Well, hello folks, it's Mike here. I just want to welcome you back to Mr. Cast Iron, and today we're going to be cooking a ribeye and some pork chops on the old Lodge Sportsman's Grill out here on the fire pit
But this is not going to be a normal video like we usually do
Today we're going to dedicate this video to someone that I consider a new friend that I've met on YouTube
I don't really know him, never met him in person, but he's touched me and my wife
And so this video today is going to be more about faith, family, and friends, along with the food that we're cooking
But this is dedicated to Big Lou Barbecue, and so Big Lou, this is for you
Well, folks, I just want to welcome you back to Mr. Cast Iron
it's mike here got my wife teresa and you know we're going to do something a little bit different
today we uh teresa this is teresa's idea to have uh have uh some ribeyes out on the on the uh
sportsman's grill and of course we're going to cook some pork we're going to cook several things
today to got a big truck going by making noise but that's all right uh but we're doing a dedication
tonight for a friend of ours named Big Lou Barbecue. Many of you guys know Big Lou. Many of you follow him. If you don't, I'll leave a card
up above and I leave his channel down in the description box where you can reach out to Big Lou But Big Lou is going through some tough times at the moment if you not aware of it
Just recently he's went through a hurricane and it's damaged his house which he's got insurance
and everything that's going to take care of it. But it's a disruption. But in the meantime
his wife got sick just out of the blue just real quick and she ended up passing away
and I watched Big Lou's, both of his videos, and sharing his grief with all of us on that
and then when I come home from work today, I shared that with my wife, and it really affected
her, really touched her, and so she said, we need to go out and just cook, because we need to do this
in honor of Big Lou and his family. Big Lou's got a daughter that is going to be turning 18 this week
or this month uh here first part of october and also he's got a 14 year old son uh that's having
a birthday this week too so big lou i just want you know from mr cast iron miss miss cast iron here

We'll be more than happy to try to help you in any way we can, but just know we're praying for you
And we'll be talking to you soon, Big Lou. Well, I just watched your video and it really touched me. I can't imagine what you're going
through. And I told my husband, I said, we just need to go outside and cook some steaks and just
to enjoy our time together because you just never know. And you really, it was almost like a devotion
the things you said to me or said, you didn't say them to me
but I felt like they were to me because it really, it helped me because I have cried out over the loss
of my little brother and then also my mother this past year
And you said that there no way you could take care of your wife any better than what God could And that really really touched me and it helped me And I just wanted to tell you that I so sorry for what you going through
But the words you have said have helped me, and I'm sure they'll help others
And I just will be praying for you. And I'll pray for you to have comfort and strength
and I'll pray for your precious children, your daughter and your son
This is really an unusual thing for me to do, but I really want you to know how much your words
all of everything that you said, how much it touched me. Well, we got her done, Big Lou, and got me and Teresa a plate here
We're getting ready to try this out. So anyway, we just wanted to dedicate this to you, brother
We're thinking about you, and we'll certainly be praying for you, sir
