Klose Engineering David Klose in Houston Tx best bbq pits
24:09 How? I watched a PBS video.
My ears were ringing from watching him cut that tank. PSA for PBS: Wear hearing protection.
He's a better natural presenter than 90% of the professionals
Yeah, that's one fine looking barbecue pit.
WHY DOESN'T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT?!
Aaron is the master of barbecue!!!!!!
Aaron you need a plasma cutter! They aren't too expensive. I might buy you one!!!
The wallet controls my level of bbq equipment. For the money you can't beat a WSM,
it bothered me greatly seeing this guy mark down his measurement right after he moved the ruler about three millimeters around
ngl as much hype as smittys had i was kind of disappointed. David's FTW Pantego.
He’s a heck of a pit master but I know people who have bought his pit and say it’s the worst they’ve ever owned and dumped them
I don't get the 'we don't use thermometers' pride from some cooks. I used to do the same until I realized that there is literally NO reason not to use one. Anyone's cooking will only get better and more consistent if you use a thermometer.
Can't understand. Archaic Imperial measurement system obsolete. Only America and two third world countries still use the Imperial system. America is kinda weird. Pardoning Turkeys, but eating them. ???
nice badass vid 🤙
why are you guys pretending that the tank has just been sitting out in the woods and not just placed there for the video?
Never would have thought this to be true but kettle style is my friend for long cooks granted allot of attention needed.
It would be a pleasure to hang out with Arron for a day…he puts the cool in "COOL CAT". 🍻
Whats a "COOKER"?????
I think that was genius the way you got that sharpie marker.
You did good guy.
Glad you have redeemed and risen above.
Your fck greedy to no end now.
Your $5k Oklahoma Joe's preclude your coming demise.
Jesus will bend your knee
Seen this guy in the movie chef! Great movie
