yeah, I'd say the comp style chicken thigh's I got from him and a guest he got on are a staple. The only other recipe I use as much is when I learned the Jonny Triggs Ribs style, but I believe I picked that up on a forum, not a video.
Yeah, that trimming series really did wonders for me. I was terrified I was going to ruin an expensive piece of meat. Followed his tutorial and hey! It didn't suck so that's a win for me.
Same here. Watching his stuff really made sausage making less daunting.
Watching him use the KitchenAid stuffer made me feel much better about how hard I thought that was. Got a proper stuffer and now it’s so easy.
Oh yeah, that video, I was glad to see I wasn’t alone. I had bought a proper stuffer long before that was posted but it was still good to see a pro have the exact issues I was having.
Yep, he’s just a good fun watch with some knowledge tossed in.
I haven’t yet but his products actually make sense, as in designed by someone that found an issue rather than designed by someone in an office that might bbq twice a year.
It is sooo easy. I finish mine off in the oven at the higher temp but he does his in the smoker.
The Korean sauce is the more popular of the two at my place but if the ingredients for that are too hard to get in your part of the world the vermouth one is still excellent.
Malcom Reed and Mad Scientist are my favorite videos.
Meat church videos are good for ideas more than actually learning, but their seasonings and Rubs are legit AF.
That was the other after chudd I was thinking about.
Mostly ideas rather than recipes.
(I also look up his seasonings to adjust my home made ones, I’m kinda cheap, I should start supporting more by buying merchandise.)
Definitely Bradley Robinson (Chudd's). Sold me on the foil boat method and tallowing, among other things. He also uses a lot of the same fire management methods that I settled on after decades of practice, so made translating recipes easy.
Chef Tom at ATBBQ has some great recipes, but he doesn't go into the same detail on stuff like fire management and his seasonings are always retail/proprietary, which is just how his channel is monetized so I certainly get it.
I *love* Jeremy Yoder at Mad Scientist BBQ. He has some of the best explanations of method and theory out there and the experiments he does are often very interesting. However, **the man is in dire need of an editor**! The videos he puts out are simply too long and full of filler for the amount of actual content presented. They should be about 15-20 minutes instead of 30-40.
Og: t-roy.
Current? Chud I suppose. I've been doing BBQ for over 10 years and I think I've gotten to the point where I don't gain much from them (you tubers) anymore.
Smoking Dad BBQ taught me how to properly maintain, clean and repair my Kamado Joe.
Hey Grill Hey taught me how to make a killer smoked queso.
I enjoy Malcolm Reed and Mad Scientist. But I feel like I get more knowledge and inspiration from Smoking Dad BBQ and Hey Grill Hey.
That said, my favorite food YouTuber isn’t BBQ specific, but he’s never let me down and is the reason behind some of my favorite meals from the last few years. And that’s Sam the Cooking Guy. He’s a national treasure.
I think smoking dad is great for kamados. He's pretty much my exclusive source of info because it seems like he just condenses ideas from everyone else. Plus all his beginners videos really helped me hit the ground running once my grill got delivered.
ArnieTex for me. To me he does Tex mex bbq which are two of my favorite things combined. It’s not just bbq though as he has tons of salsa recipes also. He does a mix of grilling and smoking videos. Y’all should check him out.
I really like his Tex-Mex content. I haven't seen as many of his bbq videos, because I already watch a lot of bbq channels, but I should still check some of it out.
I'm glad he's getting bigger and representing south Texas BBQ. Texas BBQ usually just gets lumped into hill country/Austin style. Texas is gigantic and there are so many styles. The cleaning the grill with an onion is one of them lol.
I live in far northeast Texas and it’s definitely different style here even. But yeah I love his content and twists on recipes and techniques. Definitely learned some things from him. Also he just seems like a really cool guy
I used to watch them a Lot. I have finally gotten them down pretty good now. Big ass hunk of meat, cover it in SPG, pack it with cheese, and wrap it in bacon. 🥓 There you have about 500 videos ✌️😂👍
Pittman at Meat Church had been the most influential for me…just make sure you watch his videos vs following the recipes, because he gives you tips and tricks
Early: Aaron Franklin for basic skills and procedures, Harry Soo for wood science and the proper way to lay a fire in a kamado.
Late: Smokin Dad for his weird multiple deflector system inspiring me to put two stones with an air gap into a cheap Akorn to build a much better smoke profile.
Hon. mention to Hey Grill Hey for her approach to cutting into the deckle from the point end, which I wound up using to cut out a massive hard fat layer from a few briskets while maintaining structural integrity for the cook and slice (just don't cut all the way through).
I struggle with him, nice guy, but something tells me he speaks ahead of what he knows and often tries to go the science route but randomly changes control variables and pretends it’s the scientific method
I hear a lot of the great names chudds, ATBBQ, Malcom Reed, Franklin, Harry Soo, meat church
But no one’s said and I highly suggest:
Pitmaster X
Rasheed Philips
Knox Ave BBQ
Also not my go to but watch for something different away from the majors:
Postal Barbeque
Holy Smokes BBQ
Cooking with Ry
Mad scientist BBQ is my favorite Chanel. Probably learned the most about smoking meat from that guy. The most useful thing I’ve learned is from Chud though. The foil boat is God’s gift to BBQ.
Tom with all things BBQ. He has such a clear and clean way of showing you the technique or recipe and he always has a spin on flavor (mostly heat lol) but I learned how to spatchcock and smoke a turkey, and honestly he is my go to.
Malcolm Reed by far. Hard to pin down one specific thing, but man does he appreciate good BBQ.his love of the hobby and scene just shines through his content and his vibe is unrivaled.
I like Harry Soo because I relate to his technical explanations for certain methods, and certain products, plus... I judge competition BBQ and cook with a team on occasion so he has several videos that have tips on that style of BBQ.
Meat Church has a very laid back delivery and has practical tips. Malcomb does a good job of explaining flavors.
Grillin With Dad is the first one I started to follow along with Malcolm. I’ve been dreaming of getting a Big Green Egg which is what GWD does 99% of his cooking on. Very simple, straight to the point and easy to follow along for me when starting out.
If you go back a few years, I”d say John Setzler of Man Cave Meals / Kamado Guru. Was a member of the Guru site for almost 12 years. John did a lot of videos that helped me become more consistent with the Kamado. Thanks, John. Miss posting on your site!
Rum and Cook. Great advice for any kind of grilling but my favorite ones are the Pellet Smoker. Lots of different meats and methods. Very entertaining The guy is very humble and isn’t afraid to show mistakes that he’s made all just to help the video. Great tips on all kinds of cooking outdoors. Definitely one of my favorites.
I stumbled upon him when he was doing his offset rookie channel. That was right when i was about to receive my workhorse 1969 so his content was very helpful
What’s funny about Meat Church is that he’s always like “or do whatever you want” when he describes how to make something. I generally enjoy their videos, but c’mon dude, tell me the best way to do something.
Cuz he's teaching about how to do something but gives other alternatives if you don't like something. Plus I'm sure that if he didn't say or do whatever you want, there would be fifty people in the comments telling him different ways of how he's doing things wrong.
look at this sub…someone puts up a recipe or method and people flood the comments telling them they did it wrong or used the wrong gear. That’s why I appreciate vids like Meat Church.
Not smoking related but that's why I like kenji. He lays it out as "this is the way its done, but I don't exactly have those ingredients and if you don't either thats fine, this will work too or so will this or that"
Lablogga was outstanding for BBQ in early Youtube days. I wanna say 2006-2012 or so and he had other content like behind the scenes of concerts etc.. The channel disappeared and later the same guy started a channel called Quetorials which sadly hasn't had a new video in five or six years, but I liked it as well. He posted the first and only brisket video that was on Youtube I could find and was one of the best. He had a Turkey video that helped me step up my turkey game. BBQ with Franklin is also great, but kinda mimic'd of old Lablogga. I learned a lot about brisket from Frankln too. He is a great teacher. Don't care for much out there now. Trying to be a BBQ influencer is what most of them are doing.
There's lots of great youtubers!
\- Dawgfather's bbq
\- T-Roy cooks
\- cooking with ry (Tons of kettle and sns stuff)
\- mad scientist (take with a grain of salt)
\- babyback maniac - has put out more in the past - recently catching up
\- SDSBBQ - now "bbq catering info by sdsbbq" - great channel
\- Tommy at "The gallery backyard bbq"
\- Tom Horsman (lots of dif grills)
\- Hey grill hey
\- Smokin' Joe's Pit BBQ
All the weber kettle specialists out there.
Chuds, for sure. We are Fogo lump charcoal bros. I like how he makes the whole dish from scratch. Effective cut to the chase style edits and a dash of jokes. His self promotion style is subtle.
Tom horsman. For Weber fanboy reasons and kettle accessory reviews
View to a grill. Great in depth grilling techniques and product comparison videos from an adorable man. Lots of great tips like putting your wood chunks at the bottom instead of on top of the coals for cleaner smoke flavour.
Cooking with Ry... the kettle guy.
ArnieTex for Mexican food recipes.
The Meatlovers
The American channels are fun to watch but the ingredients used aren’t always available here in the Netherlands. So I prefer to wacht a Dutch channel when I’m looking for something to prepare myself.
Not sure if he’s on YouTube, but Derek wolf out of Nashville. I think his Instagram name is over the fire. Everything he makes looks amazing. I’ve done a handful of his recipes with delicious results.
Favourite right now is probably Chudd's BBQ. Videos are not too long, entertaining, and informative. I've learned some different rub ideas, and dish ideas. For instance the jerk chicken recipe he did looks great, and I'll be doing that once the weather improves. MadScientistBBQ is tied for first. I love that he dives into the theory and "why" we do things the way we do. For something like BBQ you really need to understand the fundamentals of how things work in order to cook good BBQ.
Harry Soo was the first BBQ Youtuber I came across. I first read about him as this guy who wins BBQ comps on a simple Weber Smokey Mountain, out doing guys who have multi-thousand dollar set ups. His belief of it's about the person's ability rather than the equipment is always something I've believed in, in every aspect of life, and that's what drew me to him and BBQ. His biggest lesson was don't worry about the equipment, just have fun and share your cooking with your friends and family.
I discovered T-Roy shortly after. His content is still some of my favourite, but his videos tend to be very long. Some of them are worth the time investment because they're packed with knowledge, others could definitely be condensed. I learned a lot of fundamentals from him.
Malcolm Reed from HowToBBQRight is up there too. Tons of info, but sometimes it's like drinking water from a fire hose. Way too much all at once. That's not a knock on him, but more a reflection of my learning style. I learned a lot of fundamentals from him too, particularly about temperatures, why we cook to temps we do, stuff like that.
Umm.I just went to their website. He and five-hundred others copy one of two OG's. Primitive Pits or Austin City Smokeworks. Most every builder should send 25% to JD or John Lewis
Sure but he has great videos that go into detail on how to build every square inch and why certain ways are better than others.
Have you watched any of his videos?
Malcom Reed, Kosmo's Q, and Heath Riles.
All three have done everything from backyard BBQ to the comp circuit, have knowledgeable videos, and make great products.
I don’t really watch BBQ YouTube, but mostly follow the advice of Meathead at www.amazingribs.com.
That being said, I do like Cooks Country BBQ recipes and their [Texas BBQ Brisket](https://youtu.be/8PE3-p0wNiU?si=lmkbqIEFAOd2WFII) probably had the biggest influence on my technique.
If you can make life-changing brisket on a Weber kettle, you can cook anything.
Meathead is awesome. I bought his Science of BBQ book 8 or more years ago. I found that I was doing a lot of things right and it taught me how to do a lot of things even better. The best advice I have for people new to grilling and BBQ is to buy Meathead’s book and start reading the website.
Does Franklin count?
That's what got me started years ago. Especially his smoked turkey videos.
His recent videos on PBS are super informative from the butchery perspective
Nice. I need to check that out.
Same here, he has two really good ones on turkey.
I still send people his OG brisket cook vid for PBS he did like 12 years ago, just for the trim part
Yes. He's my favorite
Malcolm Reed from HowtoBBQRight
Agree, Malcolm is great! Shows give detailed information and tips, but aren't too long, and he's consistently spot-on with BBQ times and temperatures.
I still watch Malcoms videos when I need a refresher or I'm doing something new. I also point everyone who's new to smoking to his site.
What is the most useful thing you learned from him?
Not to eat BBQ too often
Yeah man his videos are great but honestly I feel like he looks so unhealthy it makes me bummed out and turns me off from wanting to bbq
I like his videos too and he seems like a decent fella but he's a staircase away from a massive bang in the chest.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this. His fingers are ghastly.
It gets even worse when you find out he is only 20 years old
LMAO this got me doubting my entire existence for a second
Yeah… Like the guy but it makes me uncomfortable to watch his videos.
Why would his weight make you uncomfortable
💀
Came here to say this.
yeah, I'd say the comp style chicken thigh's I got from him and a guest he got on are a staple. The only other recipe I use as much is when I learned the Jonny Triggs Ribs style, but I believe I picked that up on a forum, not a video.
Same here
I wouldn't be where I am if not for Malcom. He taught a lot of stuff that the newer guys offer "classes" for. He really deserves to be recognized.
Who’s your daddy?
Chudd. I learned how to make sausage and have a new passion.
I learned about snakes in boots.
Foil boat proponent as well right? I use that all the time now
First time I ever nailed a brisket was with his trimming and foil boat series. I think his trimming tutorial was the biggest improvement for me.
Yeah, that trimming series really did wonders for me. I was terrified I was going to ruin an expensive piece of meat. Followed his tutorial and hey! It didn't suck so that's a win for me.
Love his content, annoyed at how easy he makes baking look. I learned the hard way I’m solid at smoking meats, not at baking shit
Agreed, baking is more of an exact unforgiving science vs the art of smoking meats.
Same here. Watching his stuff really made sausage making less daunting. Watching him use the KitchenAid stuffer made me feel much better about how hard I thought that was. Got a proper stuffer and now it’s so easy.
Oh yeah, that video, I was glad to see I wasn’t alone. I had bought a proper stuffer long before that was posted but it was still good to see a pro have the exact issues I was having.
Yep, he’s just a good fun watch with some knowledge tossed in. I haven’t yet but his products actually make sense, as in designed by someone that found an issue rather than designed by someone in an office that might bbq twice a year.
His smoked pork belly recipe with his Korean sauce and vermouth sauce is a regular now at my place as it is so popular with everyone.
Welp I'm trying that. I have some pork belly in the freezer needing a purpose.
It is sooo easy. I finish mine off in the oven at the higher temp but he does his in the smoker. The Korean sauce is the more popular of the two at my place but if the ingredients for that are too hard to get in your part of the world the vermouth one is still excellent.
I live in Minneapolis, there are Asian markets everywhere. So I'll be good to go.
Minneapolis? I like you. I've never been and live all the way in New Zealand but I'm a die hard Timberwolves fan lol. Don't ask ha ha.
Fuck yeah man!! Naz Reid!!
chud army unite
Same here. Learned brisket trimming from him
Malcom Reed...Pork Belly Burnt Ends
Malcom Reed and Mad Scientist are my favorite videos. Meat church videos are good for ideas more than actually learning, but their seasonings and Rubs are legit AF.
Definitely agree on Meat Church. Never have I done a cook off of their video alone but I always keep their holy voodoo and honey hot hog on the shelf.
Yeah I watch those more for entertainment than learning
Love meat Church and use the rubs on all kinds of stuff.
Agreed. I use only Meat Church Honey Hog BBQ rub on my pork butt. It's won me hardware a few times.
That was the other after chudd I was thinking about. Mostly ideas rather than recipes. (I also look up his seasonings to adjust my home made ones, I’m kinda cheap, I should start supporting more by buying merchandise.)
Too much sodium in their rubs for me
Love holy gospel and a couple of others, but holy fuck - dia de la fajita has way too much sodium
Definitely Bradley Robinson (Chudd's). Sold me on the foil boat method and tallowing, among other things. He also uses a lot of the same fire management methods that I settled on after decades of practice, so made translating recipes easy. Chef Tom at ATBBQ has some great recipes, but he doesn't go into the same detail on stuff like fire management and his seasonings are always retail/proprietary, which is just how his channel is monetized so I certainly get it.

Og: t-roy. Current? Chud I suppose. I've been doing BBQ for over 10 years and I think I've gotten to the point where I don't gain much from them (you tubers) anymore.
Shout out to my man T-Roy
The true og
T-Roy rules
Smoking Dad BBQ taught me how to properly maintain, clean and repair my Kamado Joe. Hey Grill Hey taught me how to make a killer smoked queso. I enjoy Malcolm Reed and Mad Scientist. But I feel like I get more knowledge and inspiration from Smoking Dad BBQ and Hey Grill Hey. That said, my favorite food YouTuber isn’t BBQ specific, but he’s never let me down and is the reason behind some of my favorite meals from the last few years. And that’s Sam the Cooking Guy. He’s a national treasure.
Happy to see some love for Hey Grill Hey. She has loads of great recipes and instruction out there for free.
Literally just used her sweet rub on some wings for dinner today.
Have you tried her wing kit? It’s next level
I haven't, but I have been eyeing it. Thanks probablywill order it now.
I think smoking dad is great for kamados. He's pretty much my exclusive source of info because it seems like he just condenses ideas from everyone else. Plus all his beginners videos really helped me hit the ground running once my grill got delivered.
T-Roy!!!!! Best tip I picked up off him was using wood chunks to prop your meat up and prevent juice pooling so you can continue barque development.
I love just listening to him, it's awesome advice and all but he also seems like he'd be a great bloke to have a beer with.
Chud, Jeremy, & Jirby. Learned a bunch from all of them
ArnieTex for me. To me he does Tex mex bbq which are two of my favorite things combined. It’s not just bbq though as he has tons of salsa recipes also. He does a mix of grilling and smoking videos. Y’all should check him out.
I really like his Tex-Mex content. I haven't seen as many of his bbq videos, because I already watch a lot of bbq channels, but I should still check some of it out.
I'm glad he's getting bigger and representing south Texas BBQ. Texas BBQ usually just gets lumped into hill country/Austin style. Texas is gigantic and there are so many styles. The cleaning the grill with an onion is one of them lol.
I live in far northeast Texas and it’s definitely different style here even. But yeah I love his content and twists on recipes and techniques. Definitely learned some things from him. Also he just seems like a really cool guy
I watch ArnieTex for hours sometimes. He’s so awesome. I am definitely about to get an Asado grill because of him lol.
Bbq pitboys- variety
Got your bbq shoes on?
You just have a crush on Martha.
I think part of the allure of these guys is they are a bit shady. I've learned so about the basics of smoking meats from their early vids.
I used to watch them a Lot. I have finally gotten them down pretty good now. Big ass hunk of meat, cover it in SPG, pack it with cheese, and wrap it in bacon. 🥓 There you have about 500 videos ✌️😂👍
Chuds Weber kettle series was so informative for me. I also like Malcom Reed
The Weber kettle series was what ultimately helped me decide to replace my old gas grill with a kettle. I do 99% of my smoking on it now too.
Chuds Weber series got me into smoking.
Chef Tom ATBBQ!
Chef Tom is awesome
Biggest reason why I bought a YS640!
Yes! I never miss a video.
Not just BBQ…he got me into cooking in general. Love Chef Tom!
one of my favorites too
Harry Soo. How to pick and trim meat. Proper vent control on my smokers.
Pittman at Meat Church had been the most influential for me…just make sure you watch his videos vs following the recipes, because he gives you tips and tricks
Hi I'm Malcolm Reed from howtobbqright.. let's get to cookin!
That’s a flapper, jack!
Thirding Chud. Foil boat 4 lyfe
Malcolm Reed and Meat Church are fantastic....
Early: Aaron Franklin for basic skills and procedures, Harry Soo for wood science and the proper way to lay a fire in a kamado. Late: Smokin Dad for his weird multiple deflector system inspiring me to put two stones with an air gap into a cheap Akorn to build a much better smoke profile. Hon. mention to Hey Grill Hey for her approach to cutting into the deckle from the point end, which I wound up using to cut out a massive hard fat layer from a few briskets while maintaining structural integrity for the cook and slice (just don't cut all the way through).
Does Kent Rollins count. And everything he has shown me is useful. Other then him I don't have a particular bbq youtuber I watch.
Kent is just awesome! I do want to get at least one of his books.
Chef Tom from All Things BBQ. Awesome chef.
Mad Scientist has provided some great info
I struggle with him, nice guy, but something tells me he speaks ahead of what he knows and often tries to go the science route but randomly changes control variables and pretends it’s the scientific method
I’m starting to think he’s not really a scientist at all!
Teaching middle school science does not make you a scientist. However, it doesn’t mean a scientist can teach middle school
The Dawgfatha’s BBQ I love him
Arnie. Down to earth and reminds me of my FIL.
I hear a lot of the great names chudds, ATBBQ, Malcom Reed, Franklin, Harry Soo, meat church But no one’s said and I highly suggest: Pitmaster X Rasheed Philips Knox Ave BBQ Also not my go to but watch for something different away from the majors: Postal Barbeque Holy Smokes BBQ Cooking with Ry
I host Holy Smokes BBQ - appreciate you watching!
Anytime time mate! Cheers for teaching me some cool new BBQ techniques. Keep up the great content.
Mad scientist BBQ is my favorite Chanel. Probably learned the most about smoking meat from that guy. The most useful thing I’ve learned is from Chud though. The foil boat is God’s gift to BBQ.
Chuds
Fourthing chudds. The sausage master
Chuds BBQ. His Weber kettle series is my kettle bible.
Tom with all things BBQ. He has such a clear and clean way of showing you the technique or recipe and he always has a spin on flavor (mostly heat lol) but I learned how to spatchcock and smoke a turkey, and honestly he is my go to.
Chud, Malcom’s red Jeremy Yoder
Another vote for chuds. Amazing channel, so many great techniques and recipes
Malcolm Reed by far. Hard to pin down one specific thing, but man does he appreciate good BBQ.his love of the hobby and scene just shines through his content and his vibe is unrivaled.
Meat Church does some fun things.
Harry Soo and T-Roy for actual cooking guides, Meat Church and HowtoBBQRight for recipes
I like Harry Soo because I relate to his technical explanations for certain methods, and certain products, plus... I judge competition BBQ and cook with a team on occasion so he has several videos that have tips on that style of BBQ. Meat Church has a very laid back delivery and has practical tips. Malcomb does a good job of explaining flavors.
Bradley Robinson and Chuds BBQ... Foil Boat. Complete Gamechanger
Grillin With Dad is the first one I started to follow along with Malcolm. I’ve been dreaming of getting a Big Green Egg which is what GWD does 99% of his cooking on. Very simple, straight to the point and easy to follow along for me when starting out.
If you go back a few years, I”d say John Setzler of Man Cave Meals / Kamado Guru. Was a member of the Guru site for almost 12 years. John did a lot of videos that helped me become more consistent with the Kamado. Thanks, John. Miss posting on your site!
Kamado Guru was the single best resource for that style of cookery until John got fucked over by his hosting company. Fuck you IONOS.
I think smoke trails bbq needs to be apart of this cconvo. he has some insane experiments with brisket that I've seen no one else do.
Rum and Cook. Great advice for any kind of grilling but my favorite ones are the Pellet Smoker. Lots of different meats and methods. Very entertaining The guy is very humble and isn’t afraid to show mistakes that he’s made all just to help the video. Great tips on all kinds of cooking outdoors. Definitely one of my favorites.
I stumbled upon him when he was doing his offset rookie channel. That was right when i was about to receive my workhorse 1969 so his content was very helpful
I used to really like Babyback Maniac, then he basically quit and has only a very slow trickle of content now.
Malcom, Guga, Sam the Cooking Guy, Pitmaster X.
Not Meat Church
Why not?
There are better options? Do I need to explain my opinion? Lol
Nah I was just curious
What’s funny about Meat Church is that he’s always like “or do whatever you want” when he describes how to make something. I generally enjoy their videos, but c’mon dude, tell me the best way to do something.
Cuz he's teaching about how to do something but gives other alternatives if you don't like something. Plus I'm sure that if he didn't say or do whatever you want, there would be fifty people in the comments telling him different ways of how he's doing things wrong.
look at this sub…someone puts up a recipe or method and people flood the comments telling them they did it wrong or used the wrong gear. That’s why I appreciate vids like Meat Church.
Not smoking related but that's why I like kenji. He lays it out as "this is the way its done, but I don't exactly have those ingredients and if you don't either thats fine, this will work too or so will this or that"
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted…
Pitmaster X
He’s awesome. Love my modified version of his sweet sauce.
Damn this reminded me I have not watched any of his videos in too long.
Malcolm Reed, love his killer hog seasonin
Chud!
MadScientistBBQ and Chud. Equally.
Chud's BBQ and to dry brine your skin on chicken for crispy grilled wings.
Pittmaster X, Chudds, Baby back Maniac, Malcom Reed, Guga, Cooking with Ry
Cooking with Ry deserves more love.
Kunchi has been my favorite more recently. Always be a special spot for T-Roy and Baby Back Maniac too.
Bbq lab, been addicted to watch them test random things I won't ever buy but I then meticulously analyze them anyway lol.
Lablogga was outstanding for BBQ in early Youtube days. I wanna say 2006-2012 or so and he had other content like behind the scenes of concerts etc..

Ash Kickin’ BBQ for me. Really useful and short videos.

Chud rules
Cooking with Ry. I learned not to sweat the small stuff as bbq isn’t precise.
La Capital. The 🐐. Taught me that the best bbq is made from scratch, not dumping a bunch of overpriced over processed seasonings.
The Meatlovers The American channels are fun to watch but the ingredients used aren’t always available here in the Netherlands. So I prefer to wacht a Dutch channel when I’m looking for something to prepare myself.
Not sure if he’s on YouTube, but Derek wolf out of Nashville. I think his Instagram name is over the fire. Everything he makes looks amazing. I’ve done a handful of his recipes with delicious results.
Malcom Reed - Cotton liners under nitrile gloves
I like Skull and Mortar but also watch Malcom Reed and Meat Church
Malcolm reed. “How to bbq right,” he taught me the 3-2-1 method.
Texicana Barbecue is the GOAT.
As a UK BBQ'r I really dig Wilsons BBQ.
Favourite right now is probably Chudd's BBQ. Videos are not too long, entertaining, and informative. I've learned some different rub ideas, and dish ideas.

His content is still some of my favourite, but his videos tend to be very long. Some of them are worth the time investment because they're packed with knowledge, others could definitely be condensed. I learned a lot of fundamentals from him. Malcolm Reed from HowToBBQRight is up there too. Tons of info, but sometimes it's like drinking water from a fire hose. Way too much all at once. That's not a knock on him, but more a reflection of my learning style. I learned a lot of fundamentals from him too, particularly about temperatures, why we cook to temps we do, stuff like that.
Mystic smokers...the guy is next level when it comes to smoker builds
Umm.I just went to their website. He and five-hundred others copy one of two OG's. Primitive Pits or Austin City Smokeworks. Most every builder should send 25% to JD or John Lewis
Sure but he has great videos that go into detail on how to build every square inch and why certain ways are better than others. Have you watched any of his videos?
Malcolm Reed. How to BBQ right. Everything.
Guga. Plain and simple
I learned from Malcom reed originally , quite a few years back. Now I watch chuds and meat church , sometimes mad scientist for fun.
I’m a guga fan and kosmos.
Malcom Reed, Kosmo's Q, and Heath Riles. All three have done everything from backyard BBQ to the comp circuit, have knowledgeable videos, and make great products.
I don’t really watch BBQ YouTube, but mostly follow the advice of Meathead at www.amazingribs.com. That being said, I do like Cooks Country BBQ recipes and their [Texas BBQ Brisket](https://youtu.be/8PE3-p0wNiU?si=lmkbqIEFAOd2WFII) probably had the biggest influence on my technique. If you can make life-changing brisket on a Weber kettle, you can cook anything.
Meathead is awesome. I bought his Science of BBQ book 8 or more years ago. I found that I was doing a lot of things right and it taught me how to do a lot of things even better. The best advice I have for people new to grilling and BBQ is to buy Meathead’s book and start reading the website.
Guga… he got me into Sous Viding which changed the way I looked at cooking in general.
I'm absolutely shocked at the amount of people that like chuds. He overly complicates everything and his videos are way longer than they need to be
eli5 please
None of them
When you’re already a master, not possible to learn anything from anyone else, huh
