I truly believe if he stays with this it will be top 5 biggest bbq channels on youtube. Guy is so relatable, down to earth, and knows the ins and outs of the craft.
It’s nice to have someone so humble and not try to tell us. He is the best in the West. I love how this guy explained and talks and so relatable. Well done in my opinion !! ✌🏼😎💯🍺🍺
I LOVE that you share the whole process with no fear of it being stolen! No one else will make it taste the same as you. Like Cajun cooking, ingredients but no exact amount. You make it yours!!
Just got back from Las Vegas and saw your chick vid. Love it. I've said before that you keep it simple. You show me what you do without judgement or hard rules. You seem like ( and take this as a compliment) a backyard griller sharing his process. Love it. Keep making these, please. Thanks for doing it. 👍
My son (9 years old) and I love following your recipes and processes because they are so simple but very rewarding. You break it down so easily and have a great demeanor about you. Thank you for helping us forge memories together.
Hell yea I chose to watch this video for the chicken bc I made some terrible chicken breasts for my first time so I’m trying to get better at smoking chicken … And I agree with the other person about the cooker it looks like it can do everything and more with no problem at all and I’m looking it up now.. Great vid Sr. Keep them coming!!!
Although I don't have that big Centex dude of a cooker, I do have a similar flat top model from Pitts & Spits that does an amazing job with all the proteins you mentioned. I too am obsessed live fire cooking using post oak splits, so much so that my true smokers are giving me the ugly stare . I'm about 30 minutes down the road from you guys, I need to make the trip up there soon. Enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming !!!
I'm Down 45 in Galveston but looking forward to a trip up to try y'all out in the near future and try this chicken cook in my back yard pit after church tomorrow. Blessings to you and your family!
LOL. I didn't think I needed to subscribe to one more BBQ channel, but I guess I was wrong. I'll watch anyone who is making money selling their food and then wants to share how they do it. I liked the closing comments: "I'll never tell anyone what's the best." I agree with that. I want to learn from the masters. Learning and then doing it myself and enjoying being outdoors is "the best" for me.
Thanks, Cooper for sharing! You have a special way of articulating your craft. I watch several BBQ UA-camrs and the way you explain the process, just makes sense. No bull$hit, precise, and well executed. A real Gem of a channel and I’m sure your brother assisted with the country music…haha (seen Ants video) God Bless
Coop, it's 14 degrees here in Iowa and I went out and picked up a whole chicken to give that one a try! I do not have the direct fire smoker you have, but I do have the Lone Star Grillz Adjustable one that can get it done. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing and also introducing us to John Baumann!
Great man, thanks! 👍 keep doing what works best for you and as long as keeps you happy and passionate about - that's the meaning of the life, doesn't matter how much money you make as long as it's sustainable of course ❤
This UA-cam channel is a great 2025 gift! Chicken looks 🔥 Will definitely visit within the next year or two when I take my son on a BBQ crawl to Texas (from Michigan!). Best wishes for a blessed 2025!!!
Love the fact that you are doing what you want to do. Some "purists" I'm sure piss on your process. Screw them. Your theory, and process makes sense. I look forward to trying your eats!
Love the videos and the bbq when we come over from Conroe! Can’t believe we have such a high quality bbq place in our backyard and the your sharing all your tips to boot. Love it.
I’m really impressed with your willingness to help. I’m going to be opening a permanent pop up style bbq stand this spring/summer and you’ve really helped me out a bunch. For instance, I’ve sold probably 200+ racks of ribs in Facebook with your sauce on them. People love it up here in Upstate, NY. My most sincere and genuine thank you!!!!
Iove doing an indirect/direct cook on my chickens with oak lumps and then throwing in hickory for an additional layer of flavor. Saludos from Brownsville Texas. Hope one day pay you guys a visit. Keep on smoking
I make your bbq sauce once every 4 weeks. Only sauce we use. whole family loves it. I kinda just guess on how much water to add to make the thinner rib glaze. Would like your official how to video on you make and repurpose your sauce for all the proteins. Keep it up! Such quality videos right off the bat!
@@BarABBQthis would be awesome, quickly becoming my favorite UA-cam bbq content. Thank you for the transparency. I’m just a backyard bbq boy who would like to impress my family and friends. I’ve noticed a couple different variations of your rib glaze from Wilson’s bbq and then from behind the food tv UA-cam channel. A specific recipe that you use at the restaurant would be great if that’s not too much to as for 😂😂😂 keep up the great work cooper, pray for many blessings for ya’ll in 2025.
Great content on this channel Cooper! I plan on trying this out on my Weber Smokey Mountain very soon. I'll be in Texas in the fall and will definitely be visiting Bar-A-BBQ.
Great video man! Love watching how you guys in the states do it, Am in the UK, we do very similar at the restaurant I work at, brine over night, season in the morning, smoke for 80-90 mins before service, then finish over charcoal to serve. Any tips on holding the chicken for longer periods?weve found after a couple of hours in hot hold, the skin is rubbery, still tastes great, but the first orders of chicken are better than the later ones, lol. Also we have a uk bbq podcast, let me know if any interest in coming on for a chat Steve
Your chicken looks great. I'm looking forward to making your glaze for my ribs. I really like your on camera presence and laid back style. It made your video a pleasure to watch
Man I would give you the biggest high five if you shared your dirty rice recipe. It’s the best I’ve ever had. Great vid today. Can’t wait to try it out with my setup.
Looks great man. I also enjoy watching you on The Southern Outdoorsman podcast 😄 You reminded me of him I had to throw it out there. Maybe you have a good sense of humor lol
I truly believe if he stays with this it will be top 5 biggest bbq channels on youtube. Guy is so relatable, down to earth, and knows the ins and outs of the craft.

@@BarABBQjust realized I wasn’t subscribed, fixed that in a hurry!
Agreed. Very good channel. Super down to earth, no bs, no gimmicks.
It’s nice to have someone so humble and not try to tell us. He is the best in the West. I love how this guy explained and talks and so relatable. Well done in my opinion !! ✌🏼😎💯🍺🍺
Favorite bbq channel already. Your teaching/presentation style is so authentic and straight-up. Nothing over the top or click-bait.
Thanks! I just try to keep it real.
BBQ chicken is a classic! Got my outdoor grill installed by Backyard and Home, and it’s been a game-changer for backyard cookouts
I LOVE that you share the whole process with no fear of it being stolen! No one else will make it taste the same as you. Like Cajun cooking, ingredients but no exact amount. You make it yours!!
Great video - love hearing Skynyrd in the background. True Southern BBQ B-)
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite BBQ channels. Thanks for all the information!
Wow, that chicken looks so good! Appreciate you sir!
I’m glad you like it!
The simplicity and common sense you use in all of your cooking is a breath of fresh air on UA-cam. Beautiful, smoky, tender and juicy chicken!
Appreciate the love, it's all about keeping it simple and delicious!
Man that's a really nice smoker all your smokers are nice

Bar-A is next level BBQ. This place is absolutely amazing!
We appreciate the love!
That smoker looks insane!
It is!!

It makes my day to hear that you're enjoying the videos with your son!

I'm glad you don't have the background sound playing, thanks for the video.
That Centex cooker is the real deal and so is that chicken. I want to get down there some day, That glaze is liquid gold!
Thank you!!
Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME content. 10 out of 10.
Thank you!
Chicken is so underrated in barbecue. Halves are where it's at.
I'll absolutely be giving this a crack on my Weber Kettle. G'day from Mount Gambier, South Australia.
Sounds great, let us know how it turns out!
I'm Down 45 in Galveston but looking forward to a trip up to try y'all out in the near future and try this chicken cook in my back yard pit after church tomorrow. Blessings to you and your family!
It's not fair.. It's 9:30 at night and my mouth watering and your not open! That chicken is unbelievably good!

Glad you like them!
Man the color on these look amazing
Appreciate it! We go for that perfect color.
This chicken is always worth the wait.

Sounds awesome, pecan wood is great!
Great chicken, and Zep in the background 🤠👌🏻

@@BarABBQl would love to know how to make that glaze
That looks DELICIOUS! You know it's perfect when that juice just comes out like that!
It’s a good sign! Glad you liked it.
Iove doing an indirect/direct cook on my chickens with oak lumps and then throwing in hickory for an additional layer of flavor.
Saludos from Brownsville Texas.
Hope one day pay you guys a visit. Keep on smoking
Thanks, y'all are always welcome to come by!
