if they were in TX
Food looks amazing! Definitely on a short list of places for me to visit.
Would love to have ya brother!
You're killing it Ant! Make those videos go 30m long so we can not only make your trip worth but also help by watching some more ads 😎
Awseome videos Ant. Seeing all these different bbq joints are awesomeness and inspiring
Another phenomenal doc! You are killing it Ant! Keep it up!
thank you!

Watching from over in Scotland class video mate really well put together and the food looks incredible. Thanks for putting it out there
Thanks for watching!
Loved this video! Thank you for giving us a peak into another great bbq place.
Just knocking the cover off the ball lately with the bbq docs. Another great one.
I want to drive across the state and have some of that BBQ. Awesome documentary! Great job Ant!
I live only 15 minutes away, but I can assure you your drive would be worth it. It's the equal to any BBQ you'll find in Central Texas.
I love this video series. Amazing work Ant!
that chicago italian beef brisket thing they got going on looks amazing
My mouth is watering so. All the best with lots of love from Moe town. In Australia.
Amazing quality on these videos. Truly have a gift. I look forward to these!
I heard about the Centex pits about 3 years ago and have been surprised to not see more places using them.
They’re in quite like 10-15 of the Texas Monthly Top 50 spots, plus a lot of cool spots across the country like Bark in NYC. They only build two smokers a month because Michael (the owner) is all about the quality and not volume. I’ve seen they’re moving into a bigger shop to try to start scaling up more.
They aren’t cheap
Appreciate the great content, also nice touch with the streets of rage BGM.

Ive seen you grow from literally 200 followers to this. Congrats brother -- excited to keep watching this thing grow
Loved the Bible verse
Having recently moved from the Triangle, absolutely miss the BBQ scene. Some of my favorite I've ever had.
hey im really glad he called out st louis. love my city.
Seriously well produced videos man. And so respectfully edited . Top notch brother
I watch a lot of food channels on here . Yours showed up in my feet I'm already hooked, binge-watching and subscribed. Thank you!
Man, keep making videos like these and we’ll keep watching. Great job!
love these guys! Glad your are introducing us to other BBQ places
happy to do it :) love highlighting epic people and food
Great video. Great bunch of guys. Wish you would have called when you were here. Well done, Ant.
Ty for this video. I live nearby and didn't know they existed. We have very mediocre BBQ overall and this excites me. Can't wait to make the trip.

@@AntsBBQCookout Incredible. We love to see it, brother!
You guys are a class act!! Beautiful looking BBQ & other menu items (burgers!!).
You just can't really beat white oak for tenderness, it just does something to the meat. Grill some steaks over white oak in a fire place and they will be fork tender and juicy.
When you wrap your brisket in foil how long do you let it set before you cut it
Always enjoy your videos Ant . Could you do one on John Lewis in SC? Ever since he moved from Texas, we hardly hear about him anymore.
I was thinking about going there today actually
I promise you. Next year I’m going to travel to these cities to get me some bbq. I’m from Detroit and I try to cook Texas style bbq.
Another well done video.
Very cinematic.
Kudos.
JT
For the algorithms bay bay!!!!
You do a great job Ant, definitely need to try Dampfs when I’m in the area. Love they are salt concious
These videos are a piece of art
great work again brother
Born in Tarboro nc right here. All my family from Dunn,benson,buies creek,lillington,Angier.
One of the best bbq videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks! ❤
i appreciate that!

The owner Terren is a good friend of my mine! I personally recommend he go check out slow fire!
Awww, you guys!!!! 🥰🫶
You knocked it out of the park again Ant! I was thinking you do all this work for 2 trays of BBQ! Definitely worth it!
ROAD TRIP!!! 🙌🏾
Dog i damn near fell over when he hit those pork steaks with the sauce
About to stop there and get some pulled turkey and brisket.
Ant been releasing bangers lately 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Consistency is the hardest part of making true bbq. Getting everything the same day in and day out.
BBQ STORY IS AWESOME
Dampf is the best bbq in NC hands down. More importantly, they are even better people.
You must not be from NC
Really well done video.... ❤️ Dampf bbq, one of the best!
crazy good food there!
Awesome video!
That burn barrel is very unique, very cool
Bbq plus Jesus. Just beautiful.
Ahh FINALLy ONE NEAR ME I CANT WAIT TO GO!!!!
Can’t wait to have ya brother!
Ant,
Wonderful job! These bbq story videos keep getting better! What a massive operation for a place that doesn’t even have a real brick and mortar home. Lots of interesting methods/ advice here: Lawry’s too salty, no tallow on the briskets, and make your own coals. I suppose with all the crummy charcoal out there this could be true. However, Jeolous Devil has definitely upped the game!
Keep these coming!
Oh no! So now you can rely on technology so you can go do errands! I will forever remember your old WSM brisket cook when you left and came back to find it needed your attention!😂
he blew me away with his brisket quality and technique. planning to do a bar a brisket technique vs dampf brisket when i get back from CA next month! no more kmart briskets i promise

Love it, Ant. Keep 'em coming!
I love the guys at Dampff! Killer bbq! I hope you get around to Jon G's here in NC as well, he's only open one day a week but the bbq is among the best from Texas!
Nick told me to go on the way back, but i didnt have time! Next time for sure!
No way this videos was this short.!!!
The ending was making me feel like there was more still to come.!!!!😂
hahaha i think this is the longest video on my channel! ill have a more "youtubey" video out covering the wholehog cook in way more depth around the second week of january!
How I'm just hearing about them and get wood from city!!
Been waiting for this video. I want to go to NC just to try their bbq.
Ant I need you to come to Georgia and checkout Sweet Auburn Bbq in McDonough, Ga you would love the owner and food.
The Bean Queen 😏🤫😅
On behalf of Texas, Bluegrass music is just fine to be playing at a BBQ joint.
Brilliant!!!!
Not only totally enjoyable to watch because hey….bbq….but dang if you told me this was done by PBS or NatGeo I would absolutely believe it. Great story telling thru incredible editing and video production quality.
Killin it with these!!! 🔥🔥🔥
damn love show amzing bbq all amzing people and chef
Crushing the content, as always, Ant!
thank you!
Lovely
These mini docs are the best
love the video and have just subscribed 😁
try Jon g's in Peachland, NC
How can you not leave a like! Great video as always!!
very good I like
The best BBQ in NC hands down.
Not from NC?
Showing my age here but, Love the streets of rage music lol
Saying you stack up with bbq joints in Texas is a bold statement.
He's not lying. The BBQ is top tier. He may be top two for me in the area
@@MaLAaY1San Will have to try it. Thought Carolina was whole hog…we bbq cows.
Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world.
Texas has the best BBQ hands down 🤠
💯💯 i will say whole hog goes CRAZY though
Is it any good
Great video
thank you!
Description misspelled the name of the city it's Cary
Ant you need a show on food network or some food ch. Ants Bbq story. And travel the USA.
lol appreciate it!
Man I’m so sad I missed out on the whole hog because everything else was so Dampf Good!!
Same here brother!! Next time!! The hog came out fantastic
i wish you could have been there to capture it too, bro
not first but 2,0361th!!! always love the video Ant! can't wait to finish this video. So happy you've been doing this series.
hahaha not that many, but thanks! hope you enjoy :)
