Hi! I'm Harry Soo, a Grand Champion pitmaster from in Diamond Bar, near Los Angeles. Welcome to my vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.
On weekdays, I'm an IT nerd living a Dilbertesque existence in a fabric covered cubicle in downtown LA. I'm the head tour guide for a team of IT project managers who build datacenters, networks, servers, and infrastructure that helps bring tap water to 300 cities and 20 million residents in SoCal.
On weekends, I come alive as a pitmaster, competitor, and BBQ instructor. You've seen me on BBQ Pitmasters, Food Network, Chopped Grill Masters, Smoked, Cutthroat Kitchen, and local TV in California. My shtick is I've used a humble 18-inch Weber Smokey Mountain smoker to win 100+ first places and 1st place USA in the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) awards including best chicken, brisket, and sirloin; and I've won over 30 Grand Championships. I've personally taught 250+ classes and trained 4,000+ pitmasters in small hands-on dozen student classes in the US, Sydney, Perth, London, Kuala Lumpur, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii.
I get many questions weekly about how to grill and barbecue. Since I started cooking professionally in 2008, I've answered thousands via email, so I decided to post my answers via video to reach a wider audience. I'll do my best to post a video on my channel periodically. I upload vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.

Very cool Harry, always wanted to learn how to do this.

Great video on different techniques cooking chicken thighs. Thanks Harry Soo

[kevinbongard]

Love all the videos & blackbelt there an advantage to cooking in a steam pan
With the pizza screen as opposed to just the bare there much difference in the end product

[Mickcotton]

Harry how have boneless thighs done in the past in KCBS comps and do teams continue to turn them in with any success?

[ablackar]

What size are the cavities in the mini loaf pan? Great video!

[nelsonrodriguez]

We do halves chicken in Tx, we don't do thighs n sauce on meat

[Chucho_Q]

Did you cut the pizza rack to size it in half pan?

[BigLou]

Can you make a smoke ring video on a brisket using the UDS

[markschaffer]

Video is ok but I only keep watching the ones that they explain what and why they are doing things during the videos. Just trying to explain what I like and what keeps me watching
