PitmasterX

PitmasterX is a Dutch barbecue channel that has been cooking on kamados, kettles, flat-tops and smokers since the early 2010s. The videos are in English, made in a home studio with a regular cameraman who often ends up tasting, and they bring American barbecue ideas to a European audience, with the channel’s own rubs and seasonings in most recipes.

Burgers are one of its constants. Its signature smash burger starts with beef chuck ground twice, adds a classic burger sauce and a herb sauce for dipping the buns, and one short of it has been watched millions of times. Other videos turn freezer scraps and hunters’ cuts into burgers, grind a $100 wagyu steak, use a flambadou to drip burning fat over a wagyu picanha burger, smoke brisket burgers and recreate the Michelin-starred burger from LeRoy and Lewis in Austin.

There are copycats of the Big Mac and In-N-Out’s Double-Double, tests of viral hacks from mayo in the beef to a pulled pork smash burger, a Mississippi slugburger inspired by Kent Rollins and a gadget test of a €150 burger press.
