After 10 Years of Knox Ave BBQ.... Knox Ave BBQ 2025-07-03 | Come with me as I go down memory lane of 10 YEARS of Knox Ave BBQ. It's almost unbelievable that it's been that long. It definitely hasn't always been easy, but every great story has its ups and especially its downs. Hope you enjoy! Thanks, Knox Ave Fam!~
Theres A LOT of thought that goes into being a meat cutter - details in description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-05-08 | Art of The Cutter - Sometimes briskets are oddly shaped because of the deckle. We gotta work magic on the block to maximize the portions, give the customer what they want, and still make it look presentable. In this case we were talking about the very end of the moist where the Mohawk would be. It doesn’t have that much moist, not great lean, and too much fat. But if the customer is looking for a smaller portion of moist brisket that has similar characteristics of the burnt end pieces, this might be the perfect opportunity to sell it. With that being said, it would never be a chuck I would give to a customer without having a conversation with them first. Luckily customers were often looking for that piece. These pieces don’t look the best but I see them as the best little nuggets of meat kitchens save for themselves, like the butt ends of steaks.
INVEST in the right people - details in the description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-05-07 | He’s Got It! - Got some comments in the last videos saying he looks like he doesn’t care. Don’t judge a young man by how he looks. After a few more days of wrapping briskets, he got it down. He started picking up on his own tendencies. Where he was messing up, and talked about what folds were the most important to get the best wrap. This was time well spent.
You WILL SUCK…. at first - description for encouragement Knox Ave BBQ 2025-05-06 | Mess It Up! - No matter how good a set of instructions are, it’s rare when someone can replicate the same results. Like a good recipe, you can have the same ingredients with the proper measurements and temperatures, but once you start you find that it’s not easy. You gotta let people mess up so they can find their own way and create their own memories of messing up.
I LOVE Wrapping Briskets! Knox Ave BBQ 2025-05-05 | The way I wrap isn’t the only way. It’s not the fastest way (for most). It’s not the easiest way, but it’s the way I like it. No fold, crease or roll is done without a reason. I miss those times at TB when I got to practice wrapping 60-100 briskets a night. I’m sure it’s much more now, but those were some good times. Haha.
Go from GOOD to GREAT faster than others! - details in the description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-05-01 | Examine EVERYTHING! - When you don’t have the luxury of being able to cook everyday, it’s hard to pick up cues. If you’re only able to cook a handful of times a year learn to examine everything in your end product. Zoom in and focus on the look, the feel, the smell, the temp. Then zoom out and ask yourself how does this cook compare to others, and what might’ve been different. You’ll know that you’re finding your own style once the differences become fewer and fewer in between cooks. This is a normal pattern that most people follow unconsciously, but when you start to be intentionally about paying attention to it you’ll find the food goes from good to great much quicker.
This ONE MISTAKE can add an EXTRA HOUR to your cook time! - details in the description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-30 | “Give It An Extra 5 Minutes” - When you’re close to the finish line you need that consistent heat for a certain amount of time. BUT if you don’t allow the heat to recover in between checks, you’ll constantly be checking too early. It’s a small error that can add a lot of extra time to the cook. My biggest tip is before you open the cook chamber doors, look at your fire box and make sure the fire is hot! If it’s not, build a bigger fire first. It’ll help shorten the time it takes for the temperature to recover.
When cooking bbq you need to trust yourself - details in the description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-29 | “Make A Judgement Call!” - I always tell new cooks, “Barbecue is a very instinctive style of cooking.” Time and temps are great guidelines, but can’t be fully trusted. Understanding the process of how a piece of meat cooks allows for you to make better judgement calls. When things don’t go accordingly to your plan, knowing what’s coming up can help you pivot and get you back on track. Although in this video I’m talking about briskets, I think about the same thing with ribs, sausage, chicken, etc.
This how I brainwash people who cook bbq! - blueprint in the description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-28 | “Anticipate, Acknowledge, Articulate” (AAA) - As a former football coach I have coachable moments in mind at all times. It’ll be slightly adjust based off the athlete, but it’s up to me to set them up for what I call the 3 A’s. ANTICIPATE when the coaching point will click (the head shake). ACKNOWLEDGE when they’ve showed application. It shows them you’re actually watching and not just barking orders (I see everything). It also shows appreciation that their efforts aren’t going wasted (the laugh).ARTICULATE how the lesson is going to be applied beyond this moment. Too many coaching points are left to be only applicable to drills but not real game situations (quick brisket checks when you’re busy cutting on the block).
This ONE tip will change your turkey! - details in description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-27 | “TUCK THAT TAIL!” (Triple T) - Another tip I would add that I hadn’t fully implemented at this point is taking off the skin. The skin on the turkey isn’t going to become crispy like chicken skin, especially when it’s been brined in a liquid.
Your ribs should look like this! - read the description! Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-25 | RIBiculous! - When you come across a rib that’s just too good you make up new words to describe it. Ribs that can be eaten with a clean bite and easily lifts off the bone with your fingers is the definition of “ribiculous”.
High Quality or Efficiency??? - read the caption for my thoughts! Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-24 | Find More Than One Way - The way I cook at home is similar but not the same as I would at a restaurant. At home I can take all the time in the world, but at the restaurant I have to prioritize as I’m on a stricter schedule and cooking a lot more items.
Yes! I’m very annoying about it because…. - read the description Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-23 | Yes, I’m Very Annoying! - Giving detailed instructions isn’t meant to make a job harder. It’s meant to take away nervousness and uncertainty from new cooks. Also showing and explaining the “why” and “how” are important to start setting standards, consistency, as well as confidence from the very beginning.
What You Know Could Be WRONG! - read the caption Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-22 | Test Your Theories! - Sometimes what you thought was true may not be (in all situations). The more you test your theories against opposing ideas, the more you’ll realize what your core principles and techniques are. The hard part is it’s all based off of your own preferences so it’s hard to make everyone happy. With that being said, don’t take everyone’s negative criticism to heart. Some people just have bad preferences, and I’m not just talking about in barbecue 😬.
Will The Boss Like It?! Knox Ave BBQ 2025-04-21 | Prove It! - When introducing new steps into a process, you have to prove that it’s worth doing. I love showing others that after you get to a certain level, it’s all the smallest additions that take your food to the next level.

MEDIUM RARE IS A LIE!!! - click link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-09-20 | Medium Rare vs Medium Picanha Pull Test!- I'm a rare to medium rare steak eater, BUT I think toget the best texture and most tender bite, pushing it alittle bit further is the answer. Not all cuts are the same,so not every cut should be cooked to the same temp.Next time you cook picanha, try doing a side by sidecomparison and let me know what you think!#BBQ #bbqlovers #steak #pitmaster #grill #protips#bbq #picanha #pitmastertips #bbqlife
This is SO MUCH BETTER than the first version! - click link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-09-19 | Italian Salsa Verde 2! - Major change isadding all the oil in the beginning and foiling in roughcut pieces for more texture.
I SUCK at Cooking! - click link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-09-18 | Evaluate Your Work! - Let's be honest withourselves. Not everything we make is good. The ideamight be good, it might check all the boxes of abalanced dish, but when you go to taste it it's overlycomplicated or just didn't come together like youthought. I think it's important to ask yourselfquestions about what didn't work. It's only with that trueself evaluation that you become a better cook.I've evaluated and reworked thousands of briskets,beef/pork ribs, and links of sausage. Even with allthose reps, I still think about what could be better. Thebest part is when you've done all that evaluating, you'llstart to learn what parts are really important and what'snot.#bbqlife #steak #bbq #bbqlovers #picanha #pitmaster#grill #BBQ #protips #pitmastertips

THE BEST STEAK METHOD! - read the caption Knox Ave BBQ 2024-09-11 | My New Favorite Method! - There areseamlessly an endless amount of methods to cook asteak, and I choose different methods based off ofthe situation: How many are you cooking? How muchtime do you have? Is every steak going to be cooked tothe same temperature? How crusty do I want thesesteaks?There is not ONE BEST METHOD. Use the method that gets the job done and makes the people who eat your food happy. This just happened to be themethod I chose for the day. But like everything else, it takes practices for consistent execution.#grill #picanha #pitmastertips #BBQ #bbqlife #pitmaster#bbq #steak #protips #bbqlovers
FLUFF UP YOUR COALS! - click link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-09-10 | FLUFF UP YOUR COALS! - It's a small detail but an important one. Often times I hear from people that their steaks or burgers are coming off grey even though they had the vents open and added more coals. Allowing the coals to have enough space to breathe is a key component to keeping a long lasting, hot fire. Just like when building a fire in an offset, you need enough space for air to travel to keep the logs burning. #firemanagement #pitmaster #bbq #protips #BBQ#picanha #bbqlife #grill #bbqlovers #steak#pitmastertips #texasbbq #brisket #firemanagement

How To COLD SMOKE STEAK! - click link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-09-05 | Cold Smoked Picanha! - Recently I've seena lot of cooks going back to using cold smoking to addextra flavor and color to their bbq. I don't think that astep like this is necessary or even preferred. Some maysay that it's too smoky, but I always find smokedsteaks lack the flavor I'm looking for. Give it a try andlet me know what you think.#bbq #protips #grill #bbqlovers #pitmastertips #BBQ#pitmaster #bbqlife #steak #picanha
How I Prep PICANHA! - click the link for the full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-09-04 | Prepping Picanha! - I like to keep the prep super simple. Find one that's a nice uniform shape and has full fat coverage over the top. Like many pieces of meat, bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. This one is on the larger size, but the two things I'm looking for in a good picanha were there. #grill #protips #bbq #pitmaster #pitmastertips #BBQ #bbqlovers #bbqlife #picanha #steak

NERDING OUT ON BBQ IS COOL! - click the link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-08-26 | NEVER STOP LEARNING! - This conversation was so fun. Even though the terminology that we use is different, the theory of how we think about the technique is similar. No matter how much you know about any topic or skill, it's important to learn how explain it in an another way and also to solidify your ideas. There's so much we talked about for over 30 mins that I wish I had mentioned during the shoot, but those thoughts didn't come to mind until we had this talk. Nerd out about barbecue, folks!
I LOVE surprising people with my barbecue! - click link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-08-25 | BRISKET FINALE! - Shooting videos is awesome, but what I love most is feeding and educating people about barbecue.
Even the PROs make mistakes! - click the link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-08-24 | Hitting Rib Bones Is So Frustrating! - Luckily when it mattered the most I got through an entire rack of ribs, but I love capturing these moments.

I cooked with @chefsteps ! - click link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-08-21 | I COOKED WITH CHEFSTEPS! - Prep as you guys know is always important, but trying to plan a video shoot with so many moving parts is another big challenge. Trying to schedule multiple long cooks in a span of 2 days takes A LOT to planning. Also make sure the food comes out perfect with cookers you rarely use for a channel like chefsteps was also making me a bit nervous, but that's when you accept the channel and remind yourself you've done this literally thousands of times before! #bbq #BBQ #pitmastertips #bbqlovers #bbqlife #protips #pitmaster #grill #brisket #texasbbq #ribs #burger
Merguez Sausage RECIPE! - click link below for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-08-20 | Merguez Sausage! - It's not a type of sausage I see very often. It’s a spiced and spicy lamb or sometimes beef sausage from the northern region of Africa. This won’t be a traditional merguez, since it’s usually not smoked, but I think mixing traditional flavors with barbecue techniques will create a familiar but slightly different experience. This unexpectedly became one of my favorite bites of food that I’ve made recently. #bbqlife #pitmaster #bbq #protips #bbqlovers #BBQ #pitmastertips #sausages #sausage #sausagedogsofinstagram #merguez

Why Does My Brisket Look Dry? - click the link for full video Knox Ave BBQ 2024-08-15 | Why Does My Brisket Look Dry? - A brisket doesn't need to be wet. A wet brisket can indicate a poor cook, or tricks for better presentation.
