Thank you brotha! Appreciate the compliment!

Right on

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Preston!

Good call, I got it going right now and about to hit it with the oil!

I just never found the need to bash other cooking methods, there are places in the world that use a shovel and a hole in the ground to make delicious food. Doesn’t really matter what you use, just make great bbq! I just got a Weber Smokey Mountain, so I’m entering into the barrel arena, looking forward using it!

It's a Charley bot🤣🤣🤣

Hahahaha, that's some funny stuff Pickles! Just getting back into youtube after a break. We are doing well and I hope you are too!

Thank you!

Thank you bro, appreciate it!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

I appreciate that, Thank you!

Thank you, comments like this keep me going 👍👊👊. You can do all of the above, know a lot of people that do. They’ll add bricks in the main chamber to help maintain heat also. Biggest thing when adding charcoal/fuel in the main chamber is lining it with a tinfoil tray or tinfoil on the bottom for easy clean up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9xzksx3tJbZf4k.html

Thank you!

Thank you!

That’s a good call, I have a bunch of trimmings I was going to make tallow with anyway!

Haha, so true. You see my hands getting redder and redder throughout the video 😂

Glad to hear it!

Basically a little thicker than sheet metal. Not a thick gauge smoker at all 😬

Yeahhhhhh, that would of been the smart thing to do! Being lazy has its downfalls. Thanks for watching!

Sounds like a plan, I'll put it on the list and will get to it in the next few weeks. What do you mean lean it to the wood, so I can hit that topic better?

I meant that you might place a higher emphasis on using wood to replenish the coal bed, and only adding charcoal when wood becomes too tricky of an option for whatever reason. (so a mostly wood burning fire) The Mad Scientist BBQ video I referred to before was using an extremely tiny and cheaply made offset, and he effectively teaches you to run it like a weber kettle; add coal when the heat goes too low, and add tiny splits for flavor and, yes, to extend the life of the coal base. I would say he leans into the charcoal for fuel in that video. whereas your last fire management tutorial leans into wood. . . Sorry for the confusing expression, mate. :P

@@nickmarkham3743 ahhhh, I gotcha. That’s a good point. I thought you were referencing his big smoker wood only videos, forgot about the charcoal one he did. Yes, that’s actually a great video topic. The right splits size to keep your wood going. Thanks for the idea!

Yeah, the right size wood and when to add charcoal, if at all. Jeremy did that video using a small offset, where charcoal really should be your main heat source; but we're working with medium sized pits -- your stockades, longhorns, and grand champs -- where running all wood fires are actually doable, but apparently not always optimal. That's what I'm curious to see from you. Where's that middle ground. (and with that OK Joe's charcoal basket, you might be able to really show the full range; all coal, all wood, and the inbetweens. ) Really looking forward to it, mate!

I couldn’t find the right size either so finally went out and bought a sawzall. amzn.to/3cRhGt9

@@ComparisonCooking Thanks I just bought one, and should be here by the weekend.

This firebox was big enough where I didn't experience it right away, but most of the home depot pits, the paint will eventually chip off, and you can either keep spray can oiling it or repaint with high temp paint.

Haha, something like that. Can't remember the last time I used it and think I've gone to the traeger the last few time for ease.

It looks like it’s been discontinued, company went radio silent on them. I bought an Oklahoma Joe to start covering topics on that smoker for viewers.

That smoker exploded in popularity last year. My Friend over at the Gallery Backyard video did a ton of videos on it. He liked it a lot. There were definitely some issues with the unit because it burned so hot, some people complained about it all the time and others just worked with what they got. They were cooking on it so much that it burned it down pretty quickly. If you find it for a good price it will last you a couple a years. Check out his channel/facebook group to get all the info you want on it. Thanks for watching.
