Today on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we’ve got a VERY special guest all the way from Texas, Alonzo Cantu of Gulf Coast Smoke (00:24)! Gulf Coast Smoke wasn’t ALWAYS as big as it is today, here’s Alonzo’s humble beginnings (04:35). In the Texas competition circuit, judging works a LITTLE different than it does in the MBN (09:33)... When it comes to cooking up a grand champion worthy piece of meat, Alonzo is a firm believer in keeping it simple (17:06). After he’s done tearing up the circuit, here’s what’s going down on the Gulf Coast Smoke channel (21:01)! We’ve seen a LOT of styles of chicken wings, but these brined chicken wings Alonzo whipped up are NEXT LEVEL (27:47)! Behind every great channel is an even greater team keeping everyone in line (29:28). You can cook ANYTHING on a pellet grill, and being outside makes it EVEN BETTER (32:29). Looking for a new grill to add to your arsenal? Primo Ceramic Grills has you covered (34:24)! Alonzo cooks a LOT of food, but these are his FAVORITES to throw on the grill (35:09). We often sing the praises of Outlaw smokers, but they are WORTH the money (38:49)! What are the MOST popular pits for competition cooking in Texas (42:46)? Texas has a LOT of good BBQ, but these are Alonzo’s TOP places to grab a bite (48:01). Finally, Gulf Coast Smoke has more than just killer videos, they’ve got some AWESOME rubs for y’all to check out too (52:46)!
