Hey T Roy. I just got my first offset smoker. Its a cheap one. But I was at my daughters and her husband had a green egg smoker and it was the first time I had ever smoked anything other then the snake charcoal way in my cheap Weber. that took FOREVER to smoke something. Anyway. I’m so glad I watched ur channel along with all the other hundred I watched because I have one of those cast iron flat irons to cook like pancakes and stuff on. And I didn’t know how I was gonna use it in my smoker. But by watching u it head me. Duh. Use it on the fire box part. Thank u.

Hello Troy. Nice video. I do some of the same things to manage fire on my 20in LSG. Wanted to share a little tip I picked up. I didn't order the ash pan from Chris but a cheap easy alternative is to use the EZ Foil Oven Liners under the ash grate. Two pack sold at Walmart. Makes dumping ash a breeze. I used one liner for five straight cooks.

@TROYCOOKS 2 жыл бұрын
Well, I tried using the BBQ Guru, but you still have to add wood splits every hour or so to keep the fire going, so what's the point of having a computer controlling the fire in an offset? I do love using those devices on the Kamados though!

Hey Troy! You are one of the original Tubers and I've learned a lot from You over the years. You've done a lot for the people out there, so I mean no disrespect with telling you.......you need to rethink your fire management with this pit. The comment from "adamr63" is the way you need to start thinking about approaching this pit. Quick and complete combustion is the key to a clean burn and that will happen with smaller splits and plenty of oxygen. Just looking to help.

Cool.........because You shouldn't have to deal with the problems of large logs smoldering with a fire that goes out. Or logs when then do ignite, have the temps soar and then scramble to try and compensate by shutting down in the intake. I'll be watching! 👍🔥

Hi T-Roy nice and yummy food
@adamr63 4 жыл бұрын
T-Roy, have you tried smaller splits? I get the feeling you are needing to choke down the fire because temps are going up so much when those big splits get going properly. My best results always come from a freely burning fire, like in a fireplace with a well built smoothly burning fire. A smaller coal bed that is completely lit, then a few splits that same length but split lengthways in half or even thirds, and you'll get a beautiful burning very clean fire with thin blue smoke, all day long, and you can adjust temps by managing the flow of air through your woodstack (made from one or two splits piled across the lower two, going in the other direction, to keep air going through), and finer control each time you add a split, as the split will light more easily and will not jack up temps as much. I really think there is nothing wrong with the design, nor any reason you can't get perfect offset smoke, just that you are trying to make too big a fire for the size of the pit and firebox. Try it once, you'll be amazed, and won't have to worry about choking down the fire or letting heat out. Good luck, hope this helps, like you've helped me so much in the past! (Another thing, with a cleaner better burning fire you'll get better convection, reducing cook times a bit and getting even better bark!). Those size splits are the same people use in a 250 gallon cooker, or a 25 or 30 x 50 or 60 one!

@eastjeff Жыл бұрын
I’ve notice to keep a clean smoke, and right temp, sometimes it has to do with the size of my wood. The bigger the wood, the more air it needs, but the temp gets higher depending on the size of your smoker. So I had to figure out what was the perfect size of wood for smoker

It's always nice to have options to cook on. I bet that if you got a nice offset and smoked some BBQ on it, you'd only use your Kamado for high temp cooking. There's a huge difference in the flavor of the meat between the two types of cookers. Thanks for watching Mark! Cheers brother!

My thoughts on lone Star grillz not as thin blue smoke Is the draw not the shape taller stack wider stack and also at the top of the firebox a bigger opening would give you more air flow but just the taller bigger stack might do the trick I know from experience I've done stack extensions and had the situation and put on a taller stack and boom it's clean But smoke is good too Hey check this out I like the Southern pride commercial smoker You put in one log in a small chamber and you have a gas feed keeping it going and those producing really nice flavors I don't know why what they do and I'm not sure if they even have much exhaust going out of that thing but you should check it out They did electric one of those with the quick box like that that would be the ticket 🎟️

Hey T-ROY, Thanks for all the great informative videos. I have been in the market for a high end stick burner for a while now. Thought I about had it down to the Loaded Wichita now the Lonestar has me interested. I guess I have 2 questions, well I have a lot of questions but I will try to keep it short. First could you provide any info as to which you would prefer if you had to do it all over again, the yoder or lonestar? What led you to pic the 20" over the 24" Lonestar? I like the price of the 20" for sure but it seems to be significantly less quality than the larger 24". Anyway I appreciate you taking the time to make all these great videos. Cheers, Anthony

Yes, I just shot a video cooking brisket on my LSG 20 inch. It is very fuel efficient and cooks very evenly from end to end which is difficult to get on a pipe smoker. Also, you don't usually get the thin blue smoke on the 20 inch, but there is so much air flow that it doesn't overly smoke the meat making it bitter. The only thing that I don't like about it is the length of the firebox. I usually get my wood splits 18 inches long and the firebox will only hold up to 12 inch logs, so I usually have to cut mine down a bit or just cut them in half. It's not really a game changer, but thought I'd mention it. She is a fabulous offset type smoker!
