    Brad, I just got into smoking meat about 6 months ago. Started with an electric smoker, quickly moved to a pellet smoker, and now I’m using a custom built smoker patterned after the Goldee’s offset. I am constantly watching and rewatching your videos so I can learn from your expertise. Your videos have been invaluable tools to me! Last weekend I did 10 briskets on my offset and got rave reviews on my briskets. I used a warning container for the rest and they turned out great! Thank you for all you do for the backyard BBQ community!! 😊

    • @brandonwilcox3307

      This was the exact pattern (electric to pellet to stick burner) I followed except that progression took me 5 years lol

    After 15 years of kamado cooking I’m nervously awaiting delivery of my first offset smoker. Thank you for making it seem not too terrifying. We shall see…..! I’m in my 60s so maybe in 20 years I’ll have got it… thanks for the video; informative and light hearted.

    Brad, would like to see an update or expanded more comprehensive video on 120 gallon offset fire management. There seems to be a lot of demand for higher-end offset smokers over just 3 years. Thanks for the solid content - looking forward to more live content on TH-cam. Cheers!

    Hey Chud, use the charcoal bag for fire starter. Tear a piece of the bag off, wad it up, stick it under the chimney, light it on fire and walk away. In 10-15 minutes those coals will be roaring. Thats how I do it. Works great.

    • @Icutmetal

    Man, I was listening to this thinking about where I'm going to be able to find wood and when you said Craigslist I had a look- turns out a guy cut down a pear and a cherry tree and had all the cuts in his driveway for free. Took about 6 bikeloads but I got it done. Thanks so much.

  • @bigdawgsbbq2737
    @bigdawgsbbq2737 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    GREAT video with great info... I have a LSG 24x48 off set pipe smoker... I have a gas assist and it couldn't be easier to start. Just like you, I start with a bed of charcoal and a few well placed logs. Open the vent all the way along with the cook chamber door and crack open the fire box door about 2"- 3" to start. Fire up the gas assist and close the cook chamber doors after a few minutes and before you know it she is up to temp! Turn off gas and maybe kept fire box door cracked open for awhile depending on time of year... but I haven't found a quicker way to get a hot clean burning fire to start cooking than this procedure!

    cheers fella, as for someone who's just getting into BBQ all this help and advice is invaluable. Only issue is, here in the UK, the BBQ culture isn't as pronounced and advanced as it is in the USA so getting good pits or off sets are difficult and the good ones imported in from the USA are mega money, still it wont stop me, just started learning on a WSM to get use to the cooking techniques but hope to graduate to a good off set when i have enough dosh to upgrade

    I can only speak from my nearly 20 years of grilling, it’s a lot like baseball in that you have to practice and love to do it. Personally I learned far more from my failures than the success. I am self taught but try to learn from others as much as I can.

    To start a fire I always use a chimney and rip parts off the charcoal bag. It makes a great way to start a fire and then you don’t have to worry about the bag taking up a lot of room in the trash can.🤘

    I am a self taught smoker from South Africa and still learning
    Im really struggling with fire management especially during the day
    My fire always dies down and the longest burn I usually have is 30 to 45 minutes
    How can I set up my fire box to burn the longest
    I use lump charcoal and pecan wood and twigs
    My real struggle is cooking on summer days
    Any advice for me

  • @frmclarty
    @frmclarty 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’ve been smoking meat for years, and been lucky to use some little pits and big pits. This is the best explanation of fire control I have heard. As he was speaking, I kept thinking to myself, “yeah, that is why that works!” I learned why I was doing things I apparently already learned through time and experience. Top notch.

    Great video! I have a 250 gal. smoker and I cook similar to what you did. My firebox is huge, so I can get away with 5-9 logs to start (really trying to get that hot coal bed ASAP). Also, a propane tank & a torch also helps! Still great information and one of the biggest issues most people have is fire management!! Keep on smokin brother!
