Pitmaster Essentials
Welcome to Pitmaster Essentials YouTube Channel with Thomas Campbell.
Charcoal. Flavor. Smoke. That’s what this channel is all about. I cook on the Weber Kettle Grill, Weber Smokey Mountain (14, 18, and 22), and a Hasty Bake Legacy.
I share BBQ recipes, tips, and techniques straight from my backyard pit. New “How To” videos will be published every Saturday at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
Subscribe and hit that notification bell and I will send you notifications when new videos are published.
And remember Pitmaster Essentials is “Where Flavor Meats Smoke!” I’ll see you in the next video!

Hey PME Fam!
Sorry I don't have a new How To this week. As I say in my videos, we are a busy family. School's back in session, college move in, etc.
I will have a new one ready next week.
I appreciate all of you and remember Pitmaster Essentials is where Flavor Meats Smoke and I will see you in the next one!

Good afternoon, sorry for the lack of content this week. I am taking a much needed break from the pit. I will be back at it on Monday.
I also have a short "How To" that I will post this coming Sunday around 2pm Eastern.
Here's a picture of one of our stops. This is Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay Alaska, truly magnificent!
I hope you all had a great week!

Memorial Day 2026
I’m truly grateful for those who fought and died for my freedom.
Today, take a moment from the pit, step away from the smoke, and offer a moment of silence for the fallen. 🫡
If you’ve never been to Arlington National Cemetery, I highly encourage everyone to visit. Standing among those endless rows of white headstones puts the true meaning of Memorial Day into perspective like nothing else.
God bless the USA!
