My First Time Using an Offset Smoker 

Old country Gen 2 is a great backyard offset. I have about 10 cooks on it and it is easy to use and does not take much fuel to keep it running.

Try running the smoker without the rack in the fire box you may find it helps hold heat more

man I love that the G2 has a collector and main cook chamber length stack, but I hate that they to sacrifice the top door and cowboy grate in the firebox

Your first time? Wow. I learned first on an offset and have since switched to a vertical smoker.

Grill private here. Been waiting for you to make this video!!

Dayum! Those amazing! Dare I say better than vertical?

Nice work homie!!!! I love my modified pecos, I almost built this very pit while modding mine 😂. Great cook and pit you got there

Love that pit, looks delicious 🤤

Youre gonna be hooked. Nothing compares to an offset

Would you recommend a pellet grill as a smoker or is an offset smoker better for smoke? I have a gas grill, so i don't care for a multipurpose device. Im thinking i want a smoker and figured since I'm new should I stick with pellet, but I enjoy a learning curve and if an offset is superior, I wouldnt mind learning

Nice video! I started my smoking journey with a Oklahoma Joe's Rider DLX it was a very good smoker for a while. I started getting error codes with this and did not want to wait for parts to get it fixed. I saw your video on the PIT BOSS Brunswick and that convinced me to go get that smoker. I have used that smoker a lot with great results. As a matter of fact I am putting on a brisket that has been in brine for 8 days for pastrami this evening on the Brunswick. I have been wanting to jump in the deep end of the smoker pool an get an offset smoker. The Workhourse 1957 is what I was considering but the price has really jumped and I was thinking about the OC G2. For the second time I think I will follow your suggestion.

The smoker seems like a winner my friend.

good stuff brutha!! nothing like a good offset

Forget the smoker, THOSE RIBS ARE MASSIVE. HOLY SHIT. I’ve never seen ribs that big before. God damn

Waste of time seasoning inside of the firebox, especially that insulated one

I always kick myself because my parents had a badass offset smoker years ago and as a teen I didn't know enough about it to actually use it properly. The one upside is it made great burgers

Enjoyed your video. I bought this offset smoker just a few days ago seasoned it, but because of weather and time constraints, I have yet to cook on it you make it look pretty good I like the way the woodburning when I was seasoning it I removed the tuning plate and the baffle with the first burn temperature stay for even

Love an offset! Keep the videos coming.

Nice job next cook I would try a pork but or chuck roast. You did a good job managing your first offset fire.

Awesome job Andrew! That pit is definitely an awesome machine. Ribs looked fantastic also, can’t wait for future cooks. Cheers 🍻

Good to see your versatility of BBQ skills. Meaning, pellet smoker and an offset smoker along with the barrel.

So, just how heavy is the door, is it heavy enough to need the counter balance that they decided to omit?

Your spritz bottle looks like a Rowe Casa spritz bottle

Great video, Andrew. Those ribs look awesome👍😊

This is great. I’m going to enjoy all this content. Will help me decide if I’m gonna get a g2 or not. Curious if u were tempted to go “bigger” for your first smoker and get a Lone Star or a Workhorse? Why the g2?

Chicken thighs on the offset are delicious. I run a light layer of AP seasoning. Then a heavy coat of voodoo. Cooked skin side down 225 for a hour then 325 to finish the skin off. And only bbq sauce on the meat side. Hey grill hey whiskey peach. Give it a try sometime pretty damn good. Nice job on the ribs too looked delicious

You should’ve wiped that oil on with a rag.

So I’ve seen pellet videos since this one where you’re sold on offsets, so I am debating going away from my offset to a pellet, what are your thoughts comparing offset and a pellet grill?

1,800 it better come with chef lol

No you are a true Texan!

what season did you use on the grill, and what do use to hydrate the ribs? thank you

Nice pit...purty racks! 👀 🍖🍖

I'd love a biscuit test without flame baffle or tuning plate!

Your first time bro offset is where it's at how did you like it ?

Good stuff, Grill SGT!

awesome..

Looks awesome, ribs and smoker...... but, is the lid as heavy as you made it seem? LOL Cheers brother

😮😅

What is the name of that smoker? What is the cost?

keep the OC G2 videos coming -- have been interested in the OC G2 for some time and your videos may help me feel better about getting an offset. thanks for the great content!

very nice! awesome video

Offset vs pitboss?
