Tell BBQ Guy What To Cook Episode One

Well, I finished the first episode of “Tell BBQ Guy What To Cook”.  This historic (at least for me) first episode covers the cooking of a 5lb pork butt with a dry rub and vinegar based sauce.

It’s all loaded up on YouTube and ready for the whole world to watch, for better or for worse    I spent a lot of time trying to make it as good as I could given the fact that I’ve never done something like this before.  As I was editing the video I thought of a lot of things I could have done better/differently.  I will try to integrate those ideas in the next version.

Here are the survey results from SurveyGizmo, which I used to collect the votes.  I think this method of collecting votes will work long term although I am open to different options to see if I can make it even easier to vote.  You will see that I only had 5 votes.  That is a pretty low number.  To be fair, I only really announced to a small group of people (my twitter followers) and only gave a day or so for votes.  But, I’d definitely like more in the future.  This can’t work without your input.  So I’m asking for your help here.  If you like this site, please tell others about it.  The more people who participate, the better the results. 

Here is the video.  Take a look at it and let me know what you think.  I’m open to all suggestions.  I want to make this as fun and informative as possible.  Just use the comments section to leave your thoughts.

All of that being said, I had a lot of fun cooking, and eating, the pork butt and documenting the process.  I will definitely do this again.  I think there is a lot of potential in this.  To me, it seems like a cross between a cooking demo and Iron Chef   I’m already thinking of a couple of possibilities for the next episode so stay tuned!
