You're very fortunate in that your brick wall is the perfect height so you can make a little auxiliary roof from a sheet of plywood, you can toss up on top of it to protect the smoker if you want to smoke in the rain. Just make 2 legs to support the open end, where you stand. Be sure to get a nice, heavy duty cover for the smoker, though.

@richardpare3538 2 ай бұрын

@@anthonyjordan5723: Oh, are you now ever going to have some great meals and gain some weight! 🤣 I weould suggest securing it somehow to the brick wall - it will be a prime item to get stolen. And take the flue off when you aren't using it - crooks will see it sticking up over the top of the wall and check to see what it is. Also, get a tarp to cover it with, or get a custom cover made for it - unless you oil it almost constantly, it WILL rust!

100% Correct. I’ve sold 1,000’s of pounds myself here in middle Tennessee. It can be an EXTREMELY cocky and OCD triggering in the world of smoking and barbecue. 😂😂😂 The HELL I use to catch because of the temp I run and my use of foil??? I’ve always ran a little hotter and faster because I was a one man operation feeding hundreds a day. And I’m a foil lover because I save as much drippings ( aka liquid gold) as I possibly can.

I'd go with a couple coats of paint, and a polyurethane sealer, to protect it from the 191 days of rain, and all winter long. The advantage is that even if it gets scratched up, it can be quickly repaired with another coat of polyurethane (after sanding, of course).

You need to invest in some kind of canvas roof/tent that sits considerably high over your outdoor kitchen/cooking area. So you can cook easier in the rain, but also simply so less water falls on the thing in the first place. Also hope you invested in a bunch of high quality wireless temp probes/thermometers. Aside from the traditional US BBQ meats.... don't hide from your Englishness. You have a MUCH better availability of high quality mutton than most of us, and can take advantage of that.

Been using an offset for almost 40yrs. You’ll hear so many suggestions that you might become confused with all of the info. Here’s my advice 😉; learn how to build a fire and keep it burning. Don’t choke it and let it produce clean, almost clear smoke. The smoke can add perfect flavor or it can add a bitter, acrid flavor if you smolder your fire. The best way to learn is to cook on it. Be your own pit master !! Cheers! ❤ Oh,! and buy a quality cover for the pit. You don’t want it exposed to rain. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Start simple and smoke some chicken thighs. It's hard to mess up but you easilybuild confidence. Move on to pork loin, pork butt or shoulder and then ribs. Once comfortable with chicken and pork, then move on to beef brisket. Starting off simple helps you learn what your smoker does. What spot runs hot, what spot is cooler. How much wood to add to get to a certain temperature. How to drop the temperature. Do I spray down or baste, or should I wrap it with a liquid when it reaches a certain temperature.

Tried to buy a Traeger from a family friend who wouldn't let me, and instead just gave it to me. Let's just say, every time I fire it up, the neighbors are looking to see what's going on haha. Beautiful thing about BBQ is you usually make too much for your family and get to share it with them. When they tried my ribs the last time, they told me it's the best if not one of the best ribs they have had in their lives. It's probably my 15-20th rack I've done as it's probably the easiest and most forgivable cut of meat you can do on there. I also recently did some New York strips in there for about 45 minutes, flipping the meat half way through, then reverse seering on a pan. Absolute perfection on the cook and it was honestly the best steak i've ever had that wasnt at a restaurant. And thats a freakin Walmart NY Strip lol. Cant wait to keep up with your guys progress!

I love smoking meats. My dad taught me to do it when I was little and it's something I really enjoy the process of. It's definitely a labor of love. Seeing you enjoy setting it up and taking such pride in it is giving me life. Your neighbors are going to be lining up at your gate when they get a whiff of that pork smoking!!

As a born and raised Texan who grew up 2 miles from Buc-Ees #1 I am jealous of that smoker!

@joneakins2191 2 ай бұрын

I recently moved to Ohio, 1 week into the new home I'd set up my smoker. Got a huge Boston butt and some chicken breast... filled my cooler with ice and beer/soda... then we printed about 10 flyers and posted then on our neighbors doors. Invited them for BBQ pulled pork sandwiches and BBQ chicken, beer and soda, baked beans and smoked Mac n Gouda Cheese... we had about 30 people with their kids included. Huge success, new friends! You'll never fail to make friends when ya have a smoker! Try Italian Sausage bangers with Mixed peppers and onions on a hoagie roll... awesome smoked. I recently did stuffed peppers on the smoker too. ENJOY it!! 😊

I worked for a BBQ company that won the DC cookoff for many years. One bit of info that nobody really will give you is no matter what brand, style, shape, or price........EVERY smoker/ bbq grill has a personality. You will find there are areas in the smoker that get hotter and others dont. You will have to LEARN your smokers personality through trial and error. Do not give up. Keep trying different temps, placements, etc until you learn yours. Good luck from America!!!!!!!

Holy Heck Mr. and Mrs. and Baby H! In the US these retail for $5,155 so that puts you in the uber serious, professional class of smokers with that lofty investment.

You MUST smoke some brisket as well!! BTW..Try to get a COVER for that Smoker. Regardless of the Oil based Seasoning Technique...it is still a good idea to protect this Bad Boy from the elements as best you can!! Good Luck and Bon Appetit! Also..don't be a afraid to get Olivia on board with this. None of her friends will get to learn the craft of smoking like she will!👍😊

I would suggest chaining that smoker down and making sure your back gate has a good lock on it.

@bdctrans70 Ай бұрын

Excellent choice, now time to play and learn. Each smoker has a life and personality, take time to learn it and just try everything, you will make mistakes, but use them as a learning curve. Have a great time using it!

4:18- Like a glove! seriously though if it had been one size bigger that thing would have had to be craned from the street into the yard haha. Also my vote fort a name is " The Beast" lol, because that is a beastly looking smoker. Congrats on upgrading your smoker, it was crazy seeing your old one next to the new one haha. Can''t wait to follow your bbq journey, BBQ is my big thing too so I'm excited.

This smoker is amazing but YOU GUYS HAVE A LITTLE BLACK CAT?! I do too! I couldn’t hear the name. I have a feeling that Elana will want a little smoker when she grows to be a chef. I say call the smoker Franklin. Ain’t no one else got a Franklin within a hundred…kilometers of you. The names already in the side. Franklin.

Mrs. H was so tentative in her first few appearances and now you're both old pros and look like you were raised in (British) Hollywood families! This smoker is a HUGE commitment, and I congratulate you.

A word of advice from a born and raised Texan smoking BBQ for years. Your fire box will appreciate and BENEFIT from a small fan approx 1 meter away pointed straight at the bottom of the coals. I have a pit near a wall and always had temperature issues until I added a small fan. Trust me you will see the difference in the quality of your smoke flavor!

@lovefaith6285 Ай бұрын

I don't know if y'all have dried pinto beans but here is a recipe/suggestion you can use with the smoked pork belly... 1cup pinto beans cleaned and washed. Soak beans in water overnight to reduce cooking time. 2 1/2 cups water or chicken broth 2 garlic cloves diced half onion diced 2 - 3oz smoked pork belly Pepper&salt to taste Add all ingredients to a pot, bring to a boil and then turn down flame to med/low. Cook until beans are soft. You can add chopped cilantro after it's done, if you don't have it it's ok. Adding smoked pork belly or any smoked meat to beans is always a win. Sending y'all love from Texas.✌💜🤠🐂
