Brisket Video: • BBQ with Franklin: The...
My buddy Pat approached me with the idea of converting a 55 gallon drum into a meat smoker. I told him I had no idea how to smoke meat, but he said as long as I handled the welding that he would handle the smoking. Deal.
We found an old oil drum sitting around on the farm and after cutting the top out, started a fire inside to burn off all the oil residue. The next day, we started fabrication by building a fire basket that'll go on the bottom of the drum, we weld air inlets around the outside bottom of the drum with valves that'll control the airflow and temperatures inside the drum, we build a lid to go on top, and lastly install the meat rack towards the upper part of the drum. A couple weeks later was Pat's birthday, which we thought would be a great opportunity to invite a bunch of friends and family over to try out the brisket that we (pat) smoked all through the night.
I came for the smoker design, I stayed for the wholesome ending. Good job.
yeah me too.......good job mate......
Wow what a compassion towards the living beings!
You will be go to hell for supporting this cruelty!
Shame on you
Yup, well done 👍🏼
“I don’t think it’s rocket science. It’s just building a tube and putting a fire in it.”
I mean. Have you SEEN a rocket?
Lmfao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻
Best video yet. I noticed the subject of the video may have been the smoker... but the theme was all about spending quality time with friends and family. Best part was holding the same shot at the end... with quieted background chatter. It was perfect. Great video about what matters most.
I agree 100%. Well said.
I'm just looking for a smoker project but end up seeing a beautiful video!
Juan Pusong Hisula same here, didn’t want it to end... oh well!
Solar eclipse is cool the smoker was great but having true friends and close family is priceless. Great video.
The narration of this video is second to none...
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw a partial solar eclipse as a kid. My parents insisted I hang around and watch it. I didn't get it at the time. I was maybe 5 and just wanted to play with you cars. I still vividly remember that experience seeing it now about 30 years later. Great video mate.
There is something very soothing about this video. I wouldn't feel like a stranger if I met your family and friends. Just amazingly done. People looking for the craziest ideas for a vlog film, and here it is, the simplicity winning life over them.
I started watching this video because of the smoker but ended up watching it because of you and your family.
What lovely family and friends you have.
You are both lucky people.
God bless. 👍
The absolute BEST video I've seen this year, honest!
You have a unique way of conveying the important things.
Thank you so much.

Watched this for the info on the smoker but found myself engaged in the entire story. Honestly, one of the best videos I’ve seen on UA-cam as far as it’s informative value, storytelling, and production quality. Well done!
Watched this while eating my lunch, I was researching barrel smokers. I grew up on a farm and this video made me miss it more than anything. What a great wholesome video. Thank you for making my day.
Yall sound so unified and peaceful!!! I love that and the homemade smoker!!!!! Awesome my friend!!!!!
UA-cam recommendations have been on fire lately. Great vid.
What a wonderful joyous film, absolutely beautiful
I know this is a very old reply, however I must second the gentleman above me in saying that this was one of the most endearing, soulful videos of humanity I have seen in sometime. Keep it up. I enjoyed it greatly. Nice smoker too.
@@rainfallprojects501 I thought u wernt supposed to weld/heat up galivinized pipe?
That was by far the best UA-cam video I have ever seen. I appreciate the unscripted approach that could not be better written. Wonderful. Thank you and God bless.
Dude this is the most interesting UA-cam video I've ever seen. The way you talk over your video it's almost like a story from a novel. Very nice. Totally late for work now
LOL! Honestly did not expect that ending to this comment..
There is nothing more important than family and it also helps to have a best friend. Beautiful video. Thank you loading this one.
I came for your smoker. But what really stand out was your beautiful Farm, A Really Cool Best Friend, and a Wonderful family to enjoy the brisket. Your farm is just breath taking. I always dreamed of living in my own farm. Thanks for the Smoker design and I whole heartedly love the Wonderful Experience on your farm and family even though am far away around the world. I know this video was 3 years ago, but it just feels like yesterday.
Nice, cracked up when your buddy ran the drone into the tree. Thanks for bringing us along to your family do.
Pretty awesome , that's what makes life worth living, can't ever get those days back only relive them in your soul.
That look like an amazing time with friends and family! The smoker build looked fun too but the weekend using it was the best part.
Always producing the best videos on UA-cam. I could watch you fix or make anything.
Good stuff! Family, good friends, a fun project to work on together, good food! Seeing granny enjoying the food made me lose it as my granny (98 yrs old) just passed this last week. She loved to cook and play hostess.
The smoker & the Toyota are just great. The meat looks divine. Thanks for the share.
Nothing like burnin some meat with your buddy. Love the honesty and simplicity. Great time with family and friends creating great memories. That's what it is all about. Great video.
I really appreciate your candid narration....felt like an episode of the Walton's....plus a creative artisan look at how to be best friends with someone and share memories together over a fire....and beer....lol
Really nice video....perfectly paced...one of the best produced I’ve ever seen. Simple . Elegant. Awesome.
You two seem like two extremely different kinds of people but awesome friends. You can always teach each other something and definitely seem like the most ideal friends to have
This is one amazing upload. Just honest to goodness human interaction, appreciation, respect and the joy of friends and family. Thank you for doing this with you friend who is closer to you than a brother. It is sooo much more than a smoker drum and the absence of swearing and cussing made it even more special.

Man I love and watch a ton of BBQ and welding videos, but this by far was the best I have ever seen. The comradeship with you and your friend is classic. The build was awesome and the Family gathering was very touching. The icing on it all was you telling the story. Man I would pay for this.
What you and your friend created with that rusty farm barrel is definitely something money can’t buy and will always be with you all . Great Job
i wanted to make a smoker,.. now i miss my famliy :)
Thank you for another amazing and great video. Love your relaxing style and humor. God bless you and your family
What a great video. I hope you never stop making these. You are a great story teller and obviously a great friend!
Perfect my friend. You're a great storyteller.. Thanks for sharing these moments.
loved this. Also came for a simple smoker design...but was wowed by the authentic brilliant video! thanks
April 2020, im in an area where we depend on the oilfield for everything, if you know it sucks badly now. Prices are at an all time low and most folks are losing their jobs. Definitely needed this video to remind me that making memories with family is the most important thing in life. Thank you guys.
Not many people can take a video of building a smoker and give it so much heart. Well done. I love your videos.
I totally agree with you about the solar eclipse. I saw it in totality in Idaho. It was spine chillingly amazing. Love the vids!
Beautiful Family Brother!!Family is Life Love ,peace ,Harmony ,Happiness and Protection!!Great vids Brah!Keep up the good work!
Dude, thanks for sharing this video! That meat looked so awesome, not to mention the values you portrayed in this, thanks again.
This video made me cry. Tears of happiness. Thanks. God BLESS YOU.
Great video, I was looking for a smoker ideas and I just enjoyed that friendship and the beautiful place where you live!
świetny film chłopie ! super się ogląda. kawka i relaxik o poranku
Sir; Just found your channel last night and subbed, you had me as soon I saw Drake. Did a quick scan of a couple vids but will keep watching until I get up to date. You & Drake will become one of my fav's. Like your outlook on life. Thanks
An educational and unexpectedly touching presentation. Thanks, for both attributes.
the real beauty here isn't the smoker construction at all. It's getting to share in the relationships between you and your friends & family. it felt like a great slice of life, simple and genuine. Thanks for the great vid! cheers!
You are a great story teller. What a beautiful film you've created.
I’ve been binge watching your videos during a pretty terrible, day umpteen-thousand of the COVID-19 pandemic. This video brought me to tears at the end. Just the thought of a beautiful summer day at a family bbq seems like heaven to me now.
I absolutely love this video. DIY Smoker, Brisket and showcasing PNWesterners love of Toyota's. That Land Cruiser was gorgeous!
Get to making more videos.
Nice project! It reminds me of when my best friend and I are hanging around we just do the same, getting your hands dirty while drinking cold beers. This is just what it's all about: spending time with your people and enjoy every moment. Keep going my friend! Cheers from Belgium
Very very impressive video. There was even something about building a smoker. I know it was 3 years ago, hope you are all well and as happy and peaceful as you were back then.
What a great story! and a amazing smoker build plan on making one. Never expected such great storytelling!! Thanks!
The eclipse went directly over my town too. I was pretty impressed by how dark and cool it became.
I really enjoyed this video. It wasn't so much the smoker it was the memories that y'all made that made this video that much better.
Dude.. what a content! Watching this on a cold morning in the philippines. Thankyou for the possitive energy!
It doesn't matter what you're doing--when you post a video it's going to be well done and well worth the watch. My daughter and I drove 9 hours to a little state park outside of Nashville to see the total eclipse, and it was very emotional to say the least. It did get overplayed by the media regarding traffic problems but, in a small way, I got really motivated to make that drive based on those overblown reports. Thanks!!
Such an enjoyable watch.
Meat, friendship, kinship - simply wholesome.
i came here for instructions, i got confidence in building a smoker and a VERY GOOD and heartwarming video. i loved it
I love everything about this video. Nice job!
This was a great video. So simple so down to earth and real. When I think good old America this is what I think of.
Here is small tip for anything on vertical smokers either add a water try towards the bottom to deflect heat and add moister or turn your brisket flat side down as an insulator. then when you wrap it add some butter on the topside.
really awesome video. like a small movie. the drone and the eclipse was the best part. happy birthday to your buddy.. really cool
You all are amazing... best friends are forever and very identifiable. Thanks for sharing this story!
I totally agree on the eclipse in ones own front yard. It makes it specially special.
Good job and awesome video!!! Really enjoyed it and thank you for sharing your friends and family's experience.
This is a lovely, lovely video! I'm so glad Wintergatan introduced me to your channel
Great video! At first it was just about making something, but then it became about why we make things. Thank you for sharing this!
Rainfall video, time to stop what I’m doing and find a place to watch. Videos are amazing keep up the work, can’t wait for more.
Beautiful video of friends and family and food! Happy to have stumbled upon it.
Wow.. Good smoker but ur family and farm r so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Watching from here in New Zealand. I started watching for the BBQ and then you shared your buddy and family. Loved when your did turned sprinkler on. Thanks
"I wonder if we can fit 2 briskets on the smoker?" Yep, hang them like done on the Pit Barrel Cooker. On your 55 gallon drum, you could easily hang 3 at once. Nice job!
So happy to see people as down to earth as yourself. Keep on being you!
Great Build Sir! We too were in the 100% of the Eclipse in Scottsbluff, NE. We're a rural community but were sort of swamped by city folks from the Denver & Northern Colorado area!
Absolutely love this film quick tutorial having friends and family like that is priceless especially having a best friend as of myself you can look them up smoke enough barbecue and Philadelphia Tennessee we also had a pleasant day watching the eclipse and serving brisket and barbecue to the community I want to thank you for this video brought tears to my eyes. Joy to my heart God bless you sir
Your Dad’s Land Cruiser is absolutely gorgeous. Nice restoration!
Great video. Really a good job. Makes me really miss my time with friends and family. Enjoy what you have and work for
Enjoyed the video. That smoker turned out well, got ppl togeather, and some nice food. I need to make one.
Fantastic. You've got talent, Man. Well done. So real. Rare these days. Respect, from Australia
Was not interested in building a smoker, but delighted this video made my play list!!!
Excellent!!
Just found your channel. Just warms the heart. You seem to be the luckiest man in the world. You love what on do and being close to your family, I'm jealous. The way you tellyour story is like a book you can't put down. I'm in southwest flat.a small town called Englewood, about an hoursouth of Sarasota. Just wondering where you are located. So from a 40 year retired electrician thanks to all of you for sharing your story.
Great friendship. Takes me back to 1999 hanging with my friends and younger brother. Having sleepovers and playing n64.
Loved the addition of friends and family in this one. Too bad your sister saw the prank coming and ran! One of my favorite family jokes as well... Saw the full eclipse as well (amazing), and enjoyed seeing your all's take on it. How great to have your buddy's birthday and eclipse party coincide!
Don’t know why but I enjoyed this vid more than I should...... love the country life! Thanks for sharing the video and the smoker ideas bud...cheers
That’s got to be the most beautiful short film I have ever watched! You sir are truly to be envied as you are truly rich.
I agree with some of these people. This video was very well made. It contained a bit of everything that makes one feel extremely grateful to be alive. Great job fella
this is one hell of an advertisement for how nice it can be to live out in the country
This made me feel really good. Great video.
I thought I was going to watch a video on how to make a smoker (which I did) but got a whole lot more. Great food, great family and friends. Excellent work.
Kool video, just a couple childhood friends hanging out having fun.
Love how the solar eclipse is just thrown in at the end of an already awesome video about a meat smoker. I just ate, but I feel hungry again after seeing that brisket.
Great video, I like your smoker, the brisket turned out great for the first one, keep bbqing!!
A marvelous laid back video. Every once in a while we have to sit back and enjoy life.
The variety of ways you described your inability to cook cracked me up!
Wow what an amazing story and beautiful farm. God Bless you guys. Very nice. Made me all fuzzy inside that’s hard to do
So glad you’re getting recognition and fans! I remember when you had 150 subs! 35k now holy crap!
Beautiful video.. I came looking for barrel smoker tips, left with a happy heart. Thanks mate..
i love your videos, and always watch them as soon as i can.
What a video! Thanks for the design and thanks for sharing a wonderful few days of friendship and family. You made me miss other humans! Thanks for allowing us into your life!
