Welcome to the BBQ Test Pit! 🔥
I’m here to answer one simple question for the average Joe: "Is it worth your money and time?"
On this channel, I give honest, no-nonsense reviews on rubs, sauces, seasonings, and grilling accessories. If it looks good, I’ll test it. From big names like Franklin BBQ, Meat Church, and Goldees to supermarket staples like McCormick and Heath Riles, I put them to the test so you know what to buy.
I also take on the internet’s most viral recipes. Watch as I test recipes from Guga Foods, That Dude Can Cook, Chud's BBQ, Mad Scientist BBQ, Nick DiGiovanni, and more to see if they taste as good as they look.

🚨 THE RIB SHOWDOWN IS LIVE 🚨
I put Texas BBQ heavyweights to the test—Goldee’s-style ribs vs Bar A sauce—then threw my own Ohio rub into the mix to see if a backyard cook can hang with the pros.

This probe has been through literal hell this year. 🔥 From searing tomahawks at 1,000°F to 24-hour brisket stalls, the ThermoWorks RFX has a story to tell.
Most reviews are "first impressions"—this is a 1-year survival test.
I just updated the chapters and metadata to give you the most accurate breakdown of the battery, the gateway range, and the "patina" after 365 days in the pit.
👇 Check it out and let me know: Is it worth the $400?

🤣 Y’ALL… I THINK I BROUGHT HOME A SMALL SUBMARINE!
Just picked up my new 500 gallon Primitive Pits offset smoker, and I swear this thing is so big it needs its own ZIP code.
When I first saw it, I thought, “No way that’s mine… that’s a piece of industrial equipment for NASA.” 🚀🔥
But nope — they handed me the keys and said good luck.
If you want to witness me trying to act normal while picking up a smoker the size of a T-Rex, watch the new Short:

Drop a comment on it and tell me what you’d name this beast. I’m taking suggestions — preferably something that doesn’t involve calling the fire department. 😂🔥

I just tested Spiceology’s All Purpose Rub… and I’m honestly shocked.
This seasoning did something I did not expect — and it completely changed my final verdict.
If you think all-purpose rubs are basically the same, this video will prove you wrong fast.
I pushed this rub HARD in a real cook, and the results were WILD.
