By far the most entertaining video I've seen probably ever. I'll be sure not to forget the probes when wrapping 😂😂😂
Franklin BBQ is notoriously expensive and overrated!
Waiting on a long ass endless cue for several hours just to eat some overpriced average brisket that isn't anything special simply isn't worth my time nor money!!
Does the no oil rule apply to smoking other meats? In the prior videos (from 10 years ago), he uses an olive oil base on ribs.
This video needed a slicing segment so we could see how it turned out!
When he started smearing on all that butter, I muttered "Jesus…" and he immediately said "Yes, I know…"
The artist at work, no one even comes close to his absolute mastery of the offset cooker. Look at the results, to perfection. He is, and will remain the man. Great vid. Thanks
I was unable to see inside your small smoker , can I get you to tell me where your grill grate is located in relation to the opening for the stack ( above , center, or below )
Would you not want the breast to get to 165 for safe internal temp? or is the idea that it gets there when resting?
I find it really really interesting that Aaron says avoid fat here due to the smoke profile not going well with added fat on the skin. I’ve heard of the “mayo” trick people say to use on Turkey to make the skin delicious but not a good idea when smoking? But why does fat not cause issues with brisket ? The fat cap is the most delicious part of brisket. Maybe just Turkey is too different ?
You are the man my brotha!!!
Just awsm Aaron, love new content! U are my Bbq gesus!
Where the hell were u for such a long time. Glad to see u again
What? No slices?
The man is back! Hey at 9:20 I'm no expert (weber kettle guy) but should you use another pair of gloves for the probing? Sorry if my question is dumb. Beautiful pit btw!
Jeez it looks like a Norman Rockwell turkey!!
He really is BBQ Jesús
How many pounds was that and was it a 3 hour cook
Thanks for inspiring me to get into smoked meats. Now I run a small online business serving smoked dishes. All thanks to your masterclass and youtube videos. As most have already said…the king is back. Sick of all these bbq youtubers spreading gimmicks and complex techniques for views
It is a Christmas Miracle! Franklin is back on YouTube!
@Aaron I was going to ask if you used salted or unsalted butter but I found an image of the butter blend that you're holding and it's Sun Glow European Butter Blend and the wrapper with green print is their unsalted version.
I've never seen the Sun Glow Brand where I live but at least I know you're using unsalted butter, I would imagine the butter will pick up some salt flavor from the salt on the turkey.
I like to soak the turkey in buttermilk for 12 hours then wash off all the buttermilk before smoking or roasting, I use an extra big zip top bag and a half gallon of buttermilk then put it in a cooler with ice breast side down.
It's good to see you making videos again, I hope you keep making more.
We missed you Aaron! thanks for some new videos!
Oh snap! You're back!?
