Thanks for your content. You are pretty much the only one who uploads consistently about the Judge. I've been trying to get some research done but there's very few videos out there. My HD has them for $449. Was yours on sale? I'd love to see you do wings next!
Hi Jon - Mine was not on sale but I did buy it in spring so maybe I got it before the “summer prices”. Either way it’s worth every penny, and then some. I appreciate you watching and I will do wings in the near future! Happy grilling!
Hi Keat Too! Thank you for the compliment and thanks for watching. I use about a third chimney full of lump or about a quarter chimney for briquettes. Then put them in top right corner of charcoal grate. Then add unlit coal from the lit pile to the bottom right corner. Close lid and use dampers to control temp. Ill make a video as well.
@GobbaGooBBQ , AWESOME! I can't find a Judge at any store near me. There are some mods that I would want to do with this grill. Thanks for the information. Grill On!
These reviews on The Judge are awesome, it's been difficult finding any others out there. I'm curious how you're still liking it and how it's holding up. I'd be curious to see any mods - maybe a row of firebricks on the inside to create some sort of separation of the 2 zone cooking. Also would love to see a brisket vid!
Thank you Adam! The Judge has become my go to bbq. Freakn love this thing. Keep your eye out for a brisket vid in the near future and I would like to have some sort of two zone mod. I might have to try out the fire brick thing. Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate you watching. Oh and it’s holding up great, even after some extreme high heat cooks.
@@GobbaGooBBQ Yes! Thank you..ive been reading your helpful comments, and from now on I will WAIT till I see that almost "invisible smoke" b4 I put the meat on the grill....Even if it takes an hour 😒😒😒😒
@@GobbaGooBBQ havent pulled the trigger yet....one sale at hd for 475...Amazon cheapest is around 625.....still trying to justify it to the wife....I have too many grills
@@drok7619 i tell my wife it’s my hobby and keeps me sane. Also that I like cooking in different styles but it still took years and years to break her down and finally accept it. Haha
Hey Gobba Gooer’s - Thanks for watching. Let me know what you think of this cook. What do you want to see me cook next on the Judge?
Do some bone in chicken directly over the heat. Would love to see how that works out.
@@michaellane9079 Oh that sounds good.. Thanks for the suggestion!
Do a Tri-Tip, Santa Maria style!
Excellent idea, thanks for the suggestion.
Smoked turkey whole or spatchcocked!
I love your work and the videos, keep up the great work man!
Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Awesome Videos on the Judge mate! can you tell me more or make a vid about how you set up your lump charcoals for low and slows?
Hi Keat Too! Thank you for the compliment and thanks for watching. I use about a third chimney full of lump or about a quarter chimney for briquettes.

Have you ever had your charcoal or wood burn on just the ash pan? No charcoal grate?
I have not tried that method. I imagine the coals or wood would not get enough oxygen if done that way.
@GobbaGooBBQ , assuming the lid is closed. I'm just curious if you think the ash pan is durable enough to have a fire on it?
@@jonkarg2528 Yes the ash pan is very well built and very heavy duty. I was very surprised how well it’s built.
@GobbaGooBBQ , AWESOME! I can't find a Judge at any store near me. There are some mods that I would want to do with this grill. Thanks for the information. Grill On!
how are the temp controls on the Judge? Do you have to consistently adjust dampers to lock in that temp you want?
Temp controls are pretty close to set it and forgot it. Pretty easy to dial it in.
Does The Judge work ok with 2 wheels instead of 4?
This heavy grill is very easy to 2 wheels. The large size of the wheel makes it easy. Thanks for watching.
What kind of wood was used during this cook?
Pecan wood.
Did u close the lid at all?
@@AnthonyNewsome-i5g Yes I did. Always do.
@@GobbaGooBBQ I recommend that u plz show that and the time lapses plz and thank u
@@AnthonyNewsome-i5g good call out, thank you and will do that. I have some ribs on deck right now.
Very nice
Thank you Mike!

I use fire bricks in my weber kettle and they work great. that qnd a drip pan of water is just as good as the expensive system
Close the Lid!!!!!
But I must watch the food cook! :))
The "cherry smoke ring" is the truth!!!....I only was able to get that ring twice 😒😒😒
Lots of wood smoke gets me the ring every time. Thanks for watching!
@@GobbaGooBBQ ok..got it...I was worried about it being oversmoked...But ill try it next time.
Just make sure your smoke is clean.
@@GobbaGooBBQ Yes! Thank you..ive been reading your helpful comments, and from now on I will WAIT till I see that almost "invisible smoke" b4 I put the meat on the grill....Even if it takes an hour 😒😒😒😒
Perfect!
