Over cooked

I have a 22” Kettle and a 22” Smokey Mountain. If I had started out with a 26” Kettle I would have never bought the WSM.

That looks like an 18 in. Does 26 make it look that much smaller? Love my Weber kettles!

Great point! Using the flat side of grates ❤

What's dirt cheap?

lame

Considering a Judge. After several years now, how is it holding up? Read things about the weld quality. Especially the lid hinges.

Lmao "All right roll" 🤣 thank you for the review my guy

Who doesn't love the Gabagool

3 hrs in on a brisket smoke 👍👍

How many pounds is that brisket?

I've tried voodoo on chicken, and it was way too salty. I prefer voodoo on larger cuts of meat (pork butt, brisket) because of the amount of salt. I dont care for it on any other cuts of meat. Just my opinion.

Day'em! Is that on the Rambler?

Great tip, Goo! I can't wait for it to cool down so I can cook on the Rambler again.

Everything you say makes sense but the thing works very nicely.

I was given a Rambler a couple years ago and yours was one of the first reviews I found. I have grilled and smoked some great food on that thing.

Now Imma hafta go buy a Porterhouse. Looks amazing!

Thanks for the review. Just got the judge couple of months ago

nice

I don't ever lid a steak. But that could've been the issue.

Neeeeed mooooore

Moooore

This box is great. It’s not supposed to have air flow because it’s designed to burn coal at a low temp over time. I use this in The Judge. It keeps one chimneys worth of coal burning at 250 for over 4 hours. Essential if you’re doing slow and low cooks on a coal grill and you don’t want to tend to your fire every 45 minutes.

Why don't you try and use it and see if it works. Don't go by what other say.

As a Texan who is well versed in low and slow cooking, I must correct you on one thing. The Texas crutch is not a lighting device. The TX crutch is when a brisket hits the stall, and you wrap it in foil. I do like the torch, but I’d probably light my house on fire by accident 😂

What temp was it at when you pulled it off the smoker? Was your goal not to do pulled pork? A properly cooked butt should shred when pulled.

Yo what did you think of those Thaan logs ?!

I’m sold. Buying one.

my family's elderly, feeble German Wirehair always started bouncing whenever I brough home ribs😂

I have my rambler now for year and half. Love the little guy! Amazing grill/smoker for the money. I smoke briskets and ribs on it ( small of course ) but I can do a decent smoke for 6 hours on a rambler and it works awesome as a grill! I paid around $300 for it and it is well worth it

The reason the SNS does not work with the temperature gauge is that the Kettle comes with charcoal baskets and put them on either side of the kettle with the protein in the middle (indirect cooking). Then the protein is in the middle with the thermometer which should give a more accurate reading.

Not supposed to have airfow...supposed to burn chunks of wood slow... we always used a steel bucket with no holes and it worked great

Thank you.

He has a way with words when tasting the ribs

Your audio is awful

Bang bang niner gang!!!

I vote for the Weber 37.

Dayem! I quess I’m doing steaks this wkend instead of the chicken I plant on doin’. I watch a lot of grillin’ videos and yours are the only ones that make laugh.

I’ve ran into the same thing from some of the steaks I get from the local butcher. It’s like they cook differently and sometimes I feel like they’re overcooked, but they’re not. I don’t know it’s weird.! I’m really tempted to get a smaller grill so I don’t have to light up the judge every time. Also respect that you don’t drink and even though it look like you were drinking a beer, you’re not ashamed to say it wasn’t alcoholic! I haven’t drank since 2011ish!

Dam. I’m hungry now. Yes is weird of the white meat. Looks like it cooked fast. Should a been pink.

I can't make up my mind if I want to buy the judge or the longhorn smoker. Which one would you choose and why? I've never used a smoker before or have eaten anything that was cooked in a smoker so I don't know. I definitely would like to learn how to smoke a brisket or a lamb or even a fish, But mostly I would like to use it for everyday cooking, like steak, chicken sausage... I already have a Blackstone griddle so I only have room for 1 more toy, but I can't make up my mind. PS. I have lots of wood stored up from my oak tree that I cut down in front of my house and I want to use it.

Today (6-8-2024), this grill is priced anywhere from $1,600.00 to $1,850.00... wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too high!! I'd say $350.00 would be enough. It's big but if a person wanted to spend scratching $2,000.00, the "Weber Summit Kamado" would be a much better purchase. Currently, that's priced from $1,249.00 to $2,149.00. This thing is certainly a "ranch" grill (fit perfectly in Montana) but it's wayyyyyyyy overpriced! No thermometer? The kettle looks big and heavy; the frame appears to be built heavy; I suppose the wheels are plastic. Do you think a person could put a smaller diameter charcoal grate in there to lower the coals? Would that work? Maybe put a 26" or a 24" or a 22" or something to lower it? It would take 200 lbs. of charcoal to cover the charcoal grate! LOL! I'm hoping that you stole this for $150.00... I'm hopeful! Gotta get a good deal once in a while. :)

That is good lookin brisket! Bark also looks very good. I have several killer hogs rubs on my shelve but i just bought brisket and gonna smoke it on few days, im gonna season it with little KH ap seasoning and alot of that steak rub.

Dont know if someone already mentioned it. But I had the same problem with their thermometer until I calibrated it with boiling water. Now its about 15-20° hotter on the OK JOE thermometer compared to digital one. Which is expected because its on top I suppose.🤷🏻‍♂️

now at HD

I ended up drilling holes all around the box and it still wasn't enough airflow. Also the seems on the corners started to separate on my box. I thought it was going to be a good purchase, but it turned out to be completely unnecessary for my Judge.

125 degrees* you over cooked it

2 years later he is still checking those ribs lol
