Lately, the average for a rack of St. Louis cut ribs has been 3 hours or so. A lot of it is dependent on cook temp. I get this set for about 250 degrees and then don’t fiddle with it.
This is tripping me out on many, many levels. Joy Division T-Shirt. My fav band. The EXACT same patio umbrella I use to shade myself when smoking. I mean THE EXACT same one with solar lighting along the ribs and the EXACT same color. Old country Brazos Delux in the background. The EXACT offset I have. Old Country gravity fed. The exact smoker I have been researching for best of both worlds of pellet “set it and forget it” and flavor of offset. Killing me bro.
Just a bit of surface rust. Unfortunately for awhile this was sitting uncovered out in the open. Just sanded it yesterday and no damage to be seen. I really should take better care of my things!
Here's my take. 👁 want a manual, non-electric cabinet smoker in which i can smoke, cook, and cure. Being in Montana, i also need it to be able to maintain temps in pretty darn cold weather. 👁 make a brisket or two, hang sausage and smoke fish. Charcoal is easy enough to come by up here, butt.......no so with hardwoods. The one thing that i really want is to hang links and smoke bacon. The g.o.b's built wooden smoke houses, butt........I'm not a g.o.b. , i want movable "smokehouse." Soooo, is this good ol' country smoker the cabinet of choice? If not, is thar a better, non-plug-in choice? ----🐴
Great question. The answer is that this smoker should fit your needs perfectly. I haven't done any of the cold smoke videos yet because...well...it's been 120 degrees. But I HAVE cold smoked on this one before. Because it's insulated, it'll maintain temps even when it's below freezing outside. As a matter of fact, I smoked a turkey when it was below zero and had no real issues other than my digital thermometer didn't work below 32 degrees. I'll do some videos on those types of cooks as soon as the weather improves a bit. The only caveat I'm going to give you is that the wheels on this thing are less than ideal, but you can put your own casters on it to make it a bit more portable. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!
Sure looks like your firebox and charcoal chute and the doors are rusting pretty bad. Is that from sitting in the weather or do you think it’s from cheaper materials. I’m seriously considering replacing a failing 8 yr old pellet grill with one of these.
So, what I noticed is that when it was out in the open (unfortunately uncovered), the charcoal box would get quite damp after rain. Not filled with water or anything, but enough that you could tell there was water leakage. After moving it and having it under cover, I've not noticed that anymore. I'd say that it is a safe bet that it was from sitting in the weather.
It's not so much a lawn as a pasture. Prior to moving, I had most of these in a field. I used a string trimmer about once a week, but last year was pretty wet!
Anyone else have experience with the Old Country Gravity Smoker? Anyone else think they should have named it something more exciting? Are you a fan of gravity smokers in general? Let us know!
@@newsrebel Not sure what part of the country you're in, but a few times a year Academy does a 20% off sale that includes these smokers. I bought this one and a Brazos DLX on that sale over the course of a couple of years.
I have this smoker. Almost 3 years now. It takes a while to get up to temp. So I went with the thermoworks signal and billows. And at this moment they are having a sale. This smoker is awesome
@@ColdWarBarbecue oh yeah you can get it to to temp within 30 mins and it holds it within 1 degree the whole cook until you open the door. And then it also recovery very quickly

...this is getting eerie. You don't live in Oklahoma, right? :)
Nice - Is that door on your fire chamber rusting out?

You could moe the lawn ?…why’ll your waiting?

@@24Mangible I've heard great things about that billows but have yet to give it a shot. So, you're able to get it up to temp quicker?
