I'm really appreciate your video! I really like your honest and detailed presentation! It is helping me a lot in my decision to buy one of these grills!
Thank you Nick! I’m very passionate about barbecuing and doing my best to share the possibilities of getting good quality bbq without breaking the bank. I’ve done several cooks my Tahoma, chicken, ribs, pork butt, turkey breast, breast and grilled steak and beef short ribs. This cooker did not disappoint. More videos are on the way. If you do get one, keep an eye on your fuel. Keep em’ burning 🔥
2:55 ….it’s the opposite of what you said….flat side is for searing ( more grate to meat contact) and the peak side is for smoking (less surface contact which allows more smoke penetration)
Great overview. Would really like an in-depth video on grease management and cleaning/maintenance. This seems to be the thing that bites people in the rear during real-world ownership. Thanks and subbed.
Hey Jimmy it’s good to see your video on the Tohoma grill. A few years ago you sent me some of your delicious BBQ sauce and a tee shirt to Palmdale California. That sauce was spot on my wife loved it my favorite was the spicy flavor. Im considering that grill . You make fantastic content, keep up the great videos, you are the man!!!
Have you had any issues with snuffing out the coals after a cook? I've noticed this smoker doesn't have a fan door or an air shut off for the smokestack.
What’s up? There are several contributing factors. Type of fuel, lump/briquettes, and size of fuel. When I used the Kingsford I did use the whole hopper but the larger briquettes jammed up and did not fall and burn up.
You mentioned outting a grill lava lock (gasket) around the grill door. Was it not sealed up well enough? If you are worried about gaps or smoke/heat escaping, won't it also escape out the holes where the probe wires go in on the sides?
I didn’t like the amount of smoke that was escaping from the seal. I added some extra security. Not much smoke escapes from the probe openings. Thank you for checking out the video.
@@getjimmysbbq Ah! Ok, that makes more sense. Thank you so much for this video. I think it’s the most informative orientation video I’ve seen so far on the Tahoma. I currently have a Char-Griller Gravity 980 that I modded to run with my FireBoard 2 Pro. It works well, but I’m very tempted to buy a Tahoma. The design looks so much better, even if it is a bit smaller. And I also understand what you mean by having the charcoal get stuck or bridge in the hopper. That’s happened to me several times on my 980. Usually I don’t notice it until I have just finished checking on the meat and had opened the lid and then I’m waiting for the temp to come back up to the setpoint. If it takes longer than a few minutes then I know I probably have a bridging issue. Looking forward to watching more of your videos, my friend! Keep smoking!

You are absolutely correct! I do have a maintenance video in the works. Thank you for watching and sharing. Keep em’ burning 🔥

What is up my friend? Many thanks for the support, keep em’ burning 🔥

I'm having issues with after my cook the smoker will burn through the whole hopper of charcoal

@getjimmysbbq5349 when I close my damper and turn the smoker off. I'll wake up the next morning and the charcoal was all burnt and in the pan
Does the food taste more like what it would from a pellet grill or an offset smoker?
Offset all the way my friend.

Lol I had to check the payback speed setting …it’s sounds like your talking in slow motion….x1.75 playback and you sound normal
lol, I usually get the opposite, I tend to talk too fast. Thank you 🙏🏼 for checking out the video.
Also, are you referring to the FireBlack high temp gasket?
Not sure the name of the gasket material. I’ve purchased it from Amazon several times, not very expensive, about 8-9 bucks for 15 ft
Wow! That’s a TON of wood! Is all of that wood behind you just for your offset or do you also use it for firewood?
No bro, I have a bbq food truck business. That wood is for my big offset smoker. I have a 330 gallon reverse flow smoker.

At the bottom of the hopper I saw on the same model elsewhere there is a fire brick , did you take yours out ?
No sir! That has a function, radiates heat
