Thank you for sharing this video. In my mind, it kinda sucks to see that smoker go, but I think you are doing the right thing and selling it. My only critique is that the paint on it looked like crap. It is interesting to see the name change. But I will say, I feel you should have left the name alone. You know you go back and forth on things. I honestly believe you make a knee jerk reaction. Referring to you as Knox Ave is a dumb name. You have lost yourself as a brand. And that is what you should be standing behind. You are an amazing cook, and over the past 6 weeks, all of the video's I've watched is really great. So "Knox Ave BBQ' is that the street and location where your business will always be. If you branch out? what happens when you do another location. Will that be 20th Street BBQ? You did not think this through well enough. Mistakes were made......
Haha. Great. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
@@knoxavebbq you do @knowxavebbq. I like and appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing and will continue to watch.
“My only critique…” lmao This take is wiilllddd!!! Hahahahaha
I only know him as Knox.. seems he's making the right decisions for him.
It's great that you invite us to follow your journey in both life and BBQ. BBQ goes beyond pits, recepies and fire management :) That said: the new pit looks awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching!
Best of luck to you! I am living my life vicariously through you!
Haha. I’ll try my best to make it fulfilling
Hey Joe! Congratulations for the new change wish you all the best and I’m sure you will do great! ❤🎉
Appreciate it!
That's a great looking pit. Good luck on your path forward. Looking forward future video contents with that pit.
Thanks!
Sick pit! Looks super slick! We will always support you Joe! Thank you for all your content and making those old videos available
👍
I look forward to seeing you use the new pit. That is awesome!👍😊
Me too. Thanks!
Brilliant introspective look into the difference between what others expect of us and where our real interests lie. Sharp looking primitive pit, too! All the best in the next leg of your adventure!
It’s always a journey
Congratulations on your new pit! I also own a 250, so I'm thrilled to see your upcoming videos for some valuable guidance.
I’ll try my best!
Congratulations Joe! I really enjoy your content, man. Great stuff and that pit look badass. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you for watching.
While sad to see the 1000 go, I am very happy to see your thoughts and decisions in getting to your ultimate path. Despite the channel name change, you are always “Mighty Joe Yim” to me. Congratulations!!! 👍👏. Also, nice new pit 👀!!! The Yoder is saying WTF!?! 🤬 Have a good one!
I’m still Joe yim. My nickname is still mighty Joe yim. I just don’t wanna forget where I started and I wanna remind ppl I’ve been doing this longer than they thought.
Looking forward to more from you! Congrats on the new pit! Thanks for the cameo lol
👍
Joe best of luck going into the future. That is an AWESOME looking pit, so looking forward to your future content! 👍👍
👍👍
Damn that was a nice cliffhanger. Can't wait to hear about and see some cooks on your new pit!
👍
45 minutes just to get to the pit?!?!? No way. Not worth it. That ads two hours to your cooks for travel time, plus you have the clean up. Good decision getting the 250 primitive. Can’t wait to see all about it!
Haha. 45 mins is also if the traffic isn’t bad.
@@knoxavebbq there’s never traffic in Chicago! Just like how there’s never any construction…
@@benwagoner9741you're so right.
I've been following and watching you here for quite a while, I feel like we're growing with you experience wise on your journey. Everyone makes changes as they grow, so details don't worry me. Keep up the good work, and love seeing you cooking with other RUclipsrs, it's really enjoyable to watch. Best of luck for you and the channel!
That means a lot. I appreciate your kind words.
Congratulations on the new BBQ!! Cant wait to see you cook on it!!
Appreciate it!
Way to go!! Love following your journey and proud of you!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! ❤️
That new pit is, dare I say, chic. Congratulations on finding your new direction! We're all rooting for you. ❤🎉
I would agree. Haha. Thanks for watching
@@knoxavebbq of course
That’s awesome man, I hope you get to where you want to go, I can’t wait for the day I can get a Primitive Pit, been looking at them for a while
Appreciate it!
Great looking pit! The channel content and quality is getting better!
Appreciate it!
Thanks for answering the questions. You're cooking with channels all the time that I watch consistently and that's how I found you. You're fine behind the camera and that new pit is sexy. Cheers brother.
Thanks for watching
Good luck mate. Keep the cracking videos coming
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous looking pit. Look forward to watching you cook on it!
Appreciate it!
I think it's always great when people leave their early videos on the channel. Allows us to get to know you a bit. I really hate it when RUclipsrs delete old videos...as, honestly....they are often the freshest content...before the channel becomes very formatted.
I still feel like my content is as free flowing as it was before, but I’ve just gotten better talking to myself in a room or in my backyard. lol
@@knoxavebbq Ya, I can see that being a learning curve. However, it's nice to see the development over time....hard as that may feel for a content provider to look at...lol. The learning phase if so often more interesting...than when the presentation becomes more polished. Maybe that's just me. With many others, I end up starting to shortcut vids....once it's just about another cooking idea, especially when RUclipsrs start to produce their own rubs...and go heavily into promotion. That's why I like people like Jeremy of Mad Scientist....who has stayed more in the learning and teaching phase...providing honest content, virtually above all else. Your presentation is also very good...down to earth...and appealing.
What’s up from San Antonio Tx, new subscriber. Appreciate all your content and valuable insight to the bbq world. Sweet 250, about to fire up my 250 for Father’s Day cater tomorrow. Be well. 🤙
Thank you. Appreciate you watching
Excellent, Thank you
Thank you
Love your content and definitely loved seeing you grow your channel.
Appreciate it. Thanks for the support!
It has been very inspiring watching your channel grow. You deserve it!
Appreciate it. Thanks for following along.
Just found your channel...love the content...shared in my Facebook page...hope and pray that you grow your channel by leaps and bounds.
Wow! Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.
This is a journey I’m hoping to embark on myself in the west suburbs. Been cooking for family and friends for a few years and got an offer to possibly do this for real. I don’t have your experience or your youth but imma do the damn thing and see where it takes me. You are an inspiration for real.
Best of luck! Just work hard. Start small and don’t get ahead of yourself.
Looking forward to your future bbq videos Brother! Great content
Thanks. Appreciate you watching!
Heisenberg 2.0!! Love it!! Cool concept and direction to bring it back to the backyard. Can’t wait to see what’s next
👍
You’re the best Joe. Genuine and one helluva cook. Can’t wait to see what you have in store.
You’re too kind. Let’s not forget that you’re a helluva cook too my man. No joke.
Wow Joe gorgeous pit! Looking forward to the upcoming videos!
Appreciate it
Thanks for sharing Joe. It’s crazy you had to keep the 1k that far away. It definitely made it more complicated than it needed to be. The 250 looks awesome! That should serve you well.
Yup
Appreciated this video. Burnout is real and it's cool that you're finding the right fit. Heisenberg 2 is gorgeous and as a physicist I love the theme - my WSM is named "Big Fizix"
Most definitely. It just takes time to figure it out. Haha
It's def a nice pit. Dig the name change. Could you do a video elaborating on the backyard pop-up. I am currently starting a craft BBQ business and have room for a set up like this. Just wanting to know what regulations you have to go through. Thanks, love the content.
I’ll be honest with you, all of those kind of pop ups I’ve done illegally. Technically doing that isn’t really legal. Haha. All rules and regulations are different so you would need to check with where you live.
@@knoxavebbq lol, I may or may not be right there with ya! Donations are a key word! Lol
Let me first say that I love your channel. I love BBQ, but other foods, too. As a life-long cook, and having worked under many Chefs (and many nationalities), AND coming from a machinist background ( if I can follow a blueprint I can follow a recipe ), my true goal is to have that “touch” in cooking that I had in machine work. The real human issue, is that ALL people have a NEED to influence their environment, whether CONstructively, or DEstructively. It’s in everybody. Recognize the things you really like doing, and “think outside the box” not only pertaining to your present skill set, but the things that brought those skills alive. Good Luck, brother, and carry ON!!😊
PS. Fear is NOT a virtue…
Thanks for your kind words! It just take a lot of practice and patience.
Hell yeah keep it going, I got a 250 I can’t wait to see you cooking on it.
Nice!
That new pit is gorgeous
Thank you!
Beautiful new pit! Still mighty! Go Knox Ave!
Thanks man
Hey bro, how's it going?great video for my Saturday morning!! I have been a subscriber sense you the channel only had very few subscribers but i remember telling you that you would be huge on youtube and you are now bro!!! Its so awesome 💯 keep up the great work!!!
Haha. Appreciate you sticking with me
@knoxavebbq I appreciate your hard work in putting out the best youtube BBQ videos on youtube!!! 💯 your awesome seriously!! Thank you 😁
Man the timing of this. I just made some decisions to dial things back a little bit and I feel more focused and motivated than ever now.
Haha. Awesome. Me too! Great minds think alike! Best of luck to you!
I know exactly why you got rid of it, it's not easy to maintain it. I own a 110gal pit and I can't even imagine owning a 1000 gal and all of the maintenance that comes with it. Congrats on your new cooker. All the best 👍
Exactly. Thanks for watching!
Mad support Joe! Change is good and Knox Ave is very marketable! Glad to see you haven't left the game. Also thanks for the clips of your pop ups that would be something I would love to know more about like, How does one do it and what laws does one have to work under, or was there just a big public cook out vibe? Thanks
I’ll be honest with you, all the ones I do in my backyard are illegal. I’ve gone to my local city hall, and you can’t really do it. Haha. That’s why it’s not main thing, but I would like to do it again for fun.
Good move.... Keep up the great work... I like the change
👍
It's not the name that has me watching, its your personality, and most definitely your knowledge of bbqing, the way you enjoy it, it's a passion
I appreciate it. It means a lot!
Can't wait to see videos on the primitive pit. That's on my wish list right now.
Soon
Great video Joe! I’ve been looking to upgrade my smoker. I have been looking at both the Workhorse 75’ and Primitive pits. I want to start BBQ pop ups but not sure what size pit to get.
Hope you find what you’re looking!
New pit looks great. I’ve been wanting a 250 for awhile. Hopefully i will be able to get one within the next year.
👍
Shout Out @Knox Ave BBQ #Coming at you from South Texas #Congrats On the New Primitive Pit:) #Looks Awesome! First Cook??? #Come On! #BRISKET #Texas Style 👊🏼
Soon
I am looking forward to many more great videos on your chsnnel!
Appreciate it
Enjoying your journey thanks for sharing
Appreciate you watching.
thats a pretty new pit you got!
Appreciate it
Awesome Joe can’t wait to see the new content beautiful Primitive 250 brother.
👍
If owning a restaurant that does large volume, the 1000 gallon makes sense. For pop ups/ catering, as well as regular backyard BBQ, the 250 is where it’s at. Great choice. Love primitives 250 wagon. Congrats and no doubt your next chapter will be successful. Keep up the great content.
Agreed
Hey I understand Joe you know I'm looking at something to run my middle level Keep up the great work 😎
OMG!!! That new pit is SICK!!!
I agree. Haha.
Mighty Joe... wow brother!!! What a coaster ride! I was hating to see the 1000 go last night then BOOM, another beast from JD!!! HAHAHA
Haha. Yup
Good luck with the new journey, excited to see what you do with it.
My unsolicited advice on the old videos is to move them to a personal channel if you want to keep them up as if they don’t directly align with Knox Avenue branding they can hurt the channel / algorithm discovery
Appreciate the advice! I’m always trying to learn from ppl ahead of me. Haha. Thank you.
Makes sense Knox!
👍
Brother my first time watching you was the Terry Black video. I've been watching ever since. Congratulations
Appreciate the support. It’s been a while. Haha.
nice Joe, I have the same rig but mine isnt painted. I got the full insulated firebox too in case I do some cooking in the crazy Buffalo winters.
👍
Keep it up!
👍
Nice my man! Let's go!
👍
Awesome!🤙🏾💯
Appreciate you watching!
awww snap!! She's a beaut Clark!! She's a beaut!! I've really been enjoying your journey. Thank you for sharing
Haha. Appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Good on you for sticking with Primative Pits, shows a bit of loyalty. I'm sure you could have jumped on the wagon of some of the more popular Texas built smokers, but you didn't. Thank you for that.
Nothing wrong with the other guys either. I just like the simplicity
The first time I heard your MJY moniker was from JD of Primitive Pits.
I ordered a Workhorse pits 1969 in February I can't wait to get it.
Nice. They are good looking pits
@@knoxavebbq I just wish I didn't have to wait until September or after to get it.
Go get 'em Joe!!! 💪
💪
Welcome to the 250 fam lol. I bet if you make a primitive 250 fire management video it'll get great views cus none exist. Can't wait to see what's next for ya
👍
Wow, the Heisenberg 2.0 is smokin' hot! all pun intended
Haha. You’ll have to by to see it.
Awesome looking new pit, as much as I’d love to have a beast like that, my workhorse 1975w is more than enough for me…
My Yoder is about that size and I’ve used it very successfully for 8 years. It’s a great sized pit for sure.
Great looking pit Joe. I wonder how the powder coating will hold up to the heat. I`m so FN jealous.
We’ll see
I thought you were moving to Knoxville TN when I saw the name change lol. You got to do what’s best for you. That’s one clean ass 250 gallon.
Agreed
I love it!!!! Yes!!!!
👍
Hell yeaaaa that 250 gallon looks sweet, can’t wait to see some cooks on that pit. How many st.Louis you think would fit in that?
I’m not exactly sure, but I’m sure quite a bit.
Whatever you do, keep that Bears sign in the background! 🐻⬇️ Can’t wait to see where this goes!
Lol. Will do!
You’ll always be El Cabrito in my book. That new smoker is sick, man. I’m happy for you, hope to follow you on your journey as you keep growing. Also, thanks for the pop-up knowledge share. I love cooking for people but the idea of having my own full time bbq restaurant sounds horrific. The pop-up idea is a great middle ground and I’m excited to try it!
Ha! I think I gotta do a lot more before I can live up to that name. Yea man, just because you like bbq doesn’t mean you need to quit your job and do it. Haha. Keep it as hobby or a side project until you really don’t wanna do anything but that. But when you get to that point, think about it again. Lol. It’s not an easy thing to do, especially if you don’t have other ppl helping you.
@@knoxavebbq my thought is if I ever do it for money, it’ll be as a really involved hobby, not my day to day livelihood! But the pop-up, am I correct in assuming that it’s a one-off event? I’m sure there are licenses needed and what not, but the stakes are much lower than having a food truck or a brick and mortar, right? Seems like a great way my buddies and I could test it out.
@@knoxavebbq Maybe we’ll refer to that grandma who works at Snow’s as El Cabrito. Only a name for seasoned old pit masters 😅.
I had no idea you had a 45min drive to your pit. That’s absolutely brutal and a perfect way to kill a buzz & passion for cooking bbq. I just received my Primitive 500g on a trailer about a month ago and I just walk out my back door (it cooks like an absolute dream, btw). I can’t imagine having to make such concessions just to do a cook. Smart to get rid of it, especially since it is an asset you can liquidate to use for things now.
Agreed
OH JOE WE LOVE YOU ❤ BOSHHHHH
Haha. Thanks
Here for the journey, you’ll do great. Knox gold sauce??
Knox gold?
@@knoxavebbq you could have a fort knox gold sauce South Carolina style
Heck yes!! Another primitive pit!!
Yup!
Healthy decision making.
Agreed
Congratulations. Great new pit. Glad you replaced with another primitive pit. Did JD come back up to Chicago to deliver it?
Not this time, but we were in communication the entire time
how much did it sell for?
That pit 🤤
👍
❤
👍
Hey Joe! Just took delivery of my 1000g from promitive. How the heck do I lift the stack? Just muscle it up?
I would definitely have someone with you to help.
👍
👍
Bro that smoker is fking lit 🔥
Thanks man! 😁
Hi Joe. This is my first time commenting on your RUclips channel, talk more about your new pit. Why did you choose this pit?
Welcome. More information to future videos
I’m curious to know, how did you have backyard pop ups in the Chicago area without the health department getting involved? I’m assuming you were charging people. I am no longer in IL, but I currently live in an area that would be great for these and I’ve often thought about it, but I can’t find any health department rules or cottage food laws that allow for it.
Best advice is to keep it as low key as possible. Doing it in the backyard like that is technically illegal, but I was still teaching back then and just doing it for fun.
Can’t wait to hear more about the new 250 ❤. I hope you still post work-out content from time to time.
Haha. I would definitely like, but if ppl don’t watch it’s just not worth the time
How about some merch!?
I’d support ya North of the border
👍💙🇨🇦
Haha. Someday. Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Sorry to hear you live in Chicago
Why? I love Chicago
@@knoxavebbq because of the crime
@@boostedbilly7308 what ppl read in the news isn't what all of chicago is like.
@Boosted Billy Don't believe the BS certain "news" outlets try to pitch. You know how almost every town of a significant size has a "tough" part of town? Same thing, but Chicago is a big town. It also has wonderful neighborhoods that make up the vast majority of the city. I lived in Chicago for 6 years, and I miss it every day.
Let's fire up the pit!!!
Soon enough!
Joe, you're an inspiration! Love your mix of stuff :) You do You and damn the rest!
Appreciate it
