Gold Mine Find!! So glad you found it on the hard drive 😁👍👍. Hey, did you happen to get the make & model of his knife sharpener? I have a vitronox slicing knife that needs some attention 😢. Thanks again for the Awesome Video & sharing with us BBQ Nerds
I loved following along with this video, and I was defining where to cut with the same wording and decisions as the presenter. I learned a couple new things, but it's great to know that I'm at least "in the ballpark", but I've also learned a couple new details. Appreciated.
Sorry but I think you lose a lot of newer viewers with the 5:50 minute intro. I’m glad I persisted to watch but many probably wouldn’t.
This was very helpful!! Thank you, for putting more info than just a chopped video with cheesy ass music!!! Cheers!!
Great Content as always..
Sorry. You got a lot to learn about trimming brisket. Watch Chicken Fried, Rio Grande Smoke, lot of others.
Cooper with Bar A posted their own detailed video on Brisket Trimming about a month ago…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOmzCfrzlJs
I know a lot of people are telling you that you do the best videos about bbq let me tell you they are absolutely right. Thank you so much for taking the time and teaching us who want to do it the best way possible. You are an Awesome Brother .
Excellent trim video! Thanks for sharing.
Marcus what a gem you found. Surprised you forgot about it. Fyi my one regret i had when i went to Bar A is i turned off my mic and i was taking pics and clips of the pit room and Alec was there and he did a tour with me. Ugh i wish i recorded that conversation.
Cant wait to smoke my next brisket
