    Mike, I would like to thank you to for the excellent video on regulating temp and control of the bronco smoker. I watched your video twice and had seasoned my bronco the day before. Today I am cooking ribs and applied your advice for a 20 minute burn open and then close and regulate heat without over running temp. And it worked beautifully. I have been able to maintain a constant 250 temp or close to it with your advice. I am sold on your channel and want to thank you for the advice, thank you.

    I never have to wait this long for the Bronco to come up to temp, usually takes only 15 - 20 minutes, now I will say that I live in Arizona where it's usually great weather, unless it's 120 outside but I guess for you guys living where it's much cooler, these long times before you can put your food on isn't unusual. None the less, great video and thanks!

I do live in a warm and humid climate only being a little over an hour Northwest of Memphis, TN but I have found that it takes this long in order to have a good fire foundation that is yielding clean smoke.

    • @BakersBBQ
      @BakersBBQ  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for watching Ken Li! The Bronco is a barrel smoker and on a barrel smoker you smoke pretty well direct even with the heat deflector in but the distance between the heat source and the meat allows for a low and slow smoke. The main thing is to master the temperature control techniques like the ones I shared in this video to allow you to smoke low and slow. I have a bunch of Bronco videos on my channel doing low and slow cooking. Check them out and let me know if you have any questions.

    • @BakersBBQ
      @BakersBBQ  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You’re welcome my friend and thank you for watching! I usually use 2 of the fire starters and that seems to me the right amount. Remember to let your fire go 20 minutes with everything open and then close the lid leaving the dampers wide open. As the temperature gets within about 15* of your desired cooking temp begin to dial down the intake as the temperature settles in. If not already please subscribe to my page and like the video.

    Thanks for the info. I Started my first smoke today, Pork butt. Wish I looked you up sooner. As of this writing it is still in the smoker and from what I gathered here I am on the right track.
    FYI You can use a wrench to calibrate your thermometer. I used a digital one and adjust the one on the smoker to match. The website wants you to boil water and adjust the temp to the temp of boiling water. I live at altitude so water boils at a different temp then at sea leave. So this just leaves more errors then how I did it.

    Being a novice to smoking, this video really helped me get my temps exactly where I want them. The issue I'm having is, after putting anything on the grill and closing down the lid, I never get back to my desired temp. I have to kind of start over again adjusting the intake damper to get the temps back. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Again, great video.

    • @BakersBBQ
      @BakersBBQ  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey SureStoreX, thanks for stopping by and watching! Question; How long are you letting your smoker run during the start up phase once it comes up to the desired temp before you put your meat on? Once you hit your desired temperature you need to let it run for a bit longer before adding your meat to allow the temperature to settle in and for the smoke to clean up. Also, remember that when you put your meat on it is cold and will have a negative drawl on the smoker temperature but if you have started it up properly it will recover in about an hour or less back to the desired temperature. You just have to be patient and have faith in the process if you are doing it correctly. Give me a little more feedback based on my question and answer. Thanks again for watching 👍🏻

    • @SureStoreX

      @@BakersBBQ Thank you for the quick reply. Once I get the temp to where I want. I've waited maybe 20 minutes. 20 minutes to start the fire, 20 minutes getting the right temp, and 20 minutes at the desired temp.
      Maybe I should wait a bit longer?
      It didn't even occur that the cold meat would affect the overall temperature.
      This info gives me an excuse to throw some meat on the grill again tonight.

    • @BakersBBQ
      @BakersBBQ  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@SureStoreX based on your feedback I think you just need to allow time for the smoker to come back up to temp after placing the meat on. Don’t make any adjustments after putting the meat on for a while and see if the temp starts working its way back to where you had it. Also, make sure of two things…first that the grease trap on the bottom of the smoker isn’t full and 2nd that your thermometer prob isn’t touching the meat. Let me know how it works out 👍🏻

      Thanks for watching Draco! No doubt barrel smoking is very different than offset smoking. With barrel smoking you don’t have a fire per say once you have it up and running & unlike offset smoking you are not pushing the fire. If you follow my process in this video you will be able to get it up to temp and to the right temp. In addition you should be able to get 10-12 hours of burn time in the regular pan without reloading. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

    The OJB is the easiest to reach temp and bring down if you over shoot. Super responsive to damper controls. I love mine.
    Now the Akorn egg…different story, back off when you’re within 50 or 75 degrees, if you over shoot, you’re chasing it. That is one that’s hard to bring down.
    The flat top of the OJB is a good warmer for butter or sauces too. Good video, though.

    What sort of fire starter did you use in the charcoal?

    Is it best to use briquettes or lump as the bed and chunks as the wood

      Hi Casey, there are many opinions on this but I have found briquettes work best for me, and I use wood chunks. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any other questions. Also, if you haven’t already, please subscribe to my channel and hit that like button 👍🏻

    Are you using plain charcoal briquets or presoaked charcoal like kingsford ‘match light’?

    How do you keep adding wood during your smoke? Looks like there is no access to the fire without removing the racks and the meat?

    • @BakersBBQ
      @BakersBBQ  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Steve, thanks for watching! You do not have to add charcoal or wood during the cooking process. You set up the charcoal pan with charcoal and wood and light it up according to the directions in this video and let it roll. I can get 10+ hours at 250* with the regular charcoal pan but I ordered the Bronco Pro charcoal pan and put it in my regular Bronco and now get 20+ hours at 250*. If set up and started correctly, that’s all you got to do…no adding throughout the cooking process. Here is a video of me discussing the charcoal pan and go look at my channel for other videos on this subject. If not already, please subscribe to my channel and like the video.

    Mike how long would it take for the coals to get completely white. Just purchased an Oklahoma Joe Bronco Pro from Amazon. I would probably let my coals get completely white for chicken and ribs. Your thoughts
    Good informative video

    • @BakersBBQ
      @BakersBBQ  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for watching George and glad you found the video helpful. I’m not sure how long that would take and not sure why you would want the coals to turn white, but I’m guessing about as long as a normal grill would if you were grilling. You can use the Bronco as a grill by inverting the heat deflector and sitting the charcoal basket on it which will raise the coals up under the cooking grate. If you don’t mind me asking what is your reasoning for white coals when smoking chicken and ribs? If not already please subscribe to my channel and like the video 👍🏻

      Dirty smoke will be white and heavy where as clean smoke will have a light blue tint and will be light. I don’t have any grilling videos as I mainly focus on smoking and long cooks. I may add some grilling videos in the future though 👍🏻
