-Pit Barrel Cooker Classic Package - 18.5 Inch Drum Smoker: amzn.to/3K8wjbT -Chiavetta's BBQ Marinade: amzn.to/3ThZspc It's so cool reading the comments about the salt potatoes! Pretty much get them with any chicken BBQ you will ever go to here in NY. Here is a tid bit I barrowed from the internet: What is a Salt Potato? The origin of salt potatoes can be traced to the 19th century in the Syracuse, NY area where Irish immigrants working in salt mines prepared the dish on their lunch break. Throughout the Onondaga Lake region, miners would boil small, unpeeled potatoes in salinated brine that was mined from salt springs. In the cooking process, the salty water forms a crust on the potato’s skin and seals it which helps to prevent salt potatoes from tasting waterlogged as ordinary boiled potatoes sometimes do. As a result, salt potatoes have a unique texture that is similar to that of a baked potato. In the decades following their inception, salt potatoes became a regional dish of Central New York and - in more recent years - they are typically served in the summer when young potatoes are first harvested. Salt potatoes are currently a staple food at fairs and barbecues throughout the Central New York region.

Never heard of salt potatoes, my parents grew up in Pittsburgh, and now live in NJ. Gonna give them a try, my heart Dr is gonna be pissed!

I came for the car repair videos and I stayed for the cooking videos! I enjoy every last bit of content you put out there! Thank you for sharing your life a bit with us!

You got it all in the vid. Beer, dogs, BBQ, and family. God Bless you.

NY, they salt their potatoes and salt their cars. Never heard of salt potatoes, will have to try them.

They're fantastic. I don't find them overly salty, especially if you keep the skins intact. They're a "new" potato, so smaller and more tender. Boiled with butter topping is delicious, as shown.

It's a Syracuse thing. Syracuse used to be the country's largest salt producer due to the salt springs that were there around Onondaga Lake. Salt was highly prized in the days before refrigeration to cure and store meats. Grocery stores there sell the potatoes and salt packets together. A good heaping cup of coarse kosher salt per 2 pounds of small white new potatoes is about the ratio you need. You know the ratio is right when they come to a boil and the potatoes want to float. They will leave salt stains on your pot and your stove top. Cook them until they're soft inside. I like to use a toothpick and dip them into melted butter.

Thanks for letting us into your home/family time. Everything looks delicious 😋

Absolutely love the cooking sideshows. 🤘🏻 This has got to be the best channel on KZread. Love from Kentucky ❤️🤍💙

Eric's second channel is a hidden gem for sure!

Just remember folks, If Eric O can do it, so can you, especially after he gives you the recipe! I'm gonna try the marinade and salt potatoes here this weekend

Diggin’ the recent uploads. Keep ‘em coming!

When Chef Eric gets that Pit Barrel fired up it looks like he could feed most of Avoca! The 1st video with pork....I had just finished my dinner and my mouth started watering and my stomach started growling! 2nd video...chicken, well, repeat! I had just finished eating and now I'm hungry again. Plus we were having a nice thunderstorm. Coincidences? Great looking salad Mrs. O.!

That`s the way it is when you fire up the smoker. I`ve had both my pellet smokers, gas grill, and flat top griddle fired up in one day.

Rule of firing up the smoker,if your gonna fire it up,it takes fuel,so make it worth while,your not gonna fire it up and do 1 rack,or one butt! Might as well load it up!

Really digging the second channel reboot! Thanks for sharing this stuff with us, I've been getting into more "creative" foods and ways to cook them lately so this is right up my alley and awesome 👍

Eric O. and Mrs. O. - the best couple on KZread!

Love the ambient sound complete with birds.....

So funny. We have a GSD and a Husky too. They are just like yours. The Husky lounges around and the Shepherd wants to play constantly.

Made all three for lunch today. Unique salad. Can't go wrong with potato and salt! Two thumbs up!

Down in North Carolina here and I’ve never heard of salt potatoes here. With enough butter anything is Devine. North Carolina is very big on vinegar barbecue sauces so you get a great endorsement from here.

I have lived in Oregon my whole life and never heard of salt potato's ? Sound good.

My mom used to do salt pototoes every sunday wish she was still here she passed away in 2018 a week of thanksgiving looks like i am planning a trip to upper new york to Chef Erics house for dinner

Mr. O. You are a lucky man. Mrs. O is a keeper! Try a raspberry vinaigrette in that salad. It will make that salad pop!

I literaly set my drums put the food on, set my vents and go riding for 4-6 hrs come home and my butts or whatever is done when I get home. No digotals. I'm so happy to see you discovered these type of cookers. Because I despise easy bake pellet poopers. Expensive, high maintenance. And every single one I've ever been forced to use cramps out screws up and have to baby sit the damn thing Ugly drums never give me an issue. But I have many years of practice with them. And yes more food slows the cooking, I'm a fan of hot smoking it comes out better better bark on the meats and come out just as tender due to the fact it's a sealed system. Un like easy bake ovens that move a ton of air. If your after a crispier skin. Par boil or steam, render the fat out the skin. The other trick is the refrigerator overnight uncovered. Refrigerators pull moisture. Trust me try it. It works. And come on I to the ugly drum smoker groups on fake book.

Never heard of salt potatoes in the Midwest you guys are family culinary artists I'm hungry now dang it! Lol great video thanks for sharing,.

Always nice to see Mrs. O.

Cornell chicken, Spiedies, salt potatoes !! Upstate NY for the win !

My wife grew up in New York and I am from Idaho needless to say we have salt potatoes a lot and I love them.

I was starving 5 minutes in. It all looks so good. Love the dogs.

I've only seen salt potatoes up near Binghamton when I worked there years ago on helicopters for Sikorsky. Love Pit Barrel chicken. It's the best! Great looking dinner y'all!

Love the classic chicken thighs. Underrated bbq meat. Cooks up fantastic and are super cost effective. It takes a little time to prep/ trim em, but well worth it. Also… from Michigan. Never heard of salt potatoes. Clearly gotta try them now.

All the fancy dishes (salad looks yummy, the chicken look delicious) you did a fantastic job Eric! Thanks Mrs “O” for making the salad. Also in California southern or northern no salted potatoes 🥔. This is the first time I heard of this.

IT DOES NOT MATTER ITS JUST FUN WATCHING YOU COOK

I absolutely love these pit barrel videos Eric and Vanessa! Keep them coming! Cheers from Wisconsin!

Moved here from Utah 6 years ago. We live in the Cortland area just south of Syracuse. It was the first time we ever had salt potatoes. Good eats! The chicken looks fantastic.

I never heard of Salt potatoes before and i was born and raised in Connecticut. I live down south now and i haven't heard of them down here either. First time watching Eric O's other channel and it was pretty dang awesome. I do love chicken especially when it's been marinade in a secret sauce.

great video... now i'm hungry. My wife and I enjoy cooking together. Its nice to see both of you enjoying your day together.

From around Oswego & Watertown, Only ever had them in Upstate NY, Moved all around the US and people have never heard of them. We would stock up when visiting and make it for friends and they loved them.

No Salt Potato’s in NJ where we grew up or NC where we’ve lived for the past 20 plus years. My wife just got me a pit barrel for Christmas, so I appreciate these videos!

Country life in NY, love it.

SMOKIN HOT BABY!!! got another winner there for you and the wife. keep up the great work

Very nice! Thank you for taking us along!

Great all American family. Car repairs, grilling, archery, shooting, and enjoying a brew. Just enjoying life, don't get any better than this folks. Lived in Michigan my whole life, never heard of a salt potato. Shows how a certain area can have something they enjoy, that no one else even knows about.

Never heard of salt potatoes, but will definitely try them now, as well as the salad

Love these cooking videos with you and Mrs .O

My go-to salad is spinach, dried cranberries, pecans, and Newman’s honey balsamic. Tasty.

All that cooking says you love your family!

I love watching you and your wife doing everything together it’s great

Mrs.O is pretty slick with that carving knife!

Never heard of salt potatoes but it sounds like how I eat them anyway 🤣 I'm from Illinois about 300 miles south of Chicago I love potatoes with salt pepper and lots of butter love the video

Love to your family! I recently found your channel so I've got some catching up to do but so far I've enjoyed all of your content, both SMA and after hours. I can't afford one of those pit barrels but I do have a good steel barrel or two laying around, may try to make one... Thank you so much for taking the time to share your life and knowledge with us through these videos.

Thanks for the cooking videos Mr and Mrs O

Love these videos too. Thanks for sharing this with us. Thank Mrs. O too. She adds just that much more to the videos.

California here, any chef worth his salt will tell you that a pinch of salt on everything is the way to go, even on ice cream, potatoes, mushrooms,veggies.. definitely boil pasta in salty water. Butter won’t kill you, anything cooked with bones can stay on fire a little longer, boneless meat will get away from you . I like the barrel cooker. Here in Cali we eat spring salads with fruit and avocado quite a bit. California cuisine….. check it out. Nice couple.

Your are the PITMASTER Eric!! That Chicken looks good and crispy too!!

Glad to see you revived this channel Mr. O, learning some cooking ideas to throw at my misses.

Love these cooking videos.

So nice to see more content with Mrs. O.

Wow, now I can get my cooking and car repair knowledge from the same source.

And... Just like that one of the finest cooling channels is born Yummy!

LOVE the grilling and cooking vids as of late Eric and Mrs. O!!! Nice change up! I think at this point I would watch anything you put on your channel. Love them all.

Greetings from Syracuse. Salt potatoes a summertime favorite.

Born & raised in KY. 50 years old. Never heard of salt potatoes. Gonna try them now for sure though!

I have never heard of or had salt potatoes. Down here in Arizona, twice baked potatoes is the bomb. Thank you for allowing me into your home and sharing the afternoon with me.

Tried this recipe last summer to break in my new smoker! Ended up making some pulled chicken sandwiches. They were amazing! Thanks Eric!

Mr O, that looks amazing, I’m gonna give that recipe a try this wkn, thanks for sharing.

Oh lucky man ' takes care a the homestead, with beautiful house with sears siding , and nice wife who hangs out with him .

Chicken looks super great, I can almost smell it here in Minnesota. I'm still laughing my A** off when I heard you talking about the "salmonella sauce" and saw you mopping it over the top of the chicken 🐔 but I agree with Mrs O that raw chicken is a salmonella issue when it's raw but since you kept cooking it in the pit after putting it over the chicken again it's safe, but I'd sure as heck throw that little chicken "Mopper Topper" thingy in the Neighbors garbage. I'm going to make that "Salmonella Salad" it looks really good. Another fun video, Thanks for taking us along 🙏🐔🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️

Love this chicken, my family has had a VERY similar recipe for decades.

These are really good videos. Very interesting Eric. A big thanks to you and the Mrs. for making such good content.

This was a nice change to see you folk in a different setting, from the usual work-a-day routine.I got a kick out of Mrs.O saying even if your sick of it your eating this until its done. I noticed your dogs and their awesome pets and I will say the salad looks very good and I will try making it myself, thanks for the tips also.

Lived in Maryland 55 years, West Virginia 13 years now Holland Michigan ...NEVER heard of salt potatoes.. an I love to cook. Professional Firefighter for 30 years.

And he writes.... Definitely 1 of my 2 favorite salads that I actually eat. Going to try those potatoes this weekend!! Love always, Adam

Didn’t know there was a second channel but I do enjoy it. I usually start my chimney with a wad of paper towels, can also add oil on them for an extended burn. Works if you run out of tumbleweeds. Also, skin side up will render out some of the fat first so it doesn’t flare as bad when you flip it if doing normal grilling vs skin side down first.

I like this cooking with Eric O. Its nice seeing the O's outside of the shop. Been watching for a long time. Love your videos Eric.

Can't believe I just watched Eric cook chicken for a half hour.. ;) Eric, you're the embodiment of what many of us wish we were and how our country should be. Keep it up Sir.

Never heard of the salt potatoes, Chicago area here. Loved the pit barrel videos, please keep em coming. It all looked delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Luving the videos Eric, teaching people how to fix cars & fix dinner

I never knew this channel existed I am old lol, omgoodness Eric O. can cook too!!?? Never watched a Pit Barrel in action, that's cool. I think I would have to pass on the Salt Potatoes my BP would probably be sky high, lol, beautiful family stay blessed 🙋🏾

They smell great. Everything looks good

Born and Raised in San Antonio, Texas and salt potatoes are new to me. Sounds delicious. Classic yard bird with skin on is super delicious when qued up!!!!

First thing I noticed was your hat. I love that place! It's only a few miles from where I work. My dad used to make a recipe almost the same as yours and put it in a garden sprayer to use on big racks of chicken at our annual Lyon's Club chicken BBQ. When I was a young pup, it was my job to mix big batches of that and carry it out to him and the other men at the pit to refill the sprayers. This brings back fond memories!

This was great ! Eric & Mrs. O thanks for inviting me along . I got my wife to watch too. Ed

Looks really good 👍 yard bird always been my favorite 😍

I had hit or miss luck with my pit barrel. It's been sitting for 2 years under its cover because of that luck. Glad to see yours working for you.

This was awesome! My favorite duo on KZread!

We’re from South-West PA and we were introduced to “salt taters” when we visited Empire Farm days near Seneca Falls. We look forward to them each year when we visit the finger lakes area. You all know how to take simple spuds to the next level! Enough butter and salt in the dish to raise your blood pressure, but darn, it’s good eatin’! Chicken looks awesome! I’ll need to try your recipe.

Had to turn on notifications for this channel. Watching BBQ while eating BBQ.

Eric O. That chicken looked good buddy tell Mrs O. The salad looked awesome appreciate you guy's

chicken looks fantastic!! that sauce is just about what we used to use on chicken haves, my favorite!! we also had the sauce in a spray bottle and would spray them while cooking ocasionly

Im realy enjoying these cooking videos.

Those chicken thighs look great. My North Carolinian born grandfather would have approved of the vinegar based marinade, he used to have an entire back porch dedicated to smoking and made a great vinegar based BBQ sauce. I have never heard of salt potatoes, I'm going to try them.

You two are very good in these personal life vlogs. Keep em coming. Eric, the sincerity you demonstrate with grilling is novel, I’m waiting for the “BAM”... cheers..Russ

I do appreciate that a guy who can't smell has his own cooking channel! Subscribed!

Wow that looks great. Never heard of the salt potato.. But definitely looks worth trying! Thanks for sharing 👍

I’m from North Carolina and we don’t have the salt potatoes. However I have heard of them. A coworker from Syracuse NY like you mentioned was telling me about them once. I really like these videos as much as the shop videos in fact.

I'm in central illinois and I have never heard of a salt potatoe, wife called her dad in Pennsylvania and they were all about the salt potatoe lol, love the cooking vids, and farm vids!!!

I'm loving the channel reboot, Eric O. We're going to try that marinade/mop sauce recipe very soon! Seems to me like a Carolina mop sauce modified for chicken -- genius! +1 Like

Dang Mr O I am now hungry I guess I know what I am cooking this weekend. Nice recipe thanks for posting.

Really enjoying watching this channel!

Eric O. Is the man! I'm enjoying the vlog style videos

Thanks for the video Eric O. Love this channel as much as the Southmain Auto.👊
