Fact.

Yeah! My first thought!!😎

Can you grill on it?

@@ballforlife6523 yes you can grill or smoke, just bought one

Im about to light the charcoals on mine! Wish me luck

Bout to fire mine up for the first time and season it... first smoker I owned

@@mariofernandez6930 my first cook this weekend went great, somewhat haha. The smoker performed great, me on the other hand, not so well. My ribs were tough! But it was an error on my part. Its gonna take many ruined meats before we get the hang of it

It it awesome.

Yeah, the factory can leave behind a lot. And it's good for the metal.

Good man. The extras will make your life just a little easier.

They definitely help. Another thing that helps is, measure the outer diameter of your stack. Go to a muffler shop and have them cut you a 20" pipe of either 3" or 3.5" to go on top of your existing pipe (its either 3" or 3.5" depending on make, measure it first!). Helps with draw 1000%. You'll thank me later.

B'S BBQ thanks 👍🏽

Good call.

I also always throw some sausages on at the end of my cook. They don’t take too long and they use up the fire

I've no better answer than...because. lol. Idk, habit maybe.

@@BSBBQ lol...fare enough. I've got the reverse flow solid baffle plate and water pan coming, and then it's burn-in time for me. After a conversation with those good folks, I'll be seasoning mine with a dry water pan. I'll oil the outside of the pan and leave the inside dry. Thanks for your honest reply as I was wondering if there was a specific reason. Good smoke'n to you!

i think that one comes standard with seal, but you can buy felt for it with high temp adhesion tap (just google : smoker seal and you wil find it ;) )

You certainly can, I dont find it necessary. Happy smoking.

LOL!

Go buy one, they're cheap. If not, buy a fire starter such as the "tumbleweed" or the like.

Awesome. Smoke on!

Never had much time after seasoning it for 4 hours ,done beef sausages and burgers super impressed the family

They are all over ebay. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=smoker+clamps&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=smoker+grates

Sure can. Not too much point in it. But go to town!

I have a WHOLE other video about the mods on my smoker and what I would/wouldn't do again.

@@BSBBQ ok I'll check it out.

Good question. Just the first time.

Just the first time works but ive seen a few people recommend 1-2 times a year.....depends really but i think 1 good time is enough :D

@@BSBBQ hey thanks for the reply

Gotta have the bloopers.

Yup. Dont have a puddle of oil there, but yeah. Same concept

Not 7nless you do a crazy deep clean.

Lavalock. They have a website and are on Amazon.

I generally just do it the one time. Then if I do a deep clean, I'll one-season it.

Good questions. Run it at around 225 to 250. And yes, a rince is always good.

@@BSBBQ thank you for the responses

@@BSBBQ another question would you recommend degreaser for a first time cleaning?

@@apimpnamedsirslickback Nope, some simple dawn dish soap or the sort and a hose will do just fine.

@@BSBBQ appreciate you brother

Oklahoma joe Longhorn reverse flow. You can get them at many stores. I ordered mine offline from Lowe's.

@@BSBBQ Sounds good, Thank you

That'd work just fine.

Pit boss grills and smokers have a very nice high temp powder coat. Had a verticle smoker from them until the glass broke. They make some great food!

I explain that in my mods video. Just takes a step drill and gasket.

Duke I believe that’s a smoke defuser. Oklahoma joes brand come with it.

Shouldn't be so long as you take care of it. You can always spray the inside with pam and run it at about 250 for a few hours.

I found it hard to keep temps up in it, too. It's a cheap smoker.

Great vid btw!😎

Did you at least hit them with some lighter fluid and light it up so the factory metal fabrication oil could burn off..?

Yup, everything

do you season your grates? i've read some people say they don't because the grates are porcelain coated.

I do. You dont NEED to season these grates for that reason.

The cheapest one you can find

before

Great question. For smoking especially, since it takes a while to get your pit up to temp I'd say it is just fine. It will all burn off. I use charcoal to start the wood and nothing more. I would however, ditch the lighter fluid and go with a firestarter. Google tumbleweed firestarters or weber makes some cheapos. Can get them off Amazon.

B'S BBQ Thanks for sharing information.............

No. avoid it when you can. the fluid usually gets absorbed into ALL the nooks and crannies in the coals, and I swear that I can taste gasoline in my food even when the BBQ chef lets it cook off for a LONG time before smoking. You'll find a method that works for starting your coals that doesn't introduce a bunch of fossil fuel carbon poisons to your grill, and you'll become a true pitmaster!

Stay away from lighter fluid

Use a chimney starter. Starts just as fast with out lighter fluid.

A Ali yes it’s true. I do it to all my smokers !

Lavalock

Once. Or if you do a super deep clean.

This is a link to the latches on amazon. amzn.to/2RASTOQ

You could but if you season it season it the right way and use wood. After that you can use charcoal to your hearts content but the first initial season do it it right!

Gotta pay to play bro.

A charcoal chimney and a solid firestarter or newspaper balled up under the chimney

Here's a video on an easy way to light a grill kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5ucasiQx72shIk.html

Get yourself a box of tealight white candles, probably about $12.00 at any sporting goods/camping section at any Superstore such as Walmart and just slap one of those lil buggers on the grill, in a dish, you don't want the wax going over your grill, gotta let some people know that. Light it set your chimney over it, grab a beverage and let the show begin!!! That is all there is to it. No, "did the paper towels or that wad of paper go out". Those tealight candles are used on outdoor tables in all the 5 Star Resorts around the Country and the one thing they are known for is not going out while the good fine folks are eating their dinner, even on a simi-windy day!!! You can take that to the bank.

I dont. Both at once is recommended.

You get what you pay for. Let's be honest.

baby oil

Coconut Oil and make sure she is smoking hot. Don't use baby oil, thats 18 years of responsibility.

If she’s fat use bacon grease

They sell it on Oklahoma joes website

It treats the metal to prevent rust.

He may be happy that you dont have his wife...

ctfu!

Note to self: Don’t eat Jerry’s food from the grill.

Badfinger Your points are well taken but misguided! The problem is that this smoker is not cast iron it is steel! In addition the seasoning of say a cast iron griddle or pan is for the purpose of keeping foods from sticking. And it takes numerous uses and years before cast iron is truly seasoned and you never use soaps to clean cast iron. Finally what was accomplished here was removing as much factory residues as possible before 1st cooking use. And it won’t hurt steel to take a day and give steel another oiling. Personally I prefer peanut oil because it has a very high smoking temperature.

Hold my pocket Gaming good question. It is to prevent rust and make it easier to clean. Same idea as seasoning cast iron.

Oh alright :) then i dont have to do it i guess since my smoker is stainless :P thank you for a great video and the fast response

Fair use act

Mike Caldwell I can counter by saying why buy such an expensive smoker when you can buy this semi expensive smoker and smoke amazing meat? Is it some kind of fad or something to be led like a sheep to the most expensive products, eating a salesman’s ignorant speech just to get you to spend more?

It’s also called food grade high temp RTV gasket maker so it’s not the same as the RTV you would use on say a transmission or engine oil pan. It’s also waste of time not waist like your hip waist.

voltage80x i will agree to disagree 🤷🏾‍♂️ at the end of the day you have a right to do whatever you want.

NRL Online Sim Racing thanks for pointing that out. Seems like I got under your skin a bit 🤷🏾‍♂️

What? Lol

James Lemon- 🤣🤣 coming from a guy who’s got zero content on his channel I don’t think you are even qualified to say anything. Why not elaborate on your methods instead of just calling him a rookie? As far as I can tell his method so far is better than yours.

When i was in the business of BBQ . My smoker was seasoned with only hickory wood. I use no charcoal nor starting fluid. When i prepared my meets i never used liquid smoke. I made my own BBQ sauce from scratch. I ran my business for 3 years.

My customers told me i had better BBQ then all the restruants where i live. My experience as a cook was assistant chef. I'm an experienced meat cutter having worked in beef,pork and poultry slaughterhouse. I worked as a meat cutter in grocery store. Then a proprietor of cafe with one parking spot. My customers were v.a. employees and walkins. I raised two daughters with average bills like anyone else. I consider myself more then qualified in providing an opinion.
