Just got a message from FatStack about availability:
Great video Jeremy, and thanks for the amazing feedback 🙏🤯🍖 Hey everybody we’re taking pre-orders for these models and would be happy to help-call 213.290.5096 or email info@fatstacksmokers.com to get started!
I placed my order after one of your first videos. I got the Fs-80
@@abelodena7164 same, wanted the larger, but aye....3500 is 3500
@@goldengun2091 is that how much the 80 or 120 was?
@@jamesgunn5358 the 80
3500 for the 80 , 4200 for 120 without upgrades or shipping according to website
This video led me to place an order with Fatstack, it’s been over 2 years, no smoker, out $4k, I think you should comment on that, people are still watching this video and want a smoker From Fatstack.
Your content is great regardless of the shenanigans that is going on at Fatstack.
Jeremys a freaking fraud for keeping this video up knowing the crap Eric from fatcrap is doing to ppl.
This happened to me
I watched Jeremy's video a year ago, and I put a $500.00 deposit
I lost it to Fatstack
Not Jeremy Yoder's fault, but I hope he addresses the situation in a video soon
Agreed. Not Jeremy's fault but this video out there still can be dangerous for people. I noticed this in the description "2023 Update: Do not buy a FatStack Smoker. " though honestly I think Jeremy should do more. Maybe take this video down or do a re-edit with a warning etc.
I just wanted to tell you that you have been able to teach me how to BBQ by watching your videos. Not only have I learned fire management but I’ve also learned how to consistently produce good food. I followed your steps on how to smoke a chicken and it turned out better than any chicken I’ve ever had. Same with brisket, and pork shoulder, and ribs. Thank you very much. I used to think I’d never beat my old man’s bbq but I can say without a doubt that I have thanks to you. Thank you 100 times over.
BEWARE BBQ BROTHERS!!! I have been waiting 20+ months as have most Fat Stack "buyers" for what turned out to be Fat Stacks "invest in me" campaign. They have delivered very few after demanding nonrefundable payment in advance. See their Sept 1st 2023 video delivers the news they now don't have a supplier for the pipe..., I'd reconsider "buying one" until they start delivering pre funded orders en masse. Good people but their backyard BBQ business plan execution has been met with far too many setbacks.
You easily have the most informative cooking/smoking channel on TH-cam. I come not knowing what to expect and leave feeling like I could teach a class on the same subject.
Hey Jeremy - you have become my go to barbecue resource! Thanks for all the great content. Sorry I missed you in Houston last week.
No worries! Glad you like the channel
Great video Jeremy!!!!! Looks like a very nice smoker!
Thanks T-Roy! Am I seeing you in Miami in a few weeks?
This isn’t just my favorite BBQ channel on YT - it’s my favorite channel period.
If information is power you are the superman of BBQ! I watch your videos over and over and they have definitely made me a better back yard bbq pit master.. at least at my house.. lol.. keep'm coming cause I can can always learn something new from your videos! And I really loved the video about the pellets.. it kinda proved a point I was trying to make with a friend. The only wood that is all natural wood is just that, wood! I just got a Old Country Brazos and all I want to do bbq every day, and thanks to your videos the product I make is much better than it used to be! Keep doing what you do!
The best bbq guy right here. I learned everything from your videos. I love how in depth you go and all your experiments. I'll be retiring the cheap royal gourmet offset for a brazos as soon as it's in stock. Love your videos man keep killing it
Hey I really appreciate the support!
My brazos was a lot of trouble and I dumped it after only one year. A good value in steel weight, sure, but not a very great pit. Just my 2 cents…
@@JLEMS what kind of trouble?
@@SaltPepperFire I really don’t think the firebox is big enough. I don’t think the stack is tall enough. There’s a baffle where the firebox enters the cook chamber. All these things cause it to draw quite poorly, and if you get it drawing it will draw way to aggressively and the heat does some wild stuff, like ride the bottom of the cook chamber all the way. Door leaks, uneven temps, super long cook times. I was meticulous with everything and it was still a challenge. Conversely, a better pit, the cook is a pleasure.
@@MadScientistBBQ Collectors do make a difference. I could send 2 models with different Collectors to review.
I see a new Mad Scientist BBQ video uploaded, it’s an instant watch for me. Great stuff man
Thanks man!
Yodster You have been a great Jedi Master for me on my quest for superior backyard BBQ taste. I am using a treager pellet smoker and your advise and techniques have transformed my BBQ confidence. Please post when you will be visiting CA again. I could see your channel going to the next level.
Anxiously waiting for this!!!! Thx for the content
👍🏻
I really like the 80, maybe in a few years when the kid is out of college ill treat myself for all those years of working. Great video
You’ve earned it!!
I'm sure the kid and his kids will appreciate it. It looks like it will last 2 generations at the least
@@isaacreicin4836 yup hopefully by then it won't be illegal to smoke meat lol
@@opiumextract2934 lol
Superb, Jeremy. I frigging love your videos, Man
Thanks! Really glad you enjoy them
Thanks for the video. As always... Good information.
Been waiting to hear from you on these…can’t wait to see the upcoming cooks. Love that pan filler spout & your info RE it letting out the hottest air up front to even it out down the pipe, that’s great.
Yeah I want to do some testing with that
@@MadScientistBBQ nice…can’t wait for your findings/vid follow up 👍
Started with an Charbroil electric, then a RecTec pellet and now an offset. Spent way to much time researching (if thats what you wanna call it) and trying to decide on an offset. I wanted to purchase a lifelong smoker that'll outlast me. Truth is there are a lot of great options and I would have been happy with anyone of them I'm sure. But in the end I did end up going with a FS80. Just got my confirmation call today. Its a long wait... but I'm pretty stoked. Never thought I would get so into this hobby/lifestyle if you will.
Let me know how it goes! I’m 19 and wanna get into offset smoking, thinking about the Oklahoma joe but might just save up a little more and go for a old country Brazos
Where I live the Oklahoma Joe Highland and the Weber Smokey Mountain are the same price. Which one should I go for?
@@astonifyed if it was me I’d go with the OJ
@@astonifyed did u make the purchase?
@@shoemanque Sorry I missed your previous comment! I haven't made a purchase yet but after hearing Mad Scientist BBQ talk about it it seems like offset gives the best results, I think I'll go with the Oklahoma Joe.
I have a custom built reverse flow offset smoker. It has a fairly large cook chamber (60"x20") and a high stack. I ended up getting a waterproof UTV cover off amazon for like $50. I was pleasantly surprised with how perfect of a solution that was for covering a large, bulky, irregular shaped smoker. If you are struggling to find a cover for your smoker, look into that.
Great idea!
Make a video of it! I got a offset reverse flow as well (stainless steel) not quite done yet! Happy smoken!
The pipe on these comes off in minutes. I wonder if the pipe fits in the cook chamber? That wild make covering it much easier.
Could you fit the stack in the cover or did you remove the stack? Checking them out on Amazon
I have a smoker from Smokin Pitts & Custom Sitts, and boiled linseed oil works great for preventing rust... Apply the boiled linseed oil with the blue automotive paper towels (they absorb the oil well and have a high heat tolerance) and after a few applications the smoker will no longer rust. Cost about $7 at Home Depot.
Love your videos keep it up I look forward to future episodes
Thanks!
I love your videos Jeremy, You have helped my bbq cooks so much. I just ordered the Workhorse 1975, went with the Workhorse because they offer decent shipping (and looks like a good pit) I'm like 2500 miles from Fatstack so not really the best option for me to pick up. I would love to see a video comparing the Fatstack and the 1975,
I’m trying to make that happen!
with their recent price jump i'm gunna have to settle for the 1969, i'm just worried about the head room on the second rack not being big enough. super hard to find any videos or in depth analysis on the workhorse pits. probably going to order one in the next few weeks.
@@jakewoodisgood1 I’m hoping to film with one soon.
@@jakewoodisgood1 you will love the 1969 and the delivery was well worth it.
@@LosGatosGTR just ordered it! (The 1969) Was gunna wait but their popularity is exploding right now so I didn't want to get to far behind on the inevitable backorders.
One thing that bummed me out when I went to order one is their facility won’t be up and ready until the end of 2022 (probably) and they have no timeline as to when they could be delivered. The discount they are offering to early buyers is nice, but I have a hard time putting money down on something that isn’t even in real production yet. Since I’m in the market now, I’m likely gonna go with the work horse 1975. Love your videos!
Same here, I was ready to order the FatStack 120... I also looked @ the Workhorse 1975 (great looking cooker) but ended up ordering a LSG 24X60 offset w/warming oven.
And they require a non-refundable deposit. And "hope" to start making them by the end of 2022. And won't give a shipping cost. It's like a go fund me campaign.
@@MrMarnold6 that was exactly my thought. I was almost insulted when I found out the details. Wish they were more upfront on their website or even even with Mad Scientist BBQ
Great info here Jeremy. Thanks for putting this one up.
I’m still in love with my custom Lone Star Grills 30” vertical.
Nice! How long have you had it?
@@MadScientistBBQ it was delivered November of last year.
Weighs 1700 lbs….best airflow I’ve ever had in an offset.
@@BBQROCKSTAR178 wow awesome!
When cooking on the top grate, how does the temperature compare to the bottom grate? In my own offset, the air at the top is much hotter than grate level and I would never be able to smoke something closer to the top of the chamber. Thanks for all your videos, I’ve learned so much watching them!
I'll be happy to share my WH 1975 with you to review if you can make it to florida.great video brother 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!! but I think I just found one I can use about an hour away
Waiting on this. My Workhorse is still about 4-5 months out.
@@ronsykora972 it’s worth it👍👍👍
Love the videos Jeremy! I can't wait to pick up my 288 gallon trailer from fatstack. Yeah 288 gallons is big for a backyard but my backyard is a couple acres and someone once said think of the maximum number of people you might cook for and then double it....so 288 gallons it is. Now I have 11 more months to tell the wife I bought a 288 gallon smoker....on a trailer 😂. Wish me luck.
😂😂😂
Ok, so I ordered the 288 back in October of ‘21 (mostly because of your videos and they WERE in California) and picked it up September of ‘23 after having to ship it back to California because they up and moved to Texas. What a disaster, but I feel lucky to have anything with all that has gone on since.
Great video Jeremy! I've placed my order for the FS120 last month. But prior to that I was on the fence looking at Mill Scale 94 gallon and Work Horse Pit 1975. Since I live in California, I went with Fatstacks. I've also been on waiting list for Shirley Fabrication Reverse Flow smoker since June 2020. Just wanted to say thank you for the great videos and looking forward for more cooks on the FatStack smoker!
@Liftalot247 how long did it take to get your smoker. I am also stuck between the work horse, mill scale and the fatstack. I guess the quickest delivery will be the decision as they all have good features.
thanks for your videos on Fatstacks, got a chance to talk with Eric about getting the 80. Super nice guy who took his time to answer all of questions, and he grew up in Michigan so that was the nail in the coffin to lock in my order. Thanks agian for all of your videos.
Another great in-depth, honest review. I can’t wait until you get ahold of the Workhorse Pits 1975. I’ve narrowed my decision down to the 1975 and the Brazos, but there are only like 5-10 videos total on the 1975 that I’ve found. Trying to see if the price difference between that and the Brazos is worth it from what I’m trying to do. Anyways, keep up the great work man. I’ve learned a ton over the years from your content.
Thanks! I’m trying to work out a video on a 1975. I have heard really good things but I haven’t used it
I have the workhorse pits 1969, I believe it is 3/8 inch steel and it does have an available cover. Cooks very well and produces great bark. Easy fire management due to thermal mass.
@@LosGatosGTR thanks for the info on the 1969!
After a year With the brazos, I went with the 1969 and if I could do it over, I’d go straight to the workhorse. Brazos has a LOT of faults.
@Scott Robinson and @J LEMS, any regrets on not getting the 1975? Honestly the 1957 would probably be just enough for me. That's about the same size as the Brazos if I'm not mistaken. I'm betting the 1975 for $400 more is probably overkill but still.... Lol don't want to sitting around wishing. Then again that $400 could go towards firewood and meat.
Finally back from some traveling, so any questions you have, I’ll try to be around to respond for the next several days.
FatStack, Millscale, Franklin?
@@matthewhairell1456 well the fatstack is definitely better than the Franklin. Haven’t gotten to cook on a mill scale.
How many slabs of St. Louis style ribs could you fit on the 120 Jeremy?
@@CarlosRamirez-xx1zt not sure. My guess is 12
Jeremey, can you make videos using Weber kettles and/or ugly drum smokers.
I started on a charcoal grill using indirect heat and wood chunks. Im so pumped to get my first offset. Gonna go with an old country brazos
Great video and honest comments. Have a 1975 on the way and have been watching your videos. First offset, super excited.
FINALLY! Now I just have to wait a year and a half...
I can't wait to get my FS-80! I was all set to get the Brazos until I saw your previous video. I think it'll be worth the wait. Would it be beneficial for me (someone who has never had a stick burner) to get something like an Oklahoma Joe Highland to learn the ropes? I've initially decided that I should just wait for the 80 to get here, and stick with my WSM and Weber kettle in the interim. I kinda have the itch to try offset smoking before next year, however. What a conundrum I find myself in 😂
Well it will make you appreciate the fatstack but it might also make you frustrated because they are much harder to manage. I have no clue what the wait times are but it may be worth your while
@@MadScientistBBQ Appreciate the reply, Jeremy. Offset smoking is something that I never thought I'd want to do until I starting binging on your videos. I really appreciate how well you break down the process and explain it to people like me that have never attempted it.
I have a ok joe highland and it is in fact extremely frustrating to manage sometimes. But also having one, makes me want to be a better smoker. I also have the 80 on pre order. And in the meantime I'll be rocking the ok joes highland. If you want to get in the game of offset smoking amd get your hands on learning the ropes see whats available on Craigslist or offer up etc.. i see ok joes in my area for $100 on offer up
@@gregory2709 thanks! I hope it helps when you get an offset!
@@Thetugisthedrug thanks! Maybe I’ll look into getting a used one in the interim
Thanks Jeremy for the informative video. You are awesome. Waiting on my May 2022 date for my 120!!
Jeremy, thanks for the review! Any chance you can grab a temp reading of the griddle/top of firebox? I’d be curious to know how hot that can get.
Jeremy, why don't you try to make your own line of smokers? Take everything you know and love about all the different types of smokers you have used and put them into what you would consider your "perfect smoker" i'd buy one 👍
I would love to do that but I don’t have the cash to make that happen. I might find someone who would work with me but I haven’t found anything feasible yet.
@@MadScientistBBQ maybe Fatstack will do a Jeremy Yoder or mad scientist bbq line at some point!
@@brettsbbq2567 I think they just did!
So can I have your Franklin then? I’ll come get it - I only live an hour away! 😀
I am contemplating doing a give-away. I mentioned that but it got edited out.
Awesome video, really appreciate your informative and unbiased opinion. I've already got one ordered. Your video just makes me wish the delivery date was sooner. I am very confident it'll be worth the wait. Thanks for the great content!
Out of curiosity when are they projecting your delivery?
@@MadScientistBBQ December 31, 2022. But as I understand it, it's under a bit of a contingency of a few things. They're doing a whole seperate line and new facility for the FS backyard pits, which is why there is atleast a year wait, and also a clause for the possibility of delays. Seems fair, understandable, and still absolutely worth it to me.
Should clarify, that is estimated completion date, not delivery.
Was told that it could be Feb 2023 for my 120
@@biggil91 that might've been even what they told me over the phone in actuality. I called them while in a loud shop, and i might've misheard them. The docusign has the date i mentioned above, with clause for delays.
Gotta love Jeremy, now I will watch it
👍🏻
"You could go get a Traeger, just don't use Traeger pellets"
Oils well that ends well 🤣😂🤣
🎩 tip of the cap. Well done 👍🏻
LOL that's hilarious :)
Very happy you said workhorse 1975. Another pit I’m very excited to see you critique.
I am excited to try one out
Great video, as always. I talked to Eric today and have my name in the pew- order list. Hopefully in a year I’ll have my smoker. Plenty of time to get really good on my pellet smoker, then see how much better I can make things.
I really appreciate all of the knowledge that you provide. I a beginner offset smoker. I currently use a Oklahoma longhorn. I’ve seen your reviews of many offset smokers and value your expertise. I’m looking to upgrade my smoker, the fat stack is on my list. However, I was wondering if you have ever used a workhorse 1975, or anything in the workhorse line and you opinion is. Thanks in advance
I wish I could still use an offset pit. Being asthmatic really makes it hard for me to do proper smoke
Bummer. Really sorry to hear that. Do you use any type of smoker now?
@@MadScientistBBQ I have a pellet smoker…took some advise I have found here and got a smoke tube from Amazon to help out with the smoke flavor but nothing compares to an offset smoker.
@@Jeffrey.m.gonzalez have you tried lumberjack pellets?
@@MadScientistBBQ no but i do need to buy some pellets anyways so I will add this to my list and give it a shot. Thank you. Would you recommend still using the smoking tub or would the pellets produce enough flavor I wouldn’t need to use it
@@Jeffrey.m.gonzalez I would try it out with something quick and no tube. Maybe chicken thighs. That should give you a comparison to the current set up. If you still need more smoke you could add the tube without wasting a long and expensive cook
I’m thinking the real VS here is going to be the FS120 VS Workhorse 1975, now that sounds like a viral video
I am talking to someone who has a 1975 and we might be able to get it done!
I can’t like this enough
@@MadScientistBBQ would love to see that as I’m waiting on a 1969 now
@@MadScientistBBQ would love your review of the work horse 1975
@@MadScientistBBQ Have a 1975 on order, they e-mailed me today with a production date of March 16th. This should give you plenty of time for a thorough test to let me know if I made the right call..........Keep them coming, I'm learning a lot from your videos.
Yes please make a series on cheap cuts for the smoker!
Because of you and your videos I have switched from putting my name on a waiting list for a Franklin to looking into a Fatstack smoker. Thanks for all of you info
This video should be taken down due to the issues with FS Smokers admitted by their owner in their own YT series. This company is essentially a ponzi scheme
why would Jeremy yoder do that???? he's getting a cut.
Did you enter and pay for the smoker after this video? I paid for mine in full, and still haven’t received my smoker. They had initially told me I’d be getting the smoker in January of 2023. I haven’t reached out to my bank yet to dispute the charges but getting close, not sure if it’s too late for that.
@@chrislogan7863I ordered my volunteer by TMG PITS in June -
It’s just about done they text picture updates during build - customer service has been great with me adding and subtracting options
Good luck with your pit 🙏🏽I can imagine how frustrating that is
Let me know if you do.. it’s been even longer for me.
@@LakeSuperior090 will do man. I actually just went ahead and disputed the transaction with my bank after seeing fat stacks update last week. It looks like that company is doing terrible unfortunately, and he is not delivering anytime soon based on his video. I am hoping I can get a refund since they did not deliver. $2800 is not peanuts for me. And I know a lot of other people it sounds like have lost more.
Never, never, never thought I'd hear you say something cooked better than your 500. That must be one hell of a pit.
I never thought I would say so either. It’s kind of disappointing
I am going to buy one of these because my favorite BBQ specialist says its the BEST!
Man can’t wait for you to show us some cooks on these pits.
Appreciate the honest impressions. I wouldn’t have realized the rusty table issue until after purchase. Really like the unfinished look and don’t mind the maintenance but think I’ll steer clear of unfinished work surface.
Thanks! I’m just trying to give people all the info, good and bad
Ordered 2 years ago and still no smoker. Paid in full and then nothing. No smoker and missed deadlines and misleading videos. Would never recommend buying from this builder.
y'all need to take that crook to court. total bs what he is doing and Jeremy yoder is full of it for not taking this video down.
I order a 1975 workhorse offset. It took 16month to receive. I hope you have received you off set by now….
I don't think Jeremy needs to take the video down, but definitely needs to put a disclaimer at the beginning.
This video did not age well.
Another awesome video and yes PLEASE do a review of the Workhorse 1975...I've had one for 16 months and love but want your honest take. Thank you!!
Very Nice Presentation!
I'm absolutely BAFFLED you didn't open up and talk about how the fire box is connected to the cook chamber (though you did obviously talk about the water pouring spout).
Eric and FATSTACK have LITERALLY vanished into SMOKE with EVERYONES MONEY! He has stopped posting and he has stopped responding to calls and emails. He’s a crook and the fact you don’t even address this is shameful. I understand you have nothing to do with his business side of things but you have a responsibility to prevent any more of your viewers from falling victim to giving Eric any more money. I’m still a huge Mad Scientist BBQ fan but we need you to address the elephant in the room!
Great video, Jeremy! Love your channel! I also love your music! Could you please include the playlist in the description? Thanks!
Great smoker. Off-road size wheels to cart around the back yard/woods would be a great option
I hear fatstack is in a very bad place 😢😮.
I’m happy I pre ordered mine last month!
80 or 120?
@@MadScientistBBQ I got the 120
Awesome info thanks mate 🇦🇺
Jeremy, I've been waiting for the follow up video discussing the water spout allowing hot gases to escape in the forward end of the cook chamber. Have you done any more experimentation on this or have a video planned?
That 120 looks amazing 🔥🔥
Just ordered a big phil custom 24x48 that is super similar in build can't wait to see how it does tempted to go ahead and order a fatstack 80 as they're not gonna be ready till late next year and do comparison. Thanks for all the great content you've really changed my bbq game!
I haven’t heard of the big Phil. I’ll have to check it out
@@MadScientistBBQ I just ordered a Big Phil's Smokers 24x60 that's very similar. Looking forward to trying it out!
Big Phil creates great smokers. Congrats!
Hi Jeremy.
Small tip on the cover. I use a second hand motorcycle cover. It's pretty much covers the whole thing but the smoke collector
Finally!! Been waiting for the comparison
The comparison cook off is coming soon! I’m gonna do a comparison of all of my pits if can manage that many fires
@@MadScientistBBQ can't wait to see them. Put down a deposit on the fs80 because of your videos but I'm wondering should I upgrade to the fs120.. lol
@@joek7031 I just like the bigger space. You could do a suckling pig on there and stuff. Just seems for versatile. Then again it’s more unwieldy to deal with the thing
@@MadScientistBBQ you're making it so tempting to go up to the 120. Does the 120 use alot more wood compare to the 80?
Totally agree with the water opening releasing hot gasses. Maybe a short small diameter stack, 2" or so, with a damper would really fine tune heat distribution.
I think you’re correct. That would be the play
Awesome video! Have you ever used a Lang smoker or any other type of reverse flow type smoker?
Great job on the video! Can't wait for all of the follow ups promised.
On a side note now that your back in KY (I'm in Indiana) have you ever tried Bitternut hickory as wood for your bbq. I have read where it's superior to all other hickory and Pecans.
Keep the great videos coming!
I have never heard of it before. Looks like I need to do some research
Just got my first offset smoker. One day hope to have something like this.
Really enjoy the content and expertise you provide! I am considering a FS80 to experience the real flavor of wood, currently using a ceramic smoker...
Yeah you could get a cheaper offset maybe on Craigslist to see if you like running a fire that long. Only downside is that they are very difficult to manage!
@@MadScientistBBQ
I wouldn't mind too much on fire management side if the end product is superior in flavor compared to my ceramic smoker using lump charcoal.
Great vid. Thanks, Jeremy. Just wish I could afford one. Maybe some day.
You are the man bro.
Thank you
I have the 80 on pre order and this video just pumped me up for it!!
Nice!
Nice video. I've had my Shirley Fabrication for 2 years now. Should try one out.
I really want to and need to!
could you talk about whether you need a fall on the cook chamber to allow for the grease drain to function properly? I am looking to build one myself soon and that is one thing that im still not sure about.
Just Ordered mine 🔥
I have a 150 gallon smoker with a fire box and I want yo know if a 4 inch square tube is bid enough for a draft or can I put two pieces of pipe beside each other for a better draft and how tall should it be thanks for a nice video
Awesomeness!!!!!!!
Tons of respect for saying a product from somebody else is better than yours. That’s integrity.
Fat stack smokers is who made his 500 gallon. So it's actually not anyone else, they just seem to have hit it out of the park with their smaller cookers.
Man I'm happy I ran into you at Gugas big Wagu half cow bbq party video! I subscribed to you; you always have great videos!
Nice video.
Would love to see you give a Karubecue a whirl. The design would be right up your alley. I love mine.
I have never seen one in person but would love to give it a try. You’re one of several people to mention it to me now
In the cast iron world we use Crisco to get that nice black finish when starting with a raw pan. I’m curious if that would work on a smoker.
Man... got my first smoker a month ago and this dude did NOT steer me wrong. My BBQ game is way up these days thanks to this guy.
👍🏻👍🏻
Howdy!? On the last part of the video you suggested some other pits, I am wondering if you’ve tried any of the Shirley Fabrication pits. I’m looking forward for your reviews about these smokers. Great video👍🙏
What is the length between the front and rear casters? (How long of a truck bed is needed to transport?). Thanks
Yeah I have a custom drum smoker and I called around looking to have a cover made for it. Most quotes I got were over $350. I ended up ordering some marine fabric and making one myself. No where near professional workmanship (lol), still cost me over $100 in materials, and I had to borrow a sewing machine to make it.
Just seen you post on Instagram, came here to watch this 50 more time.
What’s the best temp to cook on brazos to render the fat and get great flavor? I’m having a hard time rendering the fat on top? (I have the brazos deluxe and it comes with heat deflector)
Do you use fire managment basket, or are they over rated. Been using one and having problems establishing coal bed. I have a LSG verticle offset and long cooks or causing my coal bed to suffer because of leas surface are to hold the coal.
Have you looked ceramic coating at all? I've never seen it done and wondered why. It's very common for under bonnet heat management in race cars. Its used on turbo manifolda that see 1800+ degrees, so it will be fine on a smoker. Will help keep heat in and stop your pit rusting too.
How pricey is it though? If it is affordable, I would do that in a heartbeat
@@MadScientistBBQ truthfully yes, for something the size of those pits, I'm guessing you could end up spending $500-1000 pretty quick. But that's only a wild guess, I'm half way round the globe from you. But if it helps your favourite pit last longer, while possibly helping even out heat in the cook chamber and preventing people burning themselves on the outside of it, would it be worth it? For... science?
Hey man love your videos!
You’ve helped me out greatly getting into smoking.
I’ve been looking around at upgrading my smoker and I’m debating on getting the brazos, but I found a used old country angus smoker on marketplace for a good price, was wondering what your thoughts on them are and if you’ve had any experience with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have no clue about the angus. Never used one but I don’t think I like the design. Seems like it would be too uneven. I don’t know though, it could be great.
@@MadScientistBBQ appreciate it, yea I was questioning it because I see a lot of them for resale pretty cheap. I ended up getting the brazos, LOVE it!
I judge my bbq the same. Always could be better. I’ve heard from everyone who’s tried it that it’s some of the best bbq they’ve had. So I’m obviously learning a lot through you.
Hi Jeremy
I'm Victor. I live in Sun Valley just a couple of blocks from the shop
I went there a few days ago I spoke to Eric. He's a very nice guy. I personally didn't mention it but he didn't either about getting some discount according to your last TH-cam video.
Just to let let you know I'm saving your TH-cam videos on my cellphone and already tried a few of your recipes.
Many thanks for what you do for us.

Cool. If you are interested, I think you can ask about pre-order. No idea how many of those spots have been taken. Also, you should swing by on days they do test cooks to get some free barbecue
Would love to see how the FS120 compares to the Workhorse 1975. Thanks for the reviews. 👍
Ok, so PAM, or a cheap knockoff, sprayed on the exterior to prevent rust. Before heating the smoker or after it's come up to temp? Also, what about cleaning/seasoning the interior for the first use? If you've already covered this I'd appreciate a link to that video. I ask these questions because my brother is giving me his offset that isn't be used anymore.
