Gotcha Day!

September 21, 2026 — after a 7-year journey, our boy is home.

This is the why behind @holysmokersrubco. It was never just about great BBQ — it’s about using every jar sold to help bring kids home to the families searching for them. Yours included, once your adoption is complete, the mission keeps going for the next family in line.

BBQ has always meant family. The smoke, the wait, the table full of people you love — that’s the whole point. So thank you — for every order, every prayer, every bit of friendship this business has brought us. Our son is loved by us, and by so many of you too.

Gods got this. He’s been in our tomorrow the whole time protecting, changing, healing, leading and loving us all.

Stick around for the morning smoke session. We’ve got my 10 year old rocking my Brother In Laws @traegergrills with 2 small pork butts and one tri tip like brisket today. Smoking it over pecan wood from our buddies at @bearmountainbbq. Then we seasoned them all with a mash up of @holysmokersrubco holy heifer and brisket rub for an incredible in depth smoky flavor.
.
If you think my son is rocking it—give us a follow and a shoutout!!!

Check out how my son helps me smoke trí tip brisket, aka Trisket.
.
We start with the @oldcountrybbqpits G3 and @thegoodcharcoal fuel topped with pecan wood chunks. Then we head inside and season our trinket with the one and only @holysmokersrubco Brisket rub! This is a must get!
.
Once the smoker regulates with good light blue smoke and around 250F, we toss on our beef to roll in smoke until internal around 165-170F. We wrap until probe tender around 203F. We let it rest for at least an hour to re-absorb the juices!! Then we slice against the grain.

Offset or nothing. Pellet guys, I love you… but y’all are basically running a crockpot with a Wi-Fi password 🤣

Tag a pellet smoker in the comments-defend yourselves!

Real fire. Real smoke. Real bark. That’s the deal on the @oldcountrypits.

Here’s how I keep that fire clean and that bark right:

CLEAN FUEL FIRST
Junk charcoal = ash, filler, and nasty smoke. I build my coal bed with @thegoodcharcoalcompany so the heat stays steady and the smoke tastes like wood, not chemicals.

WAIT FOR THIN BLUE SMOKE
Thick white smoke = bitter meat. Let the fire settle before anything hits the grates.

RUB EARLY
Season 30–60 minutes before the cook so it sweats in and builds bark. I run @holysmokersrubco. Clean label, no corn syrup, no fillers.

FEED SMALL, FEED OFTEN
Small splits keep temps steady. Big logs = temp spikes and dirty smoke.

KEEP THE LID SHUT
If you’re lookin’, you ain’t cookin’.

Now settle it in the comments.
Offset, kamado, kettle, or pellet? Defend your pit.

(Love y’all though. The rub hits no matter what you cook on.)

WE’RE HOME. AND THE SMOKER’S LIT.

Back from Vietnam with our son, and our family is bigger and our hearts are full. First cook back is a pulled pork.

Today’s lineup:

Honey Bacon Hog + Bacon Hog for a savory-sweet bacon double-up
Offset from @oldcountrybbqpits
Pecan wood + @bearmountainbbq Hickory chunks

7 TIPS FOR PERFECT PULLED PORK

1. Go bone-in pork butt. It has more flavor and stays juicier.
2. Season heavy and early. Layer Bacon Hog first, then Honey Bacon Hog on top.
3. Hold steady at 225–250°F with clean, thin blue smoke.
4. Spritz every hour after the bark sets.
5. Wrap in butcher paper at about 165°F to push through the stall.
6. Pull it when it’s probe tender, around 200–205°F. Go by feel, not by the clock.
7. Rest at least 1 hour, then save the juices. They’re your secret to reheating leftovers all week.

ONE COOK = A WEEK OF MEALS

• Pulled pork bánh mì, a nod to our trip
• Smoky street tacos with slaw and lime
• BBQ pulled pork mac & cheese
• Pulled pork fried rice

Faith. Family. Fire. Food. It’s good to be home.

Grab Honey Bacon Hog + Bacon Hog at the link in bio.

We did this the “Reverse Sear” way. Simply put, smoke at 225F or lower until 115F internal. Take it off and kick the smoker to 400F or higher to sear each side until desired internal. We pull off at 130F internal and wrap with butter at the rest. The key is the 10 minute rest.
.
This whole smoke we used @bearmountainbbq hickory and oak combo for a robust flavor!
