Finally someone who's layed back and down to earth not trying to advertise product and sound like there the king of smoking just instead explaining in simple terms how to smoke on a side smoker. I'm only feeding my family not the world. Lol I'll definitely be watch for more of your videos.
Simple, precise information. Too many videos I've seen that turn smoking meats like like you have to be a rocket scientist! I was just given a grill with an offset smoker for my birthday but didn't really know how to use it as I've never had one before. Thank you for this video...this I can understand and that's why I subscribed. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Darryl, we just bought the same smoker that you have. I haven't used it yet , but I had the idea of using charcoal just to get the fire going and use wood for the rest of the cook. Thanks for confirming my idea.
i prefer to use natural lump charcoal that does not give food a lighter fluid taste, and i also use a starter chimney that works great to start your coals without any lighter fluid. Weber makes a great one.
Lmao. You clicked on someone's video on a subject just to tell them what you prefer? SMH. Internet cats these days are so goofy. Why are you even watching a video on the subject if you already know what to do?
@@teewadleyiii4433 - No. It's to do exactly what he did: Grandstand for some attention. Nobody needs someone clicking on their video being an expert. Simply make your own video. If you want to see other methods, what would be the purpose of telling everyone what you do? Stop justifying people's ego.
@@TopBillinSports I'm not justifying anything. Op simply provided his opinion. Do you know if the content creator didn't use his advice on lump charcoal vs Matchlight?
@teewadleyiii4433 - You're still trying to justify it because you are undoubtedly pompous enough to click on a tutorial video that's literally labeled "101" to tell someone what you do. The OP didn't make a video asking for what others do, he made one showing what he does for people looking to start out grilling, hence the 101 label. Everyone knows what type of person steps on someone's toes telling them what they prefer to do; they always have to make their presence known.
Thank you! Your video definitely helped! First time using the char griller and definitely first time smoking. I'm cooking a brisket for the dallas/49er game today! GO Cowboys!!
Good stuff D. Simplified a lot for me. Just got a Smoking Joe's offset smoker. I watch several "scientific" videos on how to use the offset. This video helped way more. Appreciate it!!
Darryl, great video! I have the same setup. Following your advice on the match light kingsford. Also really great advice on controlling the temperature. Many thanks. God Bless. Tony
Comments about appearant high-mileage on the smoker... That rust is from moisture ; caused from remaining outside in the weather, without a cover. The manufacturer makes covers that fit the grill and smoker unit, which are also sold separately as a small, more portable grill. They are built to endure another Vietnam War or two ; good thick steel and very well built, sold at Lowes. I have both, the larger grill plus an additional smoker unit for a portable unit. Char Griller is made in the south, and the matching covers are made to withstand the weather. Thomas ; 81 y. o. Navy Vietnam Veteran.
Thanks for the video, it really did help, but get rid of that matchlight, and get yourself a chimney starter, and use regular charcoal. That Matchlight will leave a chemical taste in your food.
Hey my man! I love these kind of videos and I loved this one. May I make one suggestion though my brother? A charcoal chimney. I'm telling you my dude those are the best things in the world! Get those Kohl's rolling in that chimney, drop them down into that grill, and your golden.
You have to be sure not to leave that wood ash in there past the day after you cook. Lye is make from wood ash and water. Basically, you are allowing it to rust out by leaving that wood ash in, and letting it get wet in the rain.
I saw some other video. Mad science bbq channel guy. He says to spray with cooking oil to prevent and remove the rust on the fire box. I don’t have an offset smoker or anything though so take what I say with a grain of salt. Otherwise, thanks for the video! I was curious about your grill. They have it on sale at my local supermarket and I just learned today you can put that firebox attachment and make it a smoker.
Hey buddy I just got a chargrilled offset just like yours. I been smokin for 25 years but I cant get this thing to work right lol it smothers it self out with ashes after 3 to 5 hours and I gotta pull the fire pan dump it and start over. I've tried big splits like you got and wood hunks smaller but I dont know it either spikes or drops out no matter how I do the vents. I've had offsets before but maybe because the lid dont seal tight? Good video thanks buddy! Have a great day
You have to keep a watchful eye on it when using larger wood pieces normally try to add a new log once an hour but check in between. Smaller wood burner a lot quicker but if it’s burning too fast just keep adding wood. Open your side vent all the way up and try to catch a good wind flow into the fire box
Get a charcoal chimney. Use lump charcoal. When ready dump it near you're intake. Use the other side of your fire box to stage your wood. Gets it hot, ignites almost instantly, instead of smoldering. I get much better results doing it this way. Easier to control fire management imo.
Thanks for the video, it was clear and easy to follow. I just picked up one of these and when I first when you light it, it was not working out to well but I plan to try again. How long do your coals usually last for like that?
sheeit thanks for dis upload . Spray some Hi-temp krylon sprayt paint on dat offset piece tho it will last long as hell cause dat coating from that factory peel right off.
Awesome video! Recently purchased the Expert Grill off-set smoker and I just realized i’ve been doing it all wrong! Is it safe to use this type of smoker as a grill too, for example can I put charcoal in the main area and grill? Thanks in advance! Also, the long plate under the racks with the handles on each side proper way to use that? ☺️
They closed their brick and mortar but they still have their food truck located at the Citgo gas station in Spring city across from wawa. Since this post is 2 years ago you may already know
I think for smoking it’s okay just cause the wood takes away from that match light taste. All my ribs come out fine without that disgusting charcoal taste.
My real question was if you’re using nothing but briquettes once you have your briquettes lit and you have your temp up how do you keep loading briquettes without a bunch of smoke?
I guess this is a dumb question but when using the smoker , do you place the meat (in the grill) directly on the grill racks or do you place them on aluminum foil ? I'm a newbie 😊
Where do you buy those big pecan logs ?? I don't see them at home depot . Only chips in see . I really don't wanna use chips or else im gonna be glued to the bbq all day adding chips
