Thanks Ryan! This is by far my favorite video of the over 200 I've made for the channel so far!

This is by far the best video you have ever made. It's because BBQ is more than just a story about food. It's a story about the experience of making and sharing BBQ, and of the hardworking people who do it for a living. You nailed it. You captured the story of a wonderful family who took the lessons they learned from the gridiron to the pit iron and are now winning on the competitive field of Texas BBQ. They showed you their entire playbook because they care about the future of BBQ and are paying it forward. To the Abercrombie family, thank you for showcasing the best of small-town America. And when the next Texas Top 50 list comes out, I hope you rock the BBQ world.

Thanks for the kind words. Really. I think you’ve captured this family’s spirit - and that of most of the bbq world we are so lucky to be a part of.

I love this. No secrets, just wham bam this is how we season and smoke. I have learned so much on my journey to be a backyard pitmaster. Matt Pittman and Jirby from Goldees have really helped me a lot get better and better and this guy is no different. Hope he has tons of success.

You're spot on, Justin - it's the generosity of guys like Cooper, Matt and Jonny (and if you watch my other I Got Schooled videos Barrett Black, Harry Soo, Winnie Yee, James Mack and more) that make the BBQ community so special.

I didn't see the brand of charcoal - but I guarantee that's not a problem AT ALL in a smoker that big - the real smoke doesn't start until the wood is on that coal is just producing heat.

David, I am wondering how efficient is this Kamado, or really any of the other "big name" ceramic kamados vs. one of the better insulated pellet grills or even a metal kamado like the Weber Summit? Is it more or less expensive to fuel this vs. wood pellets? I'm just over it with my CharBroil Kettleman, so looking to add a different charcoal option to my Members Mark pellet grill...
