Cheers brother! 3:39 I see so many people posting videos of cooks on their Weber kettles, where their grill grates are shinny like new. This brings up two questions. Is there some magic to cleaning the grates that well and is cleaning that well even necessary? Cheers, Dave!! 5:34 What are your thoughts on using beer like stouts or IPAs to baste or spritz meat while its smoking? 8:08 Wondering if you have ever done any cast iron cooking. example cooking in a Dutch oven, skillet, etc? 10:09 What’s your favorite Star Trek generation? 11:55 Hey Troy I recently bought a traeger pellet grill and I’m going to do a whole brisket. My questions are do I put it fat cap up or fat cap down? Also, do I wrap it or no? If so? At what temp or do I go based on color? 14:49 I cooked a pork butt last weekend and noticed that it came out almost too moist. Has that ever happened to you? 15:50 You mentioned quite a while ago about having a drone, A Yuneek Typoon, I think you said? How often do you get it out and fly? 18:16 Got a question I'm using the Oklahoma joe off set smoker. I'm getting a lot of soot on my turkeys when I smoke them. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks. ==================================================== YouTube Channels Mentioned: Smoked Reb BBQ https://www.youtube.com/user/SmokedReb Games N' Grills https://www.youtube.com/user/Clantzy75 =========================================== Amazon Store for T-ROY COOKS https://www.amazon.com/shop/t-roycooks =========================================== Products mentioned that are not available on Amazon Yoder Smokers: http://www.yodersmokers.com/ Slow 'N Sear Affiliate Link: http://abcbarbecue.com?afmc=1h ============================================= ThermoWorks Affiliate Links: Smoke - http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermapen Mk4 - http://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermopop - http://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop?tw=TROYCOOKS Chef Alarm - http://www.thermoworks.com/ChefAlarm?tw=TROYCOOKS Dot - http://www.thermoworks.com/DOT?tw=TROYCOOKS ============================================== Please help support T-ROY COOKS http://www.paypal.me/TroyCooks Thank you very much for the support!!! ============================================== Get your T-ROY COOKS App here: Apple Devices https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/troy-cooks/id1031242972?ls=1&mt=8 Android Devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bf.app87eab8 ============================================ Follow T-ROY COOKS on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TroyCooksGoodFood Twitter: https://twitter.com/T_ROY_COOKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troy_cooks/ Website: http://www.TroyCooks.com **Disclosure Agreement** I participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program which allows me to earn a small referral fee by linking to Amazon.

I show you how to make a hearty beef stew recipe homemade. Click "Show More" for the recipe. Troy's Hearty Beef Stew 3 lb Chuck Roast (Cubed) 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil 2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour Water 1/2 Onion diced 3 or 4 Garlic cloves (diced) 16 oz Baby Carrots 5 Red Potatoes (halved) 8 oz Beef Stock 28 oz can of Peeled Tomatoes with juice (diced) 8 oz Frozen Green Peas 8 oz Frozen Corn Cooked Rice Salt and Pepper to taste Add vegetable oil to a dutch oven and heat over medium high for a few minutes. Add cubed beef and brown on all sides. You may need to brown the beef in several batches. Once meat is browned on all sides, remove and set aside. Add flour to remaining oil in the dutch oven. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat to cook out the flour taste and let the roux gets a little darker brown. Add water to the roux a little at a time stiring water into the roux mixture until you have a thin gravy. Add meat and juice back to the dutch oven. Add 8 oz of beef stock to just cover the meat. Add more water if needed. Add 1 tsp each salt and pepper, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add Onion and Garlic, cover and simmer 3-4 more hours or until meat is tender. Add carrots and let simmer another 30 minutes. Add potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and corn to dutch oven, cover and simmer another 30 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are tender. Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Click "Show More" below to open the description box for more info! 1:18 How can I get bite through skin on my smoked chicken? 2:45 What temperature do you shoot for when you take your pork shoulders off the smoker? Do you ever inject? 5:02 Have you ever thought of using your rotisserie to make a homemade Doner Kebab or a Gyros? 6:07 I have a WSM and for the life of me I cannot get a smoke ring on a brisket. Any suggestions? Maybe an easier question, does your Yoder produce a more reliable ring compared to your WSM? 8:52 Do you fire up the yoder just to cook a steak or two? 9:42 I'm thinking of using Brown sauce in my meat instead of rubs. Is that ok to do and what wood would you recommend? 11:50 Where did you get a Booth Bay harbor T shirt? 12:59 Yo T-Roy, out of your pits what is your favourite one? 14:06 Troy, I know you have your own gig but why not have your own BBQ Pit Boys chapter? 14:31 What is the difference between Cajun and Creole? 16:30 Are you a Walking Dead fan? Cheers my friend. 17:08 How do you pick which cooker you're going to use? Do requests from fans have any impact or is it simply what mood your in that day? 18:44 Do you think it would be alright to burn wood in your WSM? 20:36 The offset smoker seems to be the holy grail of all smokers but requires constant attention to the fire and temp. Do you think the cost and time invested per cook turns out better BBQ than the WSM or Pitbarrel cooker? 21:24 Have you ever ran into sulfur smelling pork ribs? 23:45 Is the WSM a good first time smoker? So far to me it seems the best all rounder for a newbie. 24:58 Does it seem reasonable to go from a Materbuilt to stick burner?? ==================================================== YouTube Channels Mentioned: Aim'em & Claim'em Smokers https://www.youtube.com/user/CentralTexasGrilling The Punkrock-Kitchen https://www.youtube.com/user/MadMacTennents Elton's BBQ-pit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRIn3wtNwv6pGBI2SDYTC_A Rubins Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoFQwwXJbhRVXIYi8e3D7Pg =========================================== Amazon Store for T-ROY COOKS https://www.amazon.com/shop/t-roycooks =========================================== Products mentioned that are not available on Amazon Yoder Smokers: http://www.yodersmokers.com/ Heaven Made Products http://www.heavenmadeproducts.com/ KosmosQ http://kosmosq.com/ Slow 'N Sear Affiliate Link: http://abcbarbecue.com?afmc=1h Cajun Bandit: http://www.cajunbandit.com/ ============================================= ThermoWorks Affiliate Links: Smoke - http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermapen Mk4 - http://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermopop - http://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop?tw=TROYCOOKS Chef Alarm - http://www.thermoworks.com/ChefAlarm?tw=TROYCOOKS Dot - http://www.thermoworks.com/DOT?tw=TROYCOOKS ============================================== Please help support T-ROY COOKS http://www.paypal.me/TroyCooks Thank you very much for the support!!! ============================================== Get your T-ROY COOKS App here: Apple Devices https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/troy-cooks/id1031242972?ls=1&mt=8 Android Devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bf.app87eab8 ============================================ Follow T-ROY COOKS on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TroyCooksGoodFood Twitter: https://twitter.com/T_ROY_COOKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troy_cooks/ Website: http://www.TroyCooks.com **Disclosure Agreement** I participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program which allows me to earn a small referral fee by linking to Amazon.

Do you have any tips for cooking? Inject or not? Where to probe? 6:46 What to do with the aftermath of a long brisket cook. I'm always perplexed about how to get rid of the fatty water pan? 7:46 What's your take on the Myron Mixon stick burner water cooker? 8:57 When are you available to be on the Hot Seat T-Roy? 10:26 I was wondering if your going to do a brisket and some burnt ends? 12:13 Are you using the standard charcoal ring that comes with the WSM or did you upgrade to a larger one from Cajun Bandit ? If so, how much difference does it make? 14:18 Does ordering products from your affiliate links help support your channel? 15:46 How'd the smokiness of the briskets you had from the Mak pellet grill compare to those cooked on your Yoder? 16:55 When cooking a brisket at 225 to 250 how fast will a brisket cook? 17:39 The beard is looking good. How long have you had a beard for? 18:41 I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the sous vide method integrated with bbq? Have you ever tried it? 20:44 When I was in Texas last year, I got introduced to Hot Guts and loved them. So juicy and delicious. Have you ever tried making your own? 22:08 Not a "bbq" question, but where did you get the epic flamingo tropical shirt? 23:22 Was Wondering if you ever tried any Country Boy Brewing beer? 24:14 My question is in your last Thursday chat you mentioned 4-6 cooks before you can maintain temps. Do you ever really clean out the cooker with soap and water or just clean out the pit and the water pan? 26:18 I'm finding that the wood chunks im using are burning out within an hour or so of putting them in my WSM. I want to maximize the chunk flavour that's going into my meat. Any ideas? 28:46 Do you do multiple Cooks in a day and video them all? Or do you just do one at a time? 30:39 Can you tell me where you get your beer holder from and are they any good? 31:48 Troy,over all the cooks you can remember doing through the years, how many times can u remember using Worcershire sauce as a binder instead of mustard? 33:02 In your opinion should a temp probe be placed between the meat and the coals or between the meat and cooler side of the pit. Also do you take into consideration the grate temp as well as the dome temp? 36:00 What do you think is the single best accessory for the Weber Kettle and why? 37:09 I am planning to purchase a Lang reverse flow offset smoker (48" patio model). I'm trying to decide what my first cook on it should be. What do you think would be best? 38:38 I've been cooking butterflied (spatchcocked) chicken in practice for Thanksgiving. It seems lots of videos instruct you to flip the bird three or four time.

And if you were building one, what is something that it absolutely would have to have on it? 10:40 You have a video where you've done a beer can chicken on the WSM and maintained a temp of around 300 degrees. I find the WSM is fantastic at holding a temp of 225-250, I just cannot get it up to 300 and stay there. What's the trick to get higher temps? 13:07 Since your retirement, the beard is filling in nicely. Are you planning to go Duck Dynasty with it? God bless, Darin... PS. What's Miss Karen's take, shaggy?? 13:58 Have you ever tried to make bbq cactus cooler chicken? It's like beer can chicken. then use your favorite spices. 14:22 Every time I inject meat the liquid shoots out of the others holes in the meat and most times all over the counters. How can I prevent this? tyvm cheers! 15:34 Have you done a prime rib roast on your Weber Rotisserie and what rub would you recommend for the best bark/crust? 17:17 I just ordered a weber smokey mountain. Any tips for a beginner of this type cooker? Thanks and cheers to you! 21:08 What you drinking buddy? 21:36 Any tips on how to make the WSM more fuel efficient? I have the 22” model with a gasket kit on it and I’m barely getting 8 hours of cook time with a full bag of charcoal. I’ve heard you mention you get double cooking time with a full bag. Am I missing something? Are their bigger bags of kingsford I’m missing? 23:52 WSM or a normal webber? What would perform better or easier? Which would be best to get since i don't have the option for both? 25:28 Is there a significant difference between prime and wagyu briskets? Is it worth the money to purchase a wagyu brisket after being spoiled on prime?

This is a review of the SMOBOT WiFi Temp Controller on my Kamado Joe. I do an unboxing, show how to connect it to your Kamado, and set it up. I cook Smoked Pork Butt using KosmosQ rub and MojoBricks Mapple wood for smoke flavor. Get your SMOBOT here: https://www.smobot.com/?utm_source=t-roy Advantages of using SMOBOT: It uses no fan, so your grill breathes the way it was designed to. Has WiFi enabled cloud monitoring. Is low power consumption, and is great for battery operation. Note: Temperature alerts are going to be implemented in mysmobot (dashboard) soon, and that mobile apps should be coming out in a couple of months. =========================================== Other items used for this cook: KosmosQ Rubs and Sauces: http://kosmosq.com/ MojoBricks Smoking Wood: https://mojobricks.com/ ========================================== Amazon Store for T-ROY COOKS https://www.amazon.com/shop/t-roycooks ============================================= ThermoWorks Affiliate Links: Smoke - http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke?tw=TROYCOOKS Smoke Gateway - http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke-Gateway?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermapen Mk4 - http://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermopop - http://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop?tw=TROYCOOKS Chef Alarm - http://www.thermoworks.com/ChefAlarm?tw=TROYCOOKS Dot - http://www.thermoworks.com/DOT?tw=TROYCOOKS ============================================== Get your T-ROY COOKS App here: Apple Devices https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/troy-cooks/id1031242972?ls=1&mt=8 Android Devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bf.app87eab8 ================================================== Please help support T-ROY COOKS http://www.paypal.me/TroyCooks Thank you very much for the support!!! ==================================================== Follow T-ROY COOKS on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TroyCooksGoodFood Twitter: https://twitter.com/T_ROY_COOKS Periscope: https://www.periscope.tv/t_roy_cooks Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/spacecowboytx/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troy_cooks/ Website: http://www.TroyCooks.com Music: "Nile's Blues" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ **Disclosure Agreement** I participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program which allows me to earn a small referral fee by linking to Amazon.

How long should a 2.5lbs pork shoulder take to finish at 250F? 37:32 Hey T-Roy, this might be BBQ blasphemy - but have you ever smoked a brisket into the flat and point and smoke them both at the same time? 40:54 Love the Vermont hat, did you get to St Johnsbury for that? 42:41 Hey Troy, question for you. When we gonna do another cook off? It's been awhile bro, bout time for another? 44:19 What do you know about 'boating' a brisket? 46:45 When cooking on a offset stick burner and the brisket or any meat has absorbed as much smoke flavor as it'll take, do you stay with the wood for heat or can you switch over to lump charcoal for the remainder of the cook? 50:19 For your Brisket I noticed you vary your wrapping times. Sometimes you wrap at a temperature of 175, sometimes you do it based on how the bark looks, and sometimes the feel of the brisket. Can you give us a basic guide to why you make these different choices? 55:05 When doin ribs, do you prefer beef ribs or pork ribs and dry rub only or w bbq sauce on them as well? =========================================== Please help support T-ROY COOKS http://www.paypal.me/TroyCooks Thank you very much for the support!!! ============================================ Products mentioned that are not available on Amazon Amazing Ribs http://amazingribs.com/ Lobel's of New York http://www.lobels.com/ Yoder Smokers: http://www.yodersmokers.com/ Slow 'N Sear Affiliate Link: http://abcbarbecue.com?afmc=1h ==================================================== YouTube Channels Mentioned: Baby Back Maniac https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgFM3RsJ6Low9nX_OlS8_JA Rubins Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoFQwwXJbhRVXIYi8e3D7Pg Dan Webster https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAdmiralsemmes Elton's BBQ-pit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRIn3wtNwv6pGBI2SDYTC_A Keith Bettag https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwcYPYNtvJ7vYLPwgPQeOcA Rich's River Smokers West Virginia https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOCsOAHfHHB2KEdM2vCH7MQ CookingwithTomTom https://www.youtube.com/user/cookingwithtomtom Hickory Heat BBQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC971hVyP9B4-TBulKXa5w1Q Aim'em and Claim'em Smokers https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCluQFiiYpJdOIpkMBD4Et_A Tom's Test Kitchen https://www.youtube.com/user/tdjtx =========================================== Amazon Store for T-ROY COOKS https://www.amazon.com/shop/t-roycooks ============================================= ThermoWorks Affiliate Links: Smoke - http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermapen Mk4 - http://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4?tw=TROYCOOKS ============================================== Follow T-ROY COOKS on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TroyCooksGoodFood Twitter: https://twitter.com/T_ROY_COOKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troy_cooks/ Website: http://www.TroyCooks.com **Disclosure Agreement** I participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program which allows me to earn a small referral fee by linking to Amazon.

Click "Show More" below to open the description box for more info! 3:32 Do you have experience with Angus beef and how does it compare to prime? 4:30 Have you ever had a white hot dog? 5:15 What's your opinion on using coffee in a rub? 6:28 When should a YouTuber start thinking about trade marking a name and starting a LLC? 7:21 Can I use Crabapple, Ash, or Birch for cooking wood? 9:22 My question is about a country boil. I noticed in some of your older videos you put a fair amount of seasoning in them. Does that make it more spicy or just give it more flavor? 13:32 What do you feel is the best food to smoke with pecan wood? 13:58 Troy, could you show your pergola? I need to do something for my patio and I'm leaning towards a pergola? 17:00 I am using a 18.5 WSM with factory door. I have used some high heat gasket around the door to make it airtight. I can be holding at 225 for hours and when I take the top off to mop, spritz, etc. more often than not the temp will start climbing up to around 350 and will keep climbing until I shut all vents down. Just wondering if this has happened to you and what I might could do to keep this from happening. 20:13 Have you grilled some beef kebabs? If so, would you grill each part of the kebab separately on each skewer, beef on one skewer, onions on another, peppers on another, etc? 21:40 I have always heard that for dried spices, its best to replace them one a year due to flavor loss. Is this also true for rubs as they are made using similar ingredients? 22:33 Where did you get the mister in your pool? 23:39 Do find that you are busier in retirement? 24:36 What is your favorite football Saturday/Sunday food and traditions? I'd love to see a vid on how you prep for game day. 26:35 T-Roy, have you ever tried beef chuck eye steaks? 27:42 You mentioned that you like to fish, what all do you fish for? 28:56 I recently picked up a used 18.5" Weber Smokey Mountain. I've been able to nail 225F, but about 3 hours into the smoke I get a temp spike to about 275F. Just wondering if you have any ideas as to why? Or what I'm doing wrong? 30:50 You say that your retired, but you don't look old enough to be retired.

Did you experience the same with yours? 29:36 I'm trying to expand my rub collection. Do you have a favorite for chicken with some heat and sweet? 31:12 Do you answer the questions in print? Like on a web page or something? 34:50 For a beginner BBQer would you recommend the WSM for ease of use vs the off-set OR should a beginner just dive right into the off-set? 36:55 I plan on getting the Cajun Bandit Rotisserie. I see I can use it with either the Weber Kettle or the WSM. Which one would you recommend I purchase knowing that it would be used primarily for rotisserie. 39:45 Would love to see you do a whole turkey on your weber performer. Any ideas or tips for the weber performer would be greatly appreciated. Also have you ever tried or heard anything about the grilleye thermometer? 41:35 Have you ever smoked a Whole Hog in the Ground? 42:11 When using wood, does it need to have a steady flame or just smolder thru out the cook? 46:09 The charcoal grills don't let enough air round my fire box what can I do? 47:50 Would you like to try some local beer brewed near me, some British brew. 48:37 I purchased a WSM 18.5 after watching your videos.

What brands should I check out that I can sharpen myself and will last awhile? 53:16 Have you ever smoked venison? And if so what extra fats would you add to help keep it juicy and moist? 56:14 When not using bbq sauces, what is your favorite sauce or gravy?

This is a wonderful recipe for Homemade Turkey or Chicken Tetrazzini. Click "Show More" for recipe! Turkey Tetrazzini Recipe Ingredients 1 lb of Cooked Turkey, chopped or shredded 1 lb of Uncooked Linguine or Spaghetti 1 Onion chopped 1 lb of Baby Bella Mushrooms sliced 4 Cloves of Garlic minced 1 Tbsp of Italian Seasoning 8 Tbsp of Unsalted Butter (divided) 1/2 cup of Pinot Noir (Red) or a White Wine 1/3 cup of All Purpose Flour 32 oz of Chicken Stock 1 Cups of Whole Milk 1/2 cup of Heavy Cream 1 cup of Cream Cheese, softened at room temperature 1.5 cup of Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese 3/4 cup of Frozen Peas 1.5 cup of Shredded White Cheddar 1/2 cup blend of Shredded Parmesan, Romano, Asiago cheeses Salt and Pepper to taste For the Topping: 1/4 cup of Grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup of Italian Panko Bread Crumbs 2 Tbsp of Butter Preparation 1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, grease a large casserole dish with a little butter or cooking spray and set aside. 2) Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Add the linguine and cook it 2 minutes less than the package instructions indicate. Drain well and rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking further. 3) In a large dutch oven, add 4 Tbsp of butter and allow it to melt over medium high heat, add the mushrooms and onions, season them with some salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, and saute until onions are transluscent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, deglaze the pan with the wine and allow the wine to reduce by half. 4) Add the flour, making sure to stir it in well and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the stock, milk and cream and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened a bit . 5) Stir in the cream cheese, adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the parmesan and cheddar. Set aside and let cool 5 minutes. 6) Add the cooked linguine, shredded turkey, and thawed peas. Give everything a good stir. Pour mixture in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle over the panko bread crumbs and Parmesan and dot the remaining butter evenly over the top. 7) Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. ================================================== Please help support T-ROY COOKS http://www.paypal.me/TroyCooks Thank you very much for the support!!! ==================================================== Amazon Affiliate Links: Pit Barrel Cooker http://amzn.to/2wU2xjG The BBQ King Heat Resistant Gloves http://amzn.to/2rXF6Eq (use coupon code TROYCK15 at checkout, save 15%) Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5 inch: http://amzn.to/2fZhY29 Kamado Joe http://amzn.to/2fITFWQ Weber Charcoal Chimney Starter: http://amzn.to/29rrV8q River Country Thermometer: http://amzn.to/29nVRSt Yeti Coolers Rambler Colster 12 oz: http://amzn.to/2ei8FZO Grill Beast BBQ Grilling Cooking Gloves: http://amzn.to/2hwFsgC Canon G40 Camcorder: http://amzn.to/1UgGuee ============================================= ThermoWorks Affiliate Links: Smoke - http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermapen Mk4 - http://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4?tw=TROYCOOKS Thermopop - http://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop?tw=TROYCOOKS Chef Alarm - http://www.thermoworks.com/ChefAlarm?tw=TROYCOOKS Dot - http://www.thermoworks.com/DOT?tw=TROYCOOKS ============================================== Get your T-ROY COOKS App here: Apple Devices https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/troy-cooks/id1031242972?ls=1&mt=8 Android Devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bf.app87eab8 ================================================== Follow T-ROY COOKS on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TroyCooksGoodFood Twitter: https://twitter.com/T_ROY_COOKS Periscope: https://www.periscope.tv/t_roy_cooks Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/spacecowboytx/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troy_cooks/ Website: http://www.TroyCooks.com Music: "Nile's Blues" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
