Rosel, I really enjoy your videos on the big easy cookers. I bought one based on what I've seen from your channel. I know it takes a lot of time to make and edit these videos, it's appreciated.
Everyone has been really supportive of the channel but i think that's one of the best compliments i have ever gotten. I sincerely hope you are enjoying your big easy. Stay tuned more great video's to come
Rosel, I know this is an old video but I like that collapsible basket because it makes it easier to get my turkey out after cooking. Thanks for your great videos.
If you don't cut, beat, adjust or modify stuff like I do (lol) there is absolutely nothing wrong with the collapsible basket. Glad you enjoyed the video stay tuned more great stuff on the way.
Brother you have a great personality I love your enthusiasm what you need to work on in my humble opinion is your camera angels and showing off the food when done. It's all about presentation and making people want to copy what you do. So enticing them with food shots is the way to go. Ie at 8 mins in you say look at the steaks but you really don't show the meat. You definitely have the personality to be successful. Good luck and thanks for the video
Love your explanations and showing accessories, beginning to think we might really need one of these!! Our daughter just got one and I'm sharing this video with her as well!
I really love mine, they has taken my cooking game to the next level especially during the holidays. Keep me updated and let me know if you get one and how you like it. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for future updates.
Just acquired both an oil less fryer and 3in1 Big Easy in slightly used condition with out the baskets. Thanks to your video here I think I am going to go with the BBQ Future Turkey Fryer Accessory Kit for Char-Broil The Big Easy Turkey Fryer Accessories. Thanks for the show. Grill On!
congratulations on your purchase you are going to love it. If you don't want to modify your original basket order you a second one and modify it. Modifying it will not hurt it in the least. Let me know how it turns out
Hi Rosel, Its Doug here from the U.K. hope you are well. I have been watching and enjoying your videos as I have just ordered a Big Easy 3 in 1: Have learnt a lot from you and other TH-camrs.........only one thing in this video you put the Corn on the cob on the bottom rack and the Chicken above, I was always told that you should not do this as the drippings from the Chicken can Contaminate the food underneath. Whats your take on this.? Regards...........Doug
Hello Doug, my belief is that both the chicken and the corn are uncooked if either are contaminated the heat will kill it. That's just my belief not sure. Congratulations on the BE 3 in 1. Thanks for the great question thanks for watching and stay tuned for more updates and great content!
Rosel, you seem to THE Big Easy expert on TH-cam. I just got one as a gift. I have a question, can you turn down the gas and use the screen and get the same result on less propane? Thanks, great channel!
My head is already TH-cam BIG but thanks for that. Big easy recommends we use the screen on cold days toward the end of the cook to crisp the meat or not at all. The amount of gas that thing uses in minimal. During the summer months which are March-Dec in Louisiana I use my Big easy 3 to 5 times per week and I refill my tank maybe 3 times per year. Hope that answered your question. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great content.
I think cooking a brisket on one would be rather difficult a brisket requires low and slow. There is very little temp variation with the Big Easy. Take care homeboy its my pleasure!
I haven't done that yet but I think I've seen that somewhere. That is an excellent idea I will have to put that into motion in the near future. Thanks for the comment thanks for watching tune in for an update soon to come.
No I do not have the electric, haven't seen any videos on it myself. I never saw a need for the electric because I have several other cook gadgets like the George Foreman. If I find anything I'll get back to you on it. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content.
The Big Easy is 13 inches inside diameter find something that size it will work the pan will take a while to heat up but yes it can be done. I actually have a video where I put a Dutch oven inside the big easy and cook in it. th-cam.com/video/N3v5ahCnPrk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video Rosel! Where did you buy the original basket? Mine finally lost its integrity from so much use. The website or link will be helpful.

All poultry should be at or around 165 degrees internal temp but to be honest I always eyeball wings and thighs but to be certain I pull one off after about 45 minutes and eat it lol
I just bought a new char broil Big easy today from Academy and it came with the new clasping basket and I'm wondering if I'll be able to use the accessories with it,and if not where can I get the original style basket and how much are they?
The collapsible basket is only good for whole Turkeys and chickens you sit them in and pull the basket up around them. The original basket can be found on line at Char-Broil it is called the Big Easy Basic Roaster Basket and it is $20.00
@@roselsimpson858 Thank you, I appreciate your help. I personally don't like the new basket and prefer the other one. I think it's crazy that the new Big Easy all come with them from the factory, I think it should be an aftermarket kind of thing, like the accessories and all.
I'm looking at cooking a Boston butt for Eastern NC BBQ. Is there a way to lower the cooking temperature to cook the Boston butt slower? Does yours come out very easy to pull apart? Thanks and enjoy watching several of your videos.
You can lower the temperature slightly with the gas knob. Light the unit turn it down until the flame goes out then mark the spot. Perhap consider injecting the roast capture the juices bast it and I think you Boston butt will turn out fine.
I love it.. I was just thinking about going to Lowes and buying one of those round set of wheels for garbage cans to see if it would fit my big easy, I guess great minds think alike AWESOME!!
@@geemanns5614 please do because within the hour between us talking last I just tried and failed. My idea of the flower pot casters did not work. roselsimpson@gmail.com or rosel simpson on messenger Thanks
@@roselsimpson858 Brother....go to Home Depot, I bought the small grey rubber wheels with the threads, you can screw them in the holes with a 3/8" nut and washer.
Thanks for the information Rosel.. This Big Easy is new to me making baked taters on it tonight. Where did you get that grill to you have hanging up? I can't seem to find one of those.
I believe that temperature kills anything harmful but that is a good thing to consider for anyone with concerns. Corn on top from now on when cooking chicken, now bacon that's a different story it goes on top lol!
I have used it with only my Grill top to cook burgers or a porkchop it got a little Smokey inside not sure if I violated manufactures specs or not lol. It didn't damage it but not sure I recommend doing that too often.
Hey bossman...I bought a big easy grill brand new for $40 bucks....the guy said the lid was missing...so my question is, was he mistaken, and there isn't a solid cover needed to use this grill? I've got the screen top cover ,is this all I need? Thnx
Yes he was mistaken the screen top cover is all you need, there is only the screen top cover for the regular unit. Only the larger smoker unit comes with a lid that is attached. I don't think they sell them in the U.S. anymore.
@@roselsimpson858 thanx bossman....I did a test drive on mine on Saturday and it turned out SLAMMIN! You DEFINITELY answered or addressed some of my concerns, as far as catching the drippage to use for gravy, with the hole in the pie pan video! You da man!

I got a kick how you lock preparing steaks, with the lighter that's funny

Also can you cook a brisket on one? Thnx! P.s. I was born up in monroe...I live in Texas now....thanx for the advice...
I think cooking a brisket on one would be rather difficult a brisket requires low and slow. There is very little temp variation with the Big Easy. Take care homeboy its my pleasure!
Have you modified an original basket to where it opens up like a book from top to bottom? And if so, can you show a video of how you did it?
I haven't done that yet but I think I've seen that somewhere. That is an excellent idea I will have to put that into motion in the near future. Thanks for the comment thanks for watching tune in for an update soon to come.
Do you have the electric big easy too? I'm looking for someone videos on it, wondering if it's as good or better than the gas big easy.
No I do not have the electric, haven't seen any videos on it myself. I never saw a need for the electric because I have several other cook gadgets like the George Foreman. If I find anything I'll get back to you on it. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content.
Hey I was wondering if you could actually put some kind of pan on top of the Big easy and cook like a stove top
The Big Easy is 13 inches inside diameter find something that size it will work the pan will take a while to heat up but yes it can be done. I actually have a video where I put a Dutch oven inside the big easy and cook in it. th-cam.com/video/N3v5ahCnPrk/w-d-xo.html

The round grill grate or the Half Chicken leg holder for the Big easy?
@@roselsimpson858 no the one you cooked hot dogs on. I bought a Weber one but it rusted the first time I used it.

I believe that temperature kills anything harmful but that is a good thing to consider for anyone with concerns. Corn on top from now on when cooking chicken, now bacon that's a different story it goes on top lol!
love the show!
can you use the big easy without the basket?
I have used it with only my Grill top to cook burgers or a porkchop it got a little Smokey inside not sure if I violated manufactures specs or not lol. It didn't damage it but not sure I recommend doing that too often.
