Totally agree! I already had the billows system and used it with my OK Joe bronco. Just purchased the Old Country two days ago. It takes foooooreveeeer to heat up without the billows. 100% agreement on dumping a hot chimney of coals in first, then a chimney of unlit briquettes on top of them. Put your wood chunks in the bottom and let her role! 🔥
Wow! Man you have got an awesome setup. I just found out about your channel. Your review of Old Country Gravity Fed Smoker is thorough. I also looked at G2 but I prefer this one over G2. I am not experienced like you. Thank you for the detail explanation.
Great video! Got my sub. I do have a MB 1050 and yea you are right about it. Just nothing but issues. Already on my 3rd controller in 2 years. Should have just got a fireboard controller lol. Anyways I am looking at other smokers now and I do like this one. I do have a question for you. How high can you take the temp and can it handle that high of a heat? One thing I do like about the MB is that I can crank it up to 500-700 degrees if need be. I just did a tomahawk steak. Smoked it until about 110 internal then crank it up to 575 degrees and seared it. I also do other stuff using that high of a heat, like chicken wings. Does this go up that high with that controller or does this smoker have a max temp you can take it too? Thank you.
I haven’t had it up to high temps but I’m sure it’ll handle it. Might switch to lump charcoal and a hotter burning wood like mesquite. Thanks for watching!
Nice timing. My uncle just bought the billows but hasn’t had a chance to use it yet. Sent him your video to help him along.
I was totally impressed with it! Thanks buddy

Awesome right! Thanks for watching!
This smoker is amazing!!! Adding the fan is just the icing on the cake. As easy as a pellet smoker with the taste of an offset.
I can’t disagree with you! I really dig this cooker!!

how much did the fan and digital thermometers run you? great video by the way,
This set up is about 300 but depending on the thermometer you can get set up for around 150.
