- In this video I season my Bronco. I used a spray can of canola oil. I made sure to spray the inside all around. I used a Weber wax cubes to start the charcoal in the charcoal basket. I kept the heat at a high burn of 450f-500f. For the last hour I let the temp in the Bronco drop to as low as 250f. It took a total of 4 hours to season my Bronco. 9-22-19

A Tel-Tru thermometer fits it perfectly. Or any thermometer of your preference with a 1/2 inch NPT. I put a BQ300 black on mine with a 2-1/2 inch stem. You can go longer, but then you cannot put the grate on the lower hanger. I recommend getting second grate. I have smoked wings using both grates at once. Halfway through I swapped out the upper a lower grate. Wings were on point.
I will look into another temp gauge. For a second grate I will looking at Weber smoking mountain 18inch grate. Still looking around for better deals.
Oklahoma Joe's sells that exact one on there webpage for $20. I also bought another side shelf. Total $35. www.oklahomajoes.com/accessories-and-parts/mods
I'm gonna buy another cooking grate. Thank you for sharing the info.

Thank you for watching! It's nice to hear from another Bronco owner. Let me know how your cooks go.
Awesome, just got mine, I'll be seasoning this weekend in Del Rio, Tx..
Thank you for watching! What's going to be your first cook?
@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ Think im going to do some poor man's burnt ends
You will be eating good. Have fun on the cook!
Just got a Bronco this week, just put it together yesterday, now to season. Thanks for the video
You're welcome and thank you for watching. You're going to have a blast with your Bronco. Whats going to be the first cook?
@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ probably some spare ribs, I never hung ribs before. Just done them on my highland.
Hanging ribs is the best way to go. A great experience.
Is it good to do a initial season to burn off the factory stuff and then a second season with your choice of oil after?
That is correct.
I had done that in years past but getting back in the game. Starting my burn off now. Thanks partner love your channel. Probably move on to my actual seasoning with peanut oil tomorrow and maybe something on like a butt or two by Saturday night or Sunday morning.
I'm glad I could help. Thank you for watching. I will have more content out soon. Enjoy your cook. The Bronco won't disappoint.
Nice video. I just bought my Bronco and can’t wait to season it and do some smoking.
You're going to love it. The Bronco has become my go to cooker.
Mine is delivering tomorrow
You're going to have fun.
Excellent information. I love a good BBQ and we have a pretty similar strategy to cooking. I will definitely keep watching.
Thank you for watching. I hope to cook on it this weekend. A video of it will be up.
Have you come across any quality issues with this smoker? Have you used it in weather below 40 degrees?
Thank you for watching and sorry for the late reply. I have had this smoker for one year now and I have had no issues with it. No leaks, no rust, the gasket has remained on holding heat and smoke in. Im still getting 15hrs of cook time. It is dependable and well made. I have only used it in the mid 50's. It doesn't get cold as much here in Texas. But I didnt have any issues getting the coals started and keeping it at a low temp when I cooked on it.
How much wood do you add to start and how do you add wood while you are smoking?
I just place wood chucks when I light the charcoal. I place what I think is enough wood chunks for how long I plan to cook.
It all depends on how much smoke flavor you want. You can add 4-5 wood chunks in the charcoal and when the lit charcoal creeps up to the wood, it will smolder and burn the wood. Kind of like a fuse. With a smoker like this, it will primarily be charcoal (briquettes or lump) giving you the heat.
Nice smoker bro cant wait to see some cooks on it
I'm actually cooking on it right now. Video will be posted sometime this week.
How are you liking this Bronco? I have been looking just have not purchased. Take care
I love it. It holds the temp that you want. It can go for 12 plus hour cooks when charcoal lit correctly. You can purchase a second grill grate for more cooking space. You can move the charcoal basket up to grill. It can do a lot.
Hey, where did u get the replacement grill?
Great channel bro!
Thank you so much.
I’m seasoning tonight bro! Bout to light up the coals!
Already! An exciting time. I'm telling you, you are going to have a blast with it.
@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ going great thus far. My probes have been around 10 degrees off from each other though not what I wanted to see but I put the grate in and moved them both towards the center and it’s been 5 degrees difference for the last 30 mins. I’m smoking a Boston butt tomorrow for pulled pork from a Reichlan recipe. Eventually I will make my own stuff but for now I’m learning.
The temp gage will be off at times. Mine still gets that way when I'm using the cooking grate, which is why I use a digital thermometer to read temp of grate level. But when I hang meat, I go with what the bronco temp gage reads. How does it feel being an owner of a bronco now?
@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ feels awesome! I’m ready to throw a Boston butt on there right now!
Hope the cook goes good for you. Keep me updated.
Very nice bro. What part of Texas are you from?
I am from Central Texas.
👍🏼 South Texas here. Just saw this smoker at Academy, came home and did some research on it, your channel popped up. Thanks for the info.
@@Mangaman_ You're welcome and thank you for watching. Its an impressive smoker.
Moe you gotta try Kingsford Hardwood it's the Best !!!!!!
I will look for it next time I'm at the store.
@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ you'll find it at Home Depot
Nice. I haven't bought Charcoal in awhile. I have stock pile of it. Is the kingsford hardwood new?
@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ No
